Book description
Did you know that it is illegal to die in the Houses of Parliament?
Were you aware that it is perfectly legal to murder a Scotsman within
the wall of the ancient city of York, but only if he is carrying a bow
and arrow? Outrageous and hilarious rules and regulations pack the
pages of More Than My Job's Worth along with incredible stories of
officialdom gone mad. How about the story of a couple in Surrey who
cleared an eyesore of weeds, litter, wrecked shopping trolleys and
bits of an old car from the area outside their front fence, dug the
ground over and put in some plants to make it all look nice for
passers-by? The local council told them that unless they paid for a
permit, they had to put everything back exactly as it was! You
couldn't make it up, as they say, but you don't need to because it's
all true! By the way, you need the permission of the Secretary of
State if you want to enter the hull of the Titanic, and in
Connecticut, USA a pickle cannot be classed as a pickle unless it can bounce!
