Modern Pentathlon.
("Council" could have their own version - fencing replaced by knife fighting, swimming replaced by drunken belly-flop, showjumping replaced by riding the kid's BMX through the neighbours' gardens, running and shooting replaced by....er....running and shooting shooting and running (away) , whilst wearing a grey trackie suit and carrying a neighbour's X-Box.)

simple one.
Books.
You don't ever go into council homes and see bookcases, collections of books etc.
maybe a wall of VHS cassettes or DVD's, or PS games: but no to books.
In fact you don't ever see a child's desk/or table set aside for homework etc.
Now I wonder if there are any connections to be made here about societies impending slip downwards.

Its all b
ks of course, I know people who are in that world and I reckon they end up doing stuff they hate because they feel they should be doing it.
Boarding school - have kids, they get to six, send them away ?
Sailing - Sure its great if you really like it but so many seem to do it as they feel they should be seen to.
Horses - colossal pain in the arse and expense, horsey people will have them whatever, I think some get them as they think it fits with the image.
Worthy holidays - cant go anywhere touristy, has to involve walking.
A lot of pursuits that people say they enjoy, I think secretly then enjoyment is actually the transition from doing it, to it being over, that is the enjoyable bit.
The thing is, the Councilista doesn't feel the need to go through the motions, they just go for the gratification, go to Benidorm, get drunk, eat st, shag, get drunk, sleep it off on the beach, they dont pretend to themselves that they need to watch bks like Ballet or the Opera, they go and see WWE or Monster Trucks.
they dont feel the need for everything to be tasteful, far from it, if they like it, it gets plonked in the house, the gas fire works well, why fk about with a bloody log burner.
All classes like to get drunk, whether it be a fine old Port, or Frosty Jacks, that is universal, but dont pretend its a worthy pursuit because you paid £30 plus for a bottle of wine and shared it with people called Giles and Clarissa.
Ugg and trainers boots are comfier than Brown Brogues, a pink shirt, jeans and a blazer dont make you posh, even if the jeans are red, it just makes you look a tt/Tim Nice but Dim, and that silly posh boy "arent I a bit wacky and posh" mad hair, get a haircut.
This thing about old Volvos is bks as well, you dont cruise round with people assuming you are lord of the manor, they just think, well nothing, totally blends in, if asked for an opinion they will just say its because you cant afford something newer.
My thinking is, do things you enjoy, but that arent anti social or upset anyone else, dont do stuff you dont want to do because you feel you should, do stuff you want to do, be pleasant, have manners and leave things as you found them.
