That looks to me as if you can park two cars there, and not necessarily your own vehicles (you may find in the documents a definition or reference to who may exercise the right eg it may be available to yourselves, and your invitees, visitors etc.)
You should pay your share of repair costs, and the vehicles have to be private and roadworthy. Registration of car numbers is convenient for the owner to monitor illegal use of the area, which could be to all legitimate users benefit, but if you did not the owner could not in my view stop you from parking there just for that reason.

If you have an easement to park there then I can't see how the owner can also require you to submit particular car numbers, or depending on the wording of the easement, prevent your genuine visitors from parking there. But the car clamping notices must be a matter for the owner; I doubt you can do anything about them. Provided you comply with the wording of the easement, I cant see he has a right to clamp you; his clamping would be in breach of that easement he granted, whether or not you submitted the car numbers.

But everyone's suspicions are not born out by experience. After bans are established most places around the world have found either neutral or better business returns (one reason why Ireland decided to do it). Some customers leave, but more tend to arrive and stay, and the staff who have to work there prefer it.
As only 1 in 4 people smoke it seems odd to make the non-smoker join in, rather than the other way around.

Here in Hong Kong A/C is the norm, but we still get exactly the same problems mentioned by Philip Mitcham. Even if the original fitout is OK the tenant/occupier then changes the partitioning to suit a revised layout without incorporating A/C adjustments. Result: too hot/too cold all over the place and angry complaints to management, when the problem was in fact self-induced.
Also, don't underestimate the effectiveness of blinds to control temperature for localised areas.

What is meant when we use the word "stress"? I don't follow the distinction between 'stress' and 'pressure' as described, and stress management courses I have been on did not make that distinction either.
I have always understood 'stress' (or whatever you want to call it) can be good stress or bad stress: the good stress is motivating and gets things done, and that's where the satisfaction comes in; bad stress has the opposite effect.
Its a question of what the stress is and how it can be managed to become a positive power rather than a debilitating one, with serious consequences. Most of us are under the influence of various 'stressors', but it's only when these become overwhelming or cannot be neutralised that the negative effects are dangerous. Until then there's a definite personal-positive effect.
But it can be a fine line between the two and we must recognise the symptoms in others and ourselves.
