At least that's still
legal in Norway. Mowing your lawn,
not so much;
Many Norwegians think it’s only illegal in Norway to mow
their lawns during church hours on Sundays, from 11am to noon, but the
law against it actually applies to the whole day, police confirm.
They’re often contacted during the summer months by people irritated
over neighbours disturbing the peace, and this year has been no
exception.
“We generally tell them to have a chat with their neighbours first,”
Elin Anja Drønnen, an inspector for the Sunnmøre Police District, told
state broadcaster NRK. She confirmed, however, that a national law
ensuring helgedagsfred (Sunday peace) applies all day.
Maybe Norwegians could use the free time to
brush up their 'shroomsphere;
The so-called soppkontroll stands often seen near public
transport hubs on weekends during mushroom season won’t be set up this
year. Public funding for the mushroom advisers ended in 2007, and
newspaper Aftenposten reported over the weekend that Norway’s national mushroom association has now run out of resources as well.
“There’s nothing we’d rather do than carry out mushroom controls,” Edvin W Johannesen of the association (Norges sopp- og nyttevektsforbund, NSNF) told Aftenposten.
“But now we’ve scraped the bottom of our resources and we aren’t able
to operate this fall without support from the authorities.”
It's probably illegal in Norway for mushroom experts to sell their services as consultants, too.
