Hello Franz

FH It's a funny old law if the powers that be can't be bothered
FH to enforce it.

Our country's full of 'em, but then, so are most other countries. The
US has some wonderful state laws dating back a couple of hundred years
that haven't (AFAIK) been repealed, like it being illegal to take a
bath on the Sabbath.

I don't know whether the law has been repealed since, but when I drove a
Hackney carriage I should have taken with me a bale of hay.
