What planet are these law-makers on?
Tom's a law maker??
Tom: your friend "who ought to know" -- get him to quote chapter and
verse in the law that says that it's illegal to push a pram on the
footway. If he can't, then his statement is not credible.

I think it is in Section 72 of the Highways Act of 1835. That is the law
that makes it illegal to cycle on the pavement and I think it extends to all
wheeled vehicles. Unfortunately, I can't find it online.
