Discussion
Reverting to the old topic of first names - the other day I had to deliver something to an address that didn't exist according to maps or Googlemaps. It had a similar street name to 2 places in town, one a private estate, and one a council area. I had to take a punt.
The girl's first name was Lakisha. Guess which one I area I opted to visit? And I was right......

I didn't know there was a fish and chip shop near there, where is it, the only one I can think of is by the railway station, you didn't stalk him all the way there did you....very council Friend sent me this, from Facebook. They're referring to a long-running baby store in my nearby town that have gone into administration / liquidation, but have always been popular with the council / chav crowd.
I mean, I know baby stuff is expensive.. But £900 for a pushchair when you don't have a job??

The benefits folk too good for second hand. Probably why they get 69" televisions from Brighthouse.I mean, I know baby stuff is expensive.. But £900 for a pushchair when you don't have a job??
I also nominate eat all you can Chinese buffets.
As you describe the carvery but substitute the roast meat for equally cheap chicken, beef, noodles and rice.
However council it is I have to say I love a good carvery or Chinese buffet. I live in quite a nice place so our Toby is mainly well to do retired folks who don't do foreign food. We usually have council people arrested on leaving the carvery. Sometimes we wrap them in tartan travel rugs and dump them from the boots of M reg Rover 200s in woodland. Word gets around and they don't come back for fear of the W.I. enforcement patrols.
For some reason our carvery is often sparsely populated on an early evening during weekdays. 20 quid for a couple of meals and two beers.
Our ginger chef only has one line of conversation as he carves the overlooked meat under those burning heat lamps:
"Is it a special occasion?" I always tell him while looking like the world is about to end that it iis. I then offer no more information.

Were I a jobless council sprog juggler I would have imagined that Mylene's baby-k leopard pushchair at £80 would suffice if it had to be new.

We've raised our 3 'making do' with perfectly good handmedowns/ebay/nappyvalley/NCT nearly new sale etc. A new travel system at £900 would seem imprudent even if you're rolling in it. I apply the 1-5 smoker barge thread philosophy to all purchases these days though which I concede may not be everyone's bag and the reason why such 2nd hand bargains exist.
on another topic...
I've noticed the young council chaps seem to carry handbags these days... They all have exactly the same model in the same colour, black with white writing "NIKE"
I'm not sure if the hipster model pictured below is council or not, it would seem unfair to infer anything from his outfit since he probably didn't dress himself. The tattoos are dreadful, but may have been drawn on in biro for all I know for the purposes of the shoot. I just wanted to identify the man-bag.
What do the council chaps keep in them do you reckon?

My step-son always had those.
Rolling 'baccy'
'Skins'
Ripped up cardboard for roaches.
Hair ties. (For that essential tosspot top-knot).
About £1 in small-denomination coins.
Something that would make a police dog 'alert' to.
Beanie hat.
Mobile phone.
Either that, or it's been emptied out on a floor somewhere to 'char' something from a local shop.
(Earlier on - hands down the front of tracksuit bottoms - ugh. Too true).
Have we had fake eyebrow 'scars' yet? The kind a urban barber put in to make you look 'hard'?

Also, having no restrictions on your facebook account is council.

Saw that the other day, forgot to post up, some key points also are "mother of 8, at 39!" nice for some, most people can barely afford to have one, and the fact that victim was council for banging on the wall.Disabled woman 'leapt from her mobility scooter to attack another mother at the school gates over long-running feud'
