RE: Most Boring Town. Ever.
Skelmersdale UK was built in the 1960's and it's full of roundabouts. Infact, they've made 2004 calenders called, "ROUNDABOUTS OF SKELMERSDALE".

RE: Brilliant (*cough*) Laws
In Chester (UK), it's illegal to shoot a Welshman with a bow and arrow inside city walls on Sunday night.
In Liverpool (UK), it's illegal to run naked in the streets if you are not a clerk in a tropical fish store (true!!!)
