British laws that seem absurd but actually exist in the UK

[post_page_title]No eating chocolate on public transportation[/post_page_title]
Don’t worry chocoholics, this law is no longer in effect. It is said that it was once illegal for women to eat chocolate on public transportation.

We’re not sure why such a law would exist in the first place, let alone only apply to women, but it doesn’t seem very fair to us. Good thing they struck this one down, because it’s one of the worst rules we’ve heard. It would also be pretty hard to enforce.
