I'm not sure that we're any more sane on this side of the Shining Big Sea Water, Min. You might find this difficult to believe, but an ancient law that made it legal to shoot a Scotsman with a bow and arrow in the English north eastern town of Berwick-on-Tweed (except on Sundays) was removed from the statute books only a few years ago. I was much relieved that I could then -- as an Edinburgh-born chappy -- for the first time go to the wee toon any day of the week to pick out a tweed hat without becoming a target for local archery nuts.
