    According to Liverpool city council, the law is a myth.

    Shit, Phil-W, where's your heart?

    I was counting my pounds/dollars in advance...

    Anyway, according to this article in a British publication called :

    "The Telegraph quotes a Liverpool City Council spokesman as debunking: 'It's something that has been heard of before and does crop up from time to time, but it is absurd. It is a myth and totally made up. It has no basis in fact.' Which is a terrible shame, we reckon, especially for tropical fish fanciers."

    However, on a happier note, the article also included:
    Most ridiculous foreign laws:
    1. In Ohio, it is illegal to get a fish drunk (9 per cent)
    2. In Indonesia, the penalty for masturbation is decapitation (8 per cent)
    3. In Bahrain, a male doctor can only examine the genitals of a woman in the reflection of a mirror (7 per cent)
    4. In Switzerland, a man may not relieve himself standing up after 10pm (6 per cent)
    5. In Alabama, it is illegal to be blindfolded while driving a vehicle (6 per cent)
    6. In Florida, unmarried women who parachute on a Sunday could be jailed (6 per cent)
    7. In Vermont, women must obtain written permission from their husbands to wear false teeth (6 per cent)
    8. In Milan, it is a legal requirement to smile at all times, except at funerals or hospital visits (5 per cent)
    9. In Japan, there is no age of consent (5 per cent)
    10. In France, it is illegal to name a pig Napoleon (4 per cent)
