  1. Today I learned that at one time in Merry Old England, it was ok to knock the helmet off a Constable, as long as it didn't fly off too far. Probably has something to do with cricket.

    Did she sing a song of six pence when all was said and done?

  3. I was wondering about that too, gwdMaine.  Where would I go to find out what was the legal distance?

    1. Obviously, you’d go to England and give it a try and report back. Make sure to start a Gofundme if anything goes wrong and we can chip in the £1,2s,6d to get you out of jail. Gaol
