    In Scotland, it is illegal for a boy under the age of ten to see a naked mannequin.
    This is an arcane but amusing derivative of laws preventing the corruption of youth, although it is unclear who is liable should it happen, the parents, shop, or perhaps the mannequin? Needless to say, no one has ever been charged with this offence .

    And quite rightly so, we must protect the kiddies from the lewd behaviour of shop mannequins.
    Just another way Scotland is leading the world.

    Got to bed at 2.00am after spending the afternoon digging fire breaks and burying the LPG gas bottles, slept in my clothes and still haven't showered or changed since I got up at 5.00am.
    Just stopped for lunch, so no, it's not too early. :burp:

    Still get arrested for vagrancy if carrying less than a shilling, in England, apparently...

    This is his Scottish genes at work because he wants more gas bottles.
    Last year he put two of his LPG bottles in a room hoping they would mate and now this year he's putting them in the ground hoping they will grow!
    Who's gonna explain to him????:rolleyes:

    Better than having 300 kilograms of LPG explode.
    I'll probably bury that internally. :beer:

    A local by law in Bristol states that it’s an offence to wear soft soled shoes after six o’clock of an evening in Park Street, which has always been a rather well to doo sortof place. Perhaps we had our fair share of bounders to go with our inexhaustible supply of off duty innocent sailor types back in the day?

    Ozziedog,,,,,,,,,,,Bristol, and innocents, hard to connect really innit :)
