I’m sure that most people in the UK are able to take a leek any time they want. The ‘Bobbies’ might be upset if you didn’t pay to take a leek and they might be more upset if you took a leek on their person.
I hope the Brits will soon be able to take a leek whenever they like, after paying, of course! I hear that Cock-a-Leekie Soup is popular in Scotland.
