Fact:-
New members should post a few things about themselves in the 'Introduce Yourself' thread.
Just a few facts so that other members can get to know them.

Re: Anybody got a fact or 3?
you can legally shoot a welshman with a bow and arrow from the walls of york castle,between the hours from sundown to sunrise
you can still be hung for killing a swan,as it is a treasonable offence as they are owned by the queen.

Re: Anybody got a fact or 3?
If you die without making a will
....no living relatives are traced
....instead of the country getting what you leave
....Lizzie gets it if you lived in Lancs
....and Big Ears if you lived in Cornwall

I love fishing (and old farts in Ontario can fish sans licence ). As the saying goes: "Give a man a fish, and you will feed him for a day. Teach a man how to fish, and he will sit out in a boat all day drinking beer"
