Pubs with flat roofs.

True, but I haven't seen one for a long time!

Loads in Glasgow
Also with no/few windows

Yip
Usually if I can't see in it means - dont go in!

I had a cracking night with an uncle in a flat roof pub in Shawhead years ago. Last time I went up to Scotland it wasn't there anymore

[RobinBanks]

Do you think there's any money in producing a 'flat roof pubs of the UK' calendar?

Shots taken at dawn for the shimmering effect on the sea of glass in the car park.

Extra points when there's police tape and cordons in the car park.

Mondeo in dark metallic green, cracked rear bumper fixed with gaffer tape - parked on pavement outside the council house.

Yes, but can't be too many left now (unless you meant later shape model).

[Avidfanofstuff]

Drinking fizzy drinks straight out of a 2 Ltr bottle.
Parking with your wheels on full lock because you think it looks cool.

[Cyder]

Do people really do that last one unless they're parked on a hill?

I wonder if they'll ever hold the same wow factor as a jellymould Sierra does now?

I think an E36 BMW is de rigueur for the full council. A maroon 318i with a handful of 'upgrades', such as M3 mirrors and 'racing exhaust'.

Good to see you're up and about Mark. The E36 is the connoisseurs choice these days. The base E46 is Council and higher-spec' E46's Council but making enough money selling drugs and E46 diesels are Poluanians who have insurance for a trabbant back home if you're lucky. All with after market HiD's, DRL's and blacked out rear windows.

I quite like that. Don't care if I'm council for it.

I don't get to see inside "council" much - I deliver things so just get to pick my way through the dog mess and fag butts on the path. But do they still have a selection of ornaments on the shelf above the fireplace?

I'm thinking those faux-Chinese fishermen (the pole is always missing), and fake Delft plates, plus all the souvenirs brought back by family from holidays in the sun. Dusty and faded model of a flamenco dancer, mini castenets, ashtray with "Benidorm" transfer, maybe a mini Eifel Tower from the kid's school trip to Paris. Shows they're cosmopolitan and "cerfisticated".

Don't sweat it mate, they are out there.

I would also like to add dark blue mondeo with unpainted, replaced body panel(s), odd, spare wheel used on one corner with no plastic cover (probably black), one rear tail-light out. Black smoke from 'zaust which is hanging from thread.

Front right wing is filled and left un-sanded.

Nah, I think you're talking about "old" people rather than "council" - council people have letters from debt collection agencies, Wonga application forms and full ashtrays on the shelf above the fireplace.

Council kids don't get to go on the school trip and the only souvenirs that ever get brought back from when council folk go on trips abroad are 2000 Lambert & Butler, sunburn & an STD / unwanted pregnancy. And maybe a Moroccan husband.
