    Good attempt! I had been wondering if some maniac would try one of these across a city. One thing's for sure, when the cops are going to plot all your CCTV sightings on a map, they're going to be very confused.

    Yeah I am not expert of UK law but pretty sure tresspass is civil but TRESSPASS AT NIGHT is a criminal offence, so not smart to prowl on or around residences between sunset and sunrise. Climbing buildings etc.. could be seen as possible to cause damage to roofs, railings brickwork etc.. so just be careful for sure as trespass laws do exist beyond civil tort. Landowners now have the right to prosecute, as on 28th June 2022, the now Police, Crime, Sentencing and Courts Bill (PCSAC) received Royal Assent, making trespass, in some circumstances, a criminal offence punishable by up to four months imprisonment and/or a fine of up to £2,500. Many landowners welcome the introduction of the PCSCA as it provides a significantly less costly way for trespassers to be removed from land.What The Law Says
    Under the new legislation, it is an offence if a person over the age of 18: Resides, or intends to reside, on land, in or with a vehicle (including a caravan) without the consent of the landowner; and
    Fails to leave and/or remove their property as soon as reasonably practicable when asked to do so; and
    Has caused, or is likely to cause, ‘significant’:
    Damage to the land/property/environment
    Disruption to the us of the land and/or supply of utilities; and/or
    Distress via ‘offensive conduct’. Just the stuff happening at night like someone climbing your house etc.. might cause "distress" and be seen as offensive conduct and interoduce the risk of damage to the property.. imo not super serious but if something were to happen any clmbing of stuff using railings etc.. could result in damage to them, so probably just entering the area of where concern may arise, in what would be like prowling like activities. Also would be suprised this wouldn't fall under like public order stuff or antisocial behavior since the UK went sort of nuts with that to enforce normal friendly behavior that isn't going to upset people. Not 100% sure on that but while it may be a civil trespass, doing stuff on peoples property at night when they don't have a clear idea why someone is climbing their house may create concern. None the less end of the day no harm done, just if you can accidnetally break something it may actually be vandalism not simply innocent travel. Like look at it from the perspective of the person getting woken up by the sound of someone climbing their house "The Crime and Disorder Act definition (1998) A widely used definition of anti-social behaviour is the definition contained in the Crime and Disorder Act (1998): 'Acting in a manner that caused or was likely to cause harassment, alarm or distress to one or more persons not of the same household as (the defendant). '" Not saying its a serious or criminal matter but I think it would raise eyebrows and be a possible cause of frustration to occur at night while people are sleeping to suddently be awoken by someone outside their 2nd floor window climbing their wall. In some areas i am sure the purpose would be thought to be Burglary at first glance most likely and introduce the fear of violence.

      Just to have said this as a dutch guy: It does not make sense.
      Leicester.... if i was to pronounce it as a dutch guy understanding a little bit of english, i would say: Lei Ces Ter.
      All of it.
      And to then hear someone say: Lester.....
      shortening it to Lester.....
      It just doesn't make sense but i did already know about this stuff. And it is funny indeed.
      Thanks for the Response.
      Btw, the name of this town....
      llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch
      It already cleared it up.
      British don't mind how it is spelled. They will just pronounce it the way they want to.
      Leicester, heck what, Lester...... Who cares about how it is written >;)
      I could pronounce it, llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwlllantysiliogogogoch.
      But, to be honest, i lost my touch.
      And, if that is english, i eat my shoes. It has to be, since it is in England.
      It can't be Russian, ey?

      i love it, seriously.
      How you guys write it one way then when you say it half of the letters disappear.
      Sure, we dutch have our stuff. 's-Hertogenbosch for example is the name of a city, the one i live in. Almost nobody in Britain is able to pronounce it the way it should be pronounced.
      But, we do use the letters, all of em.
      Anyways, it is always funny to hear British people pronounce certain city names and so on.
      It does how ever make it more difficult for dipsticks like me (non British Gentiles) to understand what is being said.
      Heck, if someone on the streets said: Lester.
      Well, i would have a hard time finding it on the map.
      I would have no clue where it is.
      Since it is not on the map as Lester.
      Anyways, thanks for the laugh, pal.
