You are an American, aren't you? Americans are the only people who specify that London is in England.

One of the funniest and most irritating thing I ever heard was from an American. I was just starting out on the walk up the Lost Valley in Glencoe, when I heard an American accent from the layby that sits under the 3 sisters. It proclaimed, "Oh my God , I heard a lamb bleat!"

What do you expect to hear in Glencoe? The thundering hooves of wildebeasts? The roar of the Bengal tiger? The ...whatever the noise that penguins make is... of a penguin?

Anyway, back to the question.

I haven't the foggiest idea. Sorry.

Yes its called "quitting"i think, can't remember the exact legislation its from.

There are no national laws but there are local council bye-laws depending where you are at the time.
