Where would i go to find out what the expiry date is on those? No they don't my inlaws were told no street parking when they built and now people always do.

We have these in our estate, along with these others: Homes must have two different textures to the wall construction of the home (brick, render, moroka, cladding etc) AND homes must have minimum of two separate colours to the external walls (different brick colours, feature render colour etc) Re: What did you find to be your most ridiculous guideline ? 19Jun 01, 2010 3:46 pm Here is a good one!
