You think you have weird ones just a few English ones
it is still legal to shoot a Welshman on thursdays before 12 noon with a longbow. If an Englishman sees a Scotsman in York he must by law shoot him with a longbow.
officially we are still at war with the French from the hundred years war , there has never been a cease fire.
It is still law that an Englishman must practise with his longbow for at least 4 hours a week on pain of death if not carried out. You can buy a toothbrush on Sunday but not toothpaste.
When buying a indentured girl as a servant she must be beaten with a stick only.

In York, if you discover a Scotsman, you are required to shoot him with a bow and arrow.

Although the death penalty for murder was abolished in the United Kingdom in the 1960s, it remained for treason and arson in a dockyard until the European Convention on Human Rights was incorporated into English and Scots Law. However, European conventions do not override Royal Charters – these can only be rescinded by the monarch. So the death penalty remains for impersonating a Chelsea Pensioner with intent to draw his pension.

On both counts, take care when you go to fancy dress parties.
