a bit council

[Benni]

My sister used to soak full grain bread in vinegar and then put corned Beef on it,

no she was not pregnant at that time.

Glass dining tables, wicker type wood flooring, plastic front doors.

As in food for dogs or food made from dogs? My money's on the latter.

[Vaud]

There is a balance in some of these between "hard work, working class background" and "a bit council".

The former can involve some odd things but not automatically "council"?

Would it be acceptable to smoke a pipe while wearing tracksuit bottoms and a t-shirt?

Only if paired with a denim jacket and black slip on shoes.

Just had a Rustlers King Rib for lunch , whilst wearing a pair of jogging bottoms.

Am I in ?

The fact you're from dumfries meant you were in before even got dressed or ate that

At what age does smoking a pipe (not crack) become acceptable?

For some reason, I've got the urge to get a pipe so when my son asks me a question, I can get out my pipe and ponder while I puff away while gazing into the distance before answering him.

Would it be acceptable to smoke a pipe while wearing tracksuit bottoms and a t-shirt?

I can't wait until I am old enough to smoke a pipe, just so i can use it in conversations to enforce the point I am making by pointing it at people

Must be the latter 'cos no self-respecting dog would eat the stuff.

Unless it's what our American friends call corned beef: salt beef.... mmmmmm

I heard "council facelift" the other day relating to hair pulled back really tight in a pony tail.

Is this a common term?

Normally known as a 'Croydon Facelift' I think.

Hmm, go try a tin of "Chappie" and then try Corned Beef !

I think Corned Beef is actually rather nice, particularly when paired with Piccalilli or Branston.

I have personally never considered it "Council", as its actually fairly expensive, in the col meats counter, Council is covered adequately by that Wafer Thin Ham, "Fridge Raiders", Anything from Bernard Matthews and that Chicken they have bred with a vein of stuffing in it.

Corned Beef is an age old institution and I think fairly classless.

it was however known in our family known as "Corned Dog".

Corned beef and brown sauce sandwiches with white bread and butter.

[geeks]

What about Corn Beef Hash? Particularly nice with Crusty Bread and a Fried Egg

[CoolC]

Corned Beef Hash.

That take me back to my student days

Made with Smash rather than potatoes for full on "council"

I love crisp sandwiches, are they council?

Yes, along with the ketchup sarnies.

What about sugar sandwich?
