Hello ladies and gents this is the Viking telling you that today we are talking about
WEIRD UK LAWS
Vacuuming after 1pm on a Sunday
Other laws commonly broken include parking on double yellow lines, cycling on the pavement and throwing tree cuttings into their neighbour’s garden.
Vacuuming after 1pm on a Sunday is among the more unusual laws on the list and could land you in trouble with environmental health officers for making too much noise.
Sticking a postage stamp to an envelope upside down is treason in the eyes of the law.
Flying a kite in a park could lead to a fine of up to £500 if it obstructs other members of the public.
And, although for many it’s an ‘innocent’ childhood prank, knocking on someone’s door and running away is another ‘small’ law broken by Brits.
Almost half of people said being caught doing something illegal would be enough to convince them not to do it again.
Sixty per cent of respondents said it bothers them when they see others breaking the law - even if it’s something relatively small.
On average, UK adults spot people doing something they shouldn’t four times a day - although just ten per cent would ever confront the offender.
The top 10 'small' laws broken by Brits
1. Drank alcohol under the age of 18
2. Sworn or gestured to other road users
3. Eaten or drank whilst driving
4. Vacuumed between the hours of 6pm & 8am on a weekday or 1pm & 8am on a Saturday or on a Sunday
5. Parked partly on a payment
6. Cycled on pavements
7. Speeding whilst driving
8. Pocketed change when given wrong amount
9. Beeped a horn for any reason other than alerting traffic
10. Been drunk on the street, in a pub or in a restaurant
And as always have a chilled day from the Viking
