Here’s a fact to tell your neighbours or not 😂 #QI #iPlayer

So in Britain houses that back onto each other have to be at least 21 M apart okay that’s the law It Was Written In 1902 and it was written to protect women’s modesty so two men decided to walk away from each other until one of them couldn’t see the other’s nipples under there

Wow and it hasn’t been updated since what year was that what year was that 1902 nipples were much smaller also I eyesight’s improved as well so I’m confident I could see nipple at the end of our G oh easy

  5. Is this true? George Orwell in Wigan Pier describes back-to-back houses with 0 metres between them, ie no back doors let alone back gardens. And even without that 21 metres is a good distance; I grew up in 1930s terraces and no way were they 21 metres apart.

  11. Why would it need to be updated? The assumption that an old law needs changing is a bizarre modern idea due to permanent political class! In ancient times they would literally carve laws into stone and never change them!

  12. Wow! Is this all they can come up with? Oh how the gullible audience laughed. And these people are passed off as talent in this country. How low the bar of so called comedy has been set!

  24. Curtains existed in 1902, didn't they? Drapes, curtains, blinds, shudders. C'mon. That's like inventing a pen to write in zero G when pencils exist. This is why women should run the world.

  31. i can confirm this, the house at the back of mine is around 60 feet away, we very sadly did check once. but that also means that Manchester is too, as for nipples, the woman at the back is in her 80s, i dont want to see them….

  37. Why are they laughing at least there is some logic and science in it. Whit no harm on women. At the moment they are pushing lgbtq+++ agenda without any logic and science and harming a lot women. "Real women"

  41. Clearly that's not true!

    In 1902 Britain used the Imperial Measurement system, not the Metric Measurement system. So 21 Meters was meaningless in Britain is 1902.

    Also 21 Meters is 68.8976 Feet or 22.9659 Yards. No Building Regulations were ever written to include decimal places in measurements.

  42. I don't get it, what are these women doing in the garden that they had to have their nipples hidden from the neighbors? Would a fence not have done? And what about women in the street? If you couldn't see their nipples 21 metres away, what's to protect them when they are out in public? I don't have this season of QI yet, but I'm gonna need some context.
