Originally posted by martin williamsactually-the uni has some rules of it's own. apparently the school running an exam has to provide beer for all the students sitting said exam at the start of the exam. so, one day a few years ago a student informed an invigilator about it. the invigilator looked it up, and lo and behold he had to provide one pint of beer for the student! and the student got his beer.
You're forgetting it's St. Andrews; home of the R&A.
The only laws that matter up there are the rules of golf, which I'm sure all three are masters at (especially Peter Alliss, that man is a legend).
However, later that day he was spotted in the quad without his ceremonial sword and was fined one pint of beer.
other rules include: students wearing gowns are not allowed entry into pubs (but get in free to the castle!), and 3 students wearing gowns constitute a procession and so can stop traffic etc...
