Usually 10%, but can be increased for parties of 8 or more...
That's just gratuitous extortion... grumpy

Controversial one here: PHers to have to list what’s in their Garage.

Can’t be just me that thinks a comment on, say, a Corvette, is more interesting when it’s from someone who used to own one. So think everyone should fill this in, without fear or favour. Plus it’s fun being nosey, admit it...

Do I believe half the stuff that people put in their garage, no.

I have had some nice cars over the years but nothing extraordinary at the moment and anyway no custard I tend not to take pics of me standing next to them. Difficult isn't it?

Mrs C in the passenger seat took a picture of me driving a Works Aston Vantage over the Humber Bridge in 1997. It's difficult to see it's me, you don't see much of the car and you wouldn't know it was the Humber Bridge. Other than that, perfect.

“I was seated at the table”
That seems to me to beg the question "by whom were you seated ?" as you are using a derivative of the verb "to seat". I suspect what you really mean is "I was sitting at the table".
Strictly speaking you are misusing 'beg the question' when you mean 'raise the question'...

One of my one laws would be no parking allowed on the public highway. All new houses would have to have at least one off road parking space per bedroom.
If you don’t have somewhere off the road to park a car then don’t buy one.

If only the authorities policed the laws they already have.

With new laws there should be a one in one out law. Want a new law? First repeal an old law.
