less popular these days, but stone or mortar cladding, usually of your bought council house, to signify you are now not council. (aka Jack Duckworth style)

equally, faux shutters either side of your UPVC windows and also unusually, mounting wagon wheels not only to your property, but on the elevations of your house.

The types who play up every supposed disability to get preferential treatment '....because I f***king deserve it.'

Like the man who turned in to an NHS clinic ahead of me today in his mobility scooter, parked it in a corridor where it got in everybody's way, hopped out of it, and then beat me upstairs to the consulting room. Then tried to beat me from the waiting area to the consulting room when my name was called ....his face radiated resentment.

Fresh proper french baguette dipped in strong black coffee is cloud9, as are croissants, and not at all council.

Probably been posted but:

B&M shop
Asda

Both these shops are on a complex near my work and some of the creatures these places bring out of hiding is unreal.

Just where did they shop before?
You work in Bristol at Abbey Wood don't you?

Sunderland.

The only place I've heard a Vicky Pollard lookalike shouting for one of her offspring called "Shakira"

Nearly coughed a lung.

If she'd shouted "Shakira, Shakira!" you could have sung "The hips don't lie".

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.
It's a Balby facelift in Doncaster.

People who speak loudly in queues.

I always associate that with classless people.

Absolutely. Along with people who start a sentence with 'So'. Perhaps not council, but certainly irritating.

Whilst on the phone.

A few years ago on the train some girl was discussing her personal life rather loudly when on the phone, a passenger told her to keep her personal life to herself; he was met with a round of applause by the rest of the carriage.

Anyway; I was just served by "Raychel" in Sainsbury's.

While being processed in a Tesco branch once, I noticed that all the cashiers had name badges with first name and 'cashier' on them: "Sue Cashier" etc. I remarked to my cashier that I was surprised that all the till staff seemed to be related. Blank look doesn't even come close...

She'd probably never heard it before.

I used to work in Sainbury's as a student, I loved the people who; when you held up their twenties to the light to see if it was real, would say "ha ha ha ha, I printed it this morning, is it still wet, ha ha ha ha!" Never heard it that often; not!!

What do you say when you are at an ASDA checkout when there's a bit of a dog on the till, and you espy the instruction on the carrier dispenser: "PULL A BAG HERE"?

You would have loved me then biting into the pound coins you gave me after youve checked my money smile

Having fewer than 3 pairs of Goodyear Welted shoes to wear in rotation.

Not using shoe trees in the resting pairs.

Hang your head in shame if this is you.
