Re: Rude
An interesting point regarding the MOT, at least in England, from my knowledge...
A few years ago, they changed regulations regarding the need for an MOT for certain classes of Historic Vehicles. But it's still your responsibility to ensure roadworthyness and adherence to applicable regulations before driving on the Queen's[King's] highway

Re: Incomprehensible
I've got a few electron guns around the house. And I don't have a gun licence!
Actually, the police won't be interested after they've broken the door down coming through to look for them, after someone calls in the armed response team that a nutcase has said he's got some electron guns.
And before someone makes that call and wastes police time, they are Cathode Ray Tubes, as found in pre-LCD era TVs, computer monitors, oscilloscopes etc
