    Car security

    If they want it they'll have it. All the time i have the option i Won't have a keyless as soooooo easy to steal. If car has key ignition. Almost as easy snap steering lock with new key in ignition then ODB program a new one. We're end up back to aftermarket alarms and steering wheel locks again!!

    Extension 2 storey.

    Access to their guttering would not be possible if I build and get permission to build the style I want. Who's issue would that be??? As currently they can access the gutters if neighbour is friendly
