Where does he say he has a million pound business?
He doesn't explicitly, but it's a fair assumption that a business housed in its own million pound building will be at least a million pound business.

Unless he's renting, or in part of it or it's in London, where that would be about 3ft square;)

The original poster asking the question is Matt Sketch.

The owner of the million pound building is julian64.

Great stuff. I presume that 1 foot square million pound offices come with 20 parking staff and you can easily house them in that office space. Also, he did refer to it as "my million pound building". If he was renting he might care a bit less about windows and the property.

No parking at my office in question frown and no staff for that business smile

As for renting, it he rents an entire building it is likely to be an FRI lease and that means windows are his problem

And he still describes it as "my building". With the emphasis I'm making on the "my". Equally, if he rented it, surely he'd describe it as "my £x0000pm building"

How about these?

There must be a version which can be remotely lowered to allow entry.

Alternatively if they are clearly signed and have to be lowered for exit then anyone driving over them is denying their own exit. You did not do or add anything to block their exit.

Gosh this thread took a Daily Mail slant with a twist into property values.

Tend to agree with Breaders view that the Government needed to sort out the cowboy clampers but with very tight regulation and price control. Needed to still permit immediate vehicle immobilisation though which is the pain that teaches the lesson.

But then take a look at the charges imposed by enforcement agents on behalf of councils and TfL. Another official set of cowboys.

As far as OP is concerned barriers to entry and exit would seem to be the way but it seems to be that he can't use this method.

Also it depends how neanderthal the neanderthal tts are.

A case study. Space at side of a building in a university city. Some full time residents who only used them evenings and weekends, but more legal users away from summer vacation.

Commuters always a problem so rising posts installed at both access points. Legal users given keys and those residents without a space knew where keys were held in case they needed a space. Worked well. In fact it was rarely that the car park had to be completely locked. Commuters got the message very quickly.

Then a construction site opened up the road during one summer vacation and the fecking builders started blocking up all the spaces keeping residents blocked in and out. Harsh words spoken by us as landlords on many occasions. It cured it for a day or two.

Anyway one day the residents decided to take a stand, and started religiously keeping the access key posts all in use.

So in retaliation someone filled all the locks with superglue and poured Christmas knows what into the space normally occupied by lowered posts. Clearly it was the flaming builders but without proof the civils cost just has to be sucked up.

Sheer vandalism nothing else. Same mentality as "you have a nice car, I don't, so will damage it so neither of us have a nice car."

So as said neanderthals are neanderthals. Try it again they will be on cctv the s.
