We're getting slightly more like that with further devolution of laws to Scotland and Wales. There are a few quirky laws that change when you cross over invisible borders. For example, in England if you are prescribed medicine by a doctor, there is a nominal fee to pay for that medicine (around $10, regardless of what the medication is). In Scotland and Wales, there is no fee. And if you live in England but close to the border, there is nothing stopping you registering with a Welsh or Scottish medical practice and getting your prescriptions for nothing!
And on the plus side, Scotland, despite it being the home of whisky, has a minimum price per alcohol unit so you can't get any cheap booze or special offers on alcohol. But pop across the border to an English supermarket and you can fill your boots.
