Rob, i'm afraid if you don't own that field you're on it's a £1000 fine and 10 minutes in the Aggro-Dome.

Self-incrimination is no defence.

I perhaps ought to keep it a secret that we also have 2 V8 Range Rovers. :-S

Oh No did I say that out loud?  #-o

Orcs


1 Children should banned from supermarkets. The amount of times I have nearly run over some misbehaving brat while pushing a fully loaded trolley when they suddenly run accross the aisle in front of you....... >:(.  I know if I hit them, thier parents will blame me as its not thier little darlings fault. No its not ..... ITS YOUR FAULT FOR NOT KEEPING THEM UNDER CONTROL.

2 Parents who allow thier little darlings to pick up other peoples figures or traders stock at wargames shows should be put in thumbscrews after being made to purchase everything said little darling has touched.

3 In summer the supermarket freezers should be kept with only a single layer of produce at the bottom. Thus improving the view as young ladies reach for the item.  :d :d.    Note law 1 also has to be in place or it might well be my fault when the little darling is run over. ;D

three cheers for that man!!!
Entirely agree. But this thread has lost the path; we're listing offences, not laws.

Haha!  I was at a show last year, happily chatting with a customer, when I looked down to find his young lad was systematically going along my display trees, smushing them between thumb and forefinger one at a time.   :'(

It should be against the law for retired people to enter a bank, post office, buiding society etc. between the hours of 12 and 2.  They've all day to get their stuff sorted out, I've got half an hour.

Speaking as a retired person, Dan, I agree entirely. Used to drive me crackers. ~X(

1.  If you have a cough/cold it is illegal to leave the house or go to work or any other place where you might infect other people.

Huh. You persuade my employer to pay people when they're sick, and I'll stay home with my runny nose.

Cheers, Martyn

Section 4 of my petty little law;

4.0 Payments to absent staff
Staff will be paid double time for their infection-based absence. 
This will benefit the employee who will be able to relax and recover faster, free from stress.
This will benefit the employer, who will only be losing 1-2 working days from one employee rather than dozens of working days from all the other employees that would have been infected by this unclean individual.

And while we're on work...

It shall be illegal for a manager to refer to a policy as a strategy, and vice versa.

It shall be illegal to call the department 'Human Resources'.  I am a person, not a resource. 

It shall be illegal to moan at me for not turning my PC monitor off overnight 'because it wastes energy', when the heating is on despite it being 12 degrees C outside, forcing me to open the windows to try and reduce the office temperature to below 38 degrees C.   >:(

It shall be illegal to organise meetings between 12 and 1pm (lunchtime) any day, before midday on Mondays, or after midday Fridays.
