Good old English Law! It's great! It's virtually impossible to repeal a law, so nine hundred years of monarchy have left us with a system that revolves around the concept of plastering over the old laws with new ones...

If anyone ever wonders why it is London cab drivers carry a bale of hay in their trunk, the answer is, it's the law... they're also required to have a footman, but in the interests of public safety footmen were proclaimed optional. Clinging to a roof-rack of a London taxi is no way to make a living.
