The local council had a fit when someone painted their Tudor house bright pink in the local conservation area and threatened all sorts of legal action.

A local historian then pointed out that the Tudor buildings were often highly coloured and the cream / wood was a Victorian idea. The council had also built a main road through the area and built horrible retirement flats that look like a prison.

Sometimes councils are often of the “do as I say, not what I do” mentality!
