A reasonable law
We've run into lots of crazy laws here in Europe. For example, did you know it's a crime to transport livestock in a Volkswagen Passat?
This is one law I agree with, however:
The locals here in Brugge tell me it means "Please don't wear a derby hat and shovel coal onto my lawn." Who can argue with that?
Yes, of course I knew it's a crime to transport livestock in a Volkswagen Passat.

Posted by: So-Called Bill at July 19, 2007 9:58 AMUsed to be you could produce a caper film involving tunneling into a bank vault anywhere in Belgium, but what with the EU and all, let's just say you'd be lucky to find four places where you could produce a caper film involving tunnneling into a bank vault in all of Flanders!
Also, RK: I used to think you knew everything. Now I know, you know everything.
