The 15 most absurd laws existing in UK

True that British are known internationally for their politeness and obedience to the law, and that as a country, the UK is on the top list when it comes to places with most existing rules. Nevertheless, some of their laws have become out-dated and just make no sense at all nowadays. Here are the 15 most absurd laws still existing in UK:

• 1. It is illegal to die in the House Of Parliament.

• 2. Mince pies cannot be eaten during Christmas Day.

• 3. In Scotland, you are obliged to let anybody who knocks at your door in need of a toilet, inside your house.

• 4. All beached whales and sturgeons must be offered to the reigning monarch. Any whale´s dead head found on the British coast is automatically property of the King, and any tail to the Queen.

• 5. It is considered an offence to shake out any carpet or mat in any street in the Metropolitan Police District, however, you are allowed to shake your doormat before 8 am.
