The English Common Law has evolved over about 1500 years and its core tenants and model are the basis of the law used by most democracies on Earth (partly by choice and partly as a legacy of the British Empire).
This means that the Laws of England would feel comfortable to most people on Earth - rather than being "strange".
However, with such a long history, England, in common with any county in the world, seems to have a collection of strange laws that are bizarre, outdated or just plain wrong, even to the people who live there. For instance there is a law which says that MP's are not allowed to wear armour in parliament.
Other redundant or bizarre laws include but are not limited:
It is illegal to keep a pigsty in front of your house (Unless duly hidden).
It is illegal to erect a washing line across any street.
It is illegal to sing any profane or obscene song or ballad in any street.
It is illegal to willfully and wantonly disturb people by ringing their doorbells or knocking at their doors.
It is illegal to order or permit any servant to stand on the sill of any window to clean or paint it.
It is an offense for the keeper of a place of public resort to permit drunkenness in the house.
It is illegal to eat Mute Swan unless you're the Queen of Great Britain.
It is illegal under the terms of the Prohibition and Inspections Act of 1998 to cause a nuclear explosion.
It is illegal for a cab in the City of London to carry rabid dogs or corpses.
Under the terms of a bye-law it is illegal to "Jump" the queue in the tube ticket hall.
On occasions Parliament take the opportunity to repeal some of this redundant legislation, but finding all these old laws so that this can happen is not a high priority and common sense prevails when thinking about applying laws that ate no longer relevant to English life.
