If you are pregnant you can pee in a copper's helmet.

Coppers up here don't were helmets.

In fact there are several websites dedicated to proving it. :whistle

It is an act of treason to place a postage stamp bearing the British monarch upside down.

In Britain, in 1888, a law was passed which stated that every cyclist had to constantly ring the bell on his bicycle non-stop while the machine was moving.

In Scotland, it is illegal to kill an Englishman, except if you are doing it just for pleasure!

In Scotland again, if you own more than 12 sheep, it is mandatory to prove that you are not a "pimp".

i dont know whether this is classed as a special priviledge but are we classed as agents of the queen of England when bearing the royal emblem lol

" I've seen a clamper clamp a royal mail vehicle once holding up the postman from delivering mail, he was arrested and charged with holding up the queens mail, illegally impounding a royal vehicle and obstructing an agent of the queen of England bearing the royal emblem. i read that the guy spent 6 weeks in jail," quote taken from feedback from spiceworks.com

Certainly in London RM vans get away with whatever they like with regards traffic wardens, parking in bus lanes, blocking single lane roads while they pop in to deliver a parcel. I'm rather envious!! Particularly when I'm walking back around the corner in the cold and wet to deliver and get a toot from the grinning, dry postie.

While i'm here; RM (and PF it turns out - had a run in with a copper :Very Happy ) are also the only commercial company that are allowed to drive through the royal parks.

Though we're not allowed to race through them - he said lol

I don't think I need to comment, my work on this forum seems to be complete and now it's time for my children to go out and spread my dubious humour far and wide.
