Ill health.

I would ban people owning more than two properties in the UK.

amplified music in public places that are not organised events e.g at a beach / in your garden

Your garden is not a public place!

anything over 500m and it has to be put into the common good

Smoking, playing music and burning bonfires in any space where it could have the potential to affect other people.

(So basically, only in the middle of nowhere when the wind is blowing in the right direction)

I'd ban fake tan and sunbeds. Unnecessary.

I get the sun beds but fake tan!?! Loads of things are unnecessary so that can't be the reason. Unless you want to ban all unnecessary things which would be a very long list and make life very dull.

Bleurgh fake tan smells horrible though. I was once stuck in a hot room with 30 cabin crew recruits. Haven't been able to eat rich tea biscuits since!

Lorries overtaking on motorways. Slows everyone down, and you never know when one is suddenly going to lunge out right in front of you.

Definitely agree with banning garden bonfires.

Using Karen in any context other than as someone's name

I'd like to see a ban on councils closing libraries, too.

To be fair I think lorries have got better in recent years - much less waiting until you are alongside them and then putting their indicator on so you think they are going to squash you. I would prefer them to stop overtaking someone doing 58mph when they are doing 59mph though. But people pulling caravans or trailers tend to be more dangerous in my view.

If all our road freight travelled at the speed of the slowest lorry because they couldn't overtake, wouldn't the left-hand lane end up bumper-to-bumper lorries, with goods taking forever to get anywhere?

AndreaC74 · 21/07/2022 11:11

Lorries carry goods to stock our shelves and warehouses, transport raw materials etc they aren't driving around for the fun of it... unlike caravans & horse boxes, which should be forced back to the depths of hell where they belong.

So you're not allowed to have a caravan and you're not allowed to own a holiday home.. are motorhomes ok? Or is no one allowed on holiday?
