    If this is the men's department, where are the kilts?

    I read this a little while ago...I'm sure glad to know that expecting women can relieve themselves in a police officers' helmet...wouldn't want them leaving puddles on the street! OH, MY! What were those law makers thinking?!

    Wow!
    That was a close one.
    I was thinking about doing all of those things, during my next visit to the UK!

    When I was kilted in York Minster earlier this year I was approached by a clergyman who said I was brave as I could legally be killed.

    Now I know would have to have the bow and arrow too for a legal defence to stick I shall breathe easier on my next visit!

    Ah yes, in York they actually carry a "throw-away" bow and arrows in their back pockets in case they accidentally kill a Scotsman. "He was armed so I backed over him with my car..."
