There are many traditions associated with both chambers of the Houses of Parliament. The Woolsack, for instance, is a sort of stool stuffed with wool, originally placed in Parliament in Edward III's reign as a symbol of the basis of England's prosperity at that time. Nowadays, it is the seat of the Lord Chancellor, as Speaker of the House of Lords and is significantly stuffed with a blend of wool from the colonies and dominions.
There is a place between the two sides of the Houses. In the Houses of Commons this space is approximately the width of two drawn swords. Formerly,the MP's, when very heated, sometimes drew swords and a figk began.Therefore, a ruler was imposed prohibiting members to cross the space. Today any MP who puts a foot forward is "called to amber" immediately by the Speaker and he has to apologise to the House.

 I’ve been fond of cartoons from the very childhood and I still like watching some of them. My favourite cartoon is “Tom and Jerry”. It’s not too childish, so people of all ages can watch it. The main characters of this cartoon are the cat Tom and the mouse Jerry. Each time Tom sees Jerry, he tries to catch him, but unsuccessfully. Jerry is a little, smart mouse. He gets away with any prank. The reason, why I like this cartoon more than others, is its kind and funny plot. Each time I watch it, it makes me smile and laugh, so good mood for the day is provided. When I was younger, I also watched “Tom and Jerry”. I can’t say I liked Tom’s character more than Jerry’s, or vice versa. I liked both these characters, as they were good in their own way. Tom often gets in stupid situations while chasing a tricky mouse and that makes me feel sorry for him. Jerry’s mission is not to get caught, because if he does, the cat will probably eat him. So, when I watch the series of this cartoon, I worry about both characters at the same extent. I’m sure I’m not the only child, who likes “Tom and Jerry”. Millions of kids across the world watch this cartoon.
