If asked to do so, you must stop noisy work in suburban neighbourhoods
between 1-3 pm to allow people to have an after-lunch kip.

You cannot park your car in the front garden, although you may park it
(facing the right way of course) in the road outside of your house.

You cannot wash your car at home, you must use a car wash.

Shops shut at 12 on a Saturday, and don't open on a Sunday.
