Sounds like the shoot out at the OK Corral outside here this morning.

The estate has let the shoot out to a syndicate of Scallypool "Businessmen"

They blast away at anything that moves and, according to the gamekeeper, hit very little tho' he is convinced it is only a matter of time before they hit one another. Last year they managed to hit a passing car and peppered several houses with shot which led to "Police Enquiries" and several "resignations" from the syndicate.
I used to have a handle on life but it broke.

I vaguely remember something about it being legal to do that from a certain bridge as long as you use a longbow...

I have heard this too. I think Peter Ackroyd mentions it in his latest book. London Bridge I think.

See laws 1 and 10:-

John Collins and Partners (http://www.jcpsolicitors.co.uk/12835.html)  top ten weird laws are:

1. In Hereford you can shoot a Welsh person all day on a Sunday, with a Longbow, in the Cathedral Close.
2. It is legal for a male to urinate in public, as long it is on the rear wheel of his motor vehicle and his right hand is on the vehicle.
3. A bed may not be hung out of a window.
4.It is illegal for a lady to eat chocolates on a public conveyance.
5. It is illegal to be drunk on Licensed Premises.
6. Taxi drivers are required to ask all passengers if they have smallpox or the plague.
7. Any person found breaking a boiled egg at the sharp end will be sentenced to 24 hours in the village stocks (enacted by Edward VI).
8. Any boy under the age of 10 may not see a naked mannequin.
9. Throughout the whole of England it is illegal to eat mince pies on the 25th of December.
10. You can shoot a Welsh person with a bow and arrow in Chester, inside the city walls and after midnight.

That really doesn't need thinking about.

I have broken out into a sweat just thinking about it. Have liberated a giant green Quality Street triangle to cope with the stress.
