"A court has rejected a 60 year old man's attempt to invoke the ancient right to trial by combat, rather than pay a UKP 25 fine for a minor motoring offence... Instead of accepting his offer to take on a clerk from Swansea with "samurai swords, Ghurka knives or heavy hammers", fined him UKP 200 with UKP 100 costs."
