What Would Your Rule Be ?

[Canary42]

Prince Charles’ latest pet housing project, the Nansledan housing development in Cornwall, comes with some 85 neighbourhood rules.

They include a ban on visible washing lines, flag flying, ball games, satellite dishes, plastic blinds, caravans, external drain pipes, slamming doors and public drunkenness. There are strict rules about what House colours are allowed. Bins must be left outside on the day of collection only. House numbers must be placed in a certain way and caravans and satellite dishes aren’t allowed.

Some of these sound quite attractive to me. I can't wait until he's King !

Given the chance, what would your rule be ?

To ban Prince Charles

[Baldric]

My rule would be,
"Just don't let Charles anywhere near the Throne"

Just recently I had a new balcony door/window fitted - my management committee followed this with guidelines on how to care for it.

One rule was 'Do not dry washing indoors,hang outside on a line'.

I emailed them back and thanked them for the change in rules after 40 years - I have been pulled up many times for hanging out my laundry to dry. :-)

They are now in a state of flux,bless.

I don’t think Ive ever seen a visible line of washing, unless I look over my neighbours fence, and personally I don’t want my washing on display anyway!
I don’t like the noise flags make flapping around.
There’s a covenant in our close about no caravans.
Bins are only put out on the day here anyway.
Public drunkenness, no brainier really.
As for the other rules, sound perfectly reasonable to me, can’t actually think of another.

Friends of mine rented a house in a very posh years ago. The agent contacted them and asked if the lady of the house would mind not hanging out her underwear on the washing line as it upset her elderly male neighbour. As the garden was fenced all the way around she asked how he could see said washing, which btw was very plain white for weating under her NHS uniform. The agent replied....."he looks out of his bedroom window. I get banning drunken behaviour and slamming doors but flags and satellite dishes????really?

[Baldric]

Yes, ban flags, especially the Union Flag as most people don't know which way up it goes.

[brainiac]

No ménages à quatres :)

The "green" prince won't let you use natural ways of drying your washing then.
If you're going to be away for a day you miss that week's rubbish collection.
Without any external drain pipes you can't collect your own water in a butt and save water.
Not a very green prince then

He’s bonkers .

I doubt that Charles has implemented these rules.Probably down to his estate manager.

I'm in a conservation area, so a lot of those rules already apply to me and everyone around me; they're no bother, though it's a nuisance having to get council permission to prune our Heritage Tree.

Not a bad lot of rules, really, though I wonder if parents might face eviction if their kids come home drunk one night - that would be harsh.

But making rules known in advance rather than imposing them retrospectively is fine by me; people can decide whether they want to live there.

[teacake44]

Bonkers for sure, but feathering his nest like the rest of the gang that we don't need.

[douglas9401]

No public displays of adultery.

[aelmpvw]

did you type 'No' by mistake?

[ichkeria]

Invisible washing lines don’t work I’ve found.
The only one missing there is “breathe through your nose on Monday to Wednesday. Mouth Thursday to Sunday”
And no more than six house guests anytime :-)

[Cloverjo]

The only thing that bothers me is noise. I’m not remotely upset by people’s washing hanging outside or caravans on the drive.
