Using those cash machines in a shop that charge 2.50

Always seems to be chavs using em, guess they are too lazy to walk to a nearby non fee machine or plan ahead


Also people who draw out all thei money on pay (giro) day

Ultra high U.V protection glass in the front door is always a good sign

A sheet of hardboard nailed over the broken glass in the front door, where a bailiff/debt collector/drug dealer/domestic argument has resulted in it getting smashed and then not repaired for at least six months

Ah sorry, the photo was so small I could not really work it out.

Ugh, I'm getting diabetes just reading that stuff. I truly hate this tripe.

No, sorry. The vw van or dub scene isn't council.

I'm sorry, but the VW scene is as council as you can get. Full of ste bling, stolen wheels, and that rat look bks is just the worst.
You'll probably defend the scene because some of the better mods are "tasteful". However, these cars are the equivalent of the extended ex council semi with the fish tank for a wall, pop up tellies in the end of the bed, and a hot tub prominently displayed in the back garden. It might have cost a lot to put together, but classy it is not.

rat look hasnt been popular for 27 years.

To add some balance, let's try 'a bit middle class':

Pretentious tasting of the restaurant's second-cheapest wine

Washing the car every Sunday

Contesting a Council Tax banding because you think your pile is worth more

Being a member of a Residents' Association

Using a leaf blower

Braying laughter in public

Having a double-barreled surname

Having an electric golf trolley

Knowing what a 'gymkhana' is

Not realising some people have a chip on their shoulder

I'm sure there must be more

Thanks for that FB - I wouldn't have thought of searching for that title!

Interesting that both threads have run for the same length of time, yet one has 10x the number of posts - but best not to jump to conclusions.

I suppose it had to happen.
Posts from PH members who positively beg to be council, and give many examples of why they are proud to be of council persuasion
Reminds me of Aussies who suddenly were ecstatic about being the descendents of transported colonial prisoners.

Trying to communicate but failing to actually make any comprihensible point... Is very council in my experience.

Welcome to council central. Posting a thinly veiled put-down with poor grammar and sloppy spelling is the very epicentre of said social class.

Ah, thanks mate! If you could elaborate on where I went wrong I'm always keen to learn. Truth told I was starting to feel a bit left out after Austin said I didn't qualify. Good to know I can still make the cut with my terrible language skills and generally menacing demeanour.

And thanks for clarifying the original point you wanted to make. Crystal clear now. Is that thin enough?

Commonly known as an "all-of-it" card.

As in:-

"Are my benefits in my account yet Mr Postmaster?"

"Why yes they are Miss."

"Good, I'll have all of it then."

Had a cracker tonight. On the way back from the kids parents evening we popped into the chip shop for something to eat.

Whilst waiting a woman comes in, big fat mess, Croydon facelift, that horrible sportswear they all seem to like and with the best liz duke gold everywhere and orders several items plus a diet coke (bit late for that). She is accompanied by a feral child of about 6 (it's about 8.30pm) who is running about shouting and she keep screaming at him to shut up. Another child of about 11 with a hooligan haircut (shaved sides) and an ear ring. Asking each child what they want and then scrabbling around for small change to pay.
Took the food out to the badly parked 10yo Golf which was driven off with the kids bouncing around unsecured.

That, my friends is a full (council)house.

Don't worry buddy, you're no more council than the day you bought it.
