A few others include

Putting a stamp on an envelope the wrong way round could be seen as an act of treason.

Pregnant women are allowed to relieve themselves anywhere they want to.

The head of any dead whale found on the British coast automatically becomes the property of the King, and the tail becomes the property of the Queen.

It's illegal to own, buy, sell or have a live/dead/part of a badger on your person.

I love the Badger Act.
