Next: Bergerac |
|
By:
Jersey law requires that anyone found to dislike tomatoes or beer must be deported. This is a little known law, to be found in an 1830 revision of a 1723 colonial directive which directed that offenders be staked out on a dune infested with horseflies for two days before they were set adrift in a small leaky craft. This particular law was the basis for Jim Bergerac's first ever case when he first joined the Jersey Constabulary in 1976, And went on to be the main theme for the 1981 episode entitled 'Last chance for a loser.'
