Sad and quite horrific

In Liverpool, it is illegal for a woman to be topless in public except as a clerk in a tropical fish store.]

This one is a cracker!!!

As is this one...

Under the UK’s Tax Avoidance Schemes Regulations 2006, it is illegal not to tell the taxman anything you don’t want him to know, though you don’t have to tell him anything you don’t mind him knowing.

The Church of England can still deny Suicides burial in their grave yards.

A church close to my mum, but not the one she attends, has an 'unconsecrated' area of its graveyard where the suicides were buried. Even worse it's where they used to put the un-baptized infants too. This is a very old church though and all the graves in this area are pretty ancient. When you consider the alternative of burial at a crossroads though, having this area was probably considered quite compassionate of them at the time.

I know the church does have the right to deny a christian burial, but do they actually do so? I would find it a touch strange if that were the case, although I am not at all a religious person.

I would very much hope that my church, the good old wooly-minded C of E, wouldn't, but I'm sure there are some miserable bastards of anglican priests who would.
In Italy, a year or so ago, a young man who had become completely paralysed and dependant on a ventilator to breathe due to muscular dystrophy insisted on the ventilator being switched off so that he could die. The Catholic church decided that that constituted suicide, and refused him a Catholic funeral.
