A portable council flat, this is the most accurate description of 'caravanning', I just cannot understand it. They park a huge monstrosity on their drive for 50 weeks of the year then get excited to ToW a POS 350 miles to spend a week in Tenby.
Get a passport and go abroad, bloody stigs.
Couldn't have said it any better, summed up perfectly!Get a passport and go abroad, bloody stigs.

Also people who draw out all thei money on pay (giro) day
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."
My wife works for the HMRC and for a little while was doing tax credits. That my friends is a whole world of grabbing sponging people.
All doing the minimum 22 hrs a week to qualify, self employed......... proper licence to print money and cream cash out of the system.
they record all phone calls. On a training day they use a classic case of a women screaming down the phone about the fact her credits have been stopped, how will she feed her family, buy gas/electric- the usual tripe.
In the tirrade that goes on, she can clearly be heard in a shop asking for 20 cigarettes and 10 scratchcards.
Modern Britain eh ?
I can't remember tax credits when I was a kid, your parents went to work and that was that.
I am slightly bitter as we don't qualify for any such benefits !!!

"I don't get paid til Thursday"
Er, it's not payday, it's giro day. I know people like that. f
king s. I hope they enjoy it while i'm working my tits off, up at 6am, and paying a fat chunk of everything I earn to keeping a roof over their head. But that's another discussion for another thread.
White sunglasses are very council.

Getting it "all out" at the post office then going to the local "Working Men's Club" to blow it on cheap lager and snooker. Ironically, the last time I ventured into a one of those clubs, looked like the inhabitants hadn't ever seen an actual working mans payslip before.
My Post Office has recently started selling fags, lottery tickets and crappy "Real Life Stories" mags as they've worked out that's what most of the "all of it" money gets spent on.My mate owns a butty shop & he can tell when the "wages" have been paid as the local scrotes actually order bacon butties to be delivered by taxi as they are too lazy to walk down the road for them. They phone up, place the order & ask for it to be delivered. My mate phones the cab company who turn up & take it. The cab charge is often more than the cost of the food. The following week they're skint so they either don't eat bacon butties or they walk.
So, if you're wondering where the money goes when you pay your tax, it goes to people who get bacon butties delivered to them so they don't have to walk.
Now that's council.

Not just using one for sandwich deliveries, but using a taxi in general always seems council to me. (At least in modest sized provincial towns)
It's a sign you either haven't got a car, have no-one in your party with the will power to avoid drinking for the evening to be the designated driver, or are too lazy to walk home or wait for the bus.

its never referred to as dole day though, they always call it pay day. As if they have done any work for it !!
I have a friend who is a customer advisor in a high street bank. She is currently working in the Oldham branch. Dole scum are paid by bank transfer these days; when they go to the cash machine on 'pay day', and discover there is nothing, they phone the bank and kick off saying 'my wages haven't been paid in'. Every time, it is either because the DWP has made an error (on rare occasions), or more often than not, because they have been sanctioned and think that by shouting at bank staff, they will make them think it is a banking error and credit their account.Truckosaurus said:

So are you saying a taxi is less council than a bus?It's a sign you either haven't got a car, have no-one in your party with the will power to avoid drinking for the evening to be the designated driver, or are too lazy to walk home or wait for the bus.
Odd.

Or Lancashire.
Buses seem to attract some really odd people - not necessarily council, but proper nutters. Awful things buses.

Which is why I put the provincial town caveat, where it is perfectly possible to walk home from the town centre.Perhaps it is just my experience with the council wing of my own extended family swan around in cabs, where the lower middle class of us are too tight/savvy to do so.
