community good hard individual legislate number question rights square taste terms
It's a hard thing to legislate. You can't legislate good taste and you can't put a number on it in terms of square footage,... It's a question of where individual rights end and community rights begin.

mother making-money traders
I come from a family of traders; my grandmother and my mother were very good at making money.
long saving stuff
Property is my major investment. My accountant has put money into various long-term savings arrangements. To be honest, I am a bit vague about all that stuff.
thinking arms banking
I'd make banks more accountable. I think they should separate totally the personal banking arm with whatever else they are playing around with.
people banking process
I don't like the anonymity of the banking process - people now don't have a bank manager they ever meet.

mother thinking views
I think that in a family some are workers some are not. I certainly saw my mother work very hard and be in charge and never show any kind of fear about business deals. Her golden rule was you should never be embarrassed talking about money and asking for what you deserved. I take the same view.
