Not exclusively Council, but seems to be more prevalent on estates, is letting your dog take a dump on the pavement / grass verge and not clear up the poo.
Yeah, the lower orders just let the Staff dump with abandon, I saw a hooded chap with one, not on a lead (him or the woof) and outside some 2 up 2 downs that have their front door open onto the pavement he let it park its breakfast on someone's step.The middle classes aren't much better, we have a "Bag o' s
te" tree where they festoon a tree in bagged canine offerings, not sure why that is better than just leaving it to biodegrade or be carried away on pram wheels ? why bag it up and then leave it anyway, sometimes there are like thirty odd bags of dog st, some even throw them in the garden of the house on the way out, now that would mean war for me.soad said:

Still quoting...'lubbly jubbly'
Or even "lovely jubbly".It's a jocular exclamation. It means excellent, brilliant, great. It's the sort of thing you'd say when you got some good news or had a stroke of luck, 'ah, lovely jubbly'.
Well, would you use it? It depends whether you're influenced by television, I suppose, more than anything else. It's one of the slang phrases that was used by Dell Boy in the television series 'Only Fools and Horses', back in the 1990s. It actually goes back longer than that. These script writers are well aware of some of the earlier usages of phrases like this. In fact, you can take it right back to the 1950s, when there was an ice lolly called a jubbly, and there was an advertising catch phrase, 'lovely jubbly', and the Dell usage, I suppose, has come from that.
It later moved into London slang, mainly, I've heard it elsewhere but mainly in London, for anything that was excellent. I've heard it with reference to food - very tasty food is lovely jubbly food. Lovely jubbly antiques, there are - beautiful antiques, lovely jubbly people. And I guess these programmes are lovely jubbly programmes!

Perhaps it is because of my Peckham upbringing that the misunderstanding arises.
Verdict: I would suggest an honourable draw.

Calypso was the name of the jubblies.
Once all the juice was sucked out of them, the lump of ice was generally chucked at a kid in a lower year.
Kids were horrible in the '70s too.
Very famous school at the moment as well courtesy of an ex-weatherman.
My first house was an ex-cahncil ahhs.. 2 doors away lived a cahncil slag with her various offspring in what we liked to call 'the crack den'. Once, we had a package delivered when we weren't in so the posty left it with her-when I went to pick it up I could not believe my eyes when she opened the door and I caught a glimpse of the inside of the crack den. No carpet, or any floor covering (other than rubbish), broken banisters, plaster off the walls exposing brick and a 'curtain' made of some old bit of material sellotaped to the window frame.
It was a fking disgrace, made worse for me as I worked hard to pay 250k for mine-she was given hers a couldn't have cared less about it.
God I was glad to move away from that road.
Anyway back on thread, things that are a bit cahncil-bonfires virtually every day burning fk knows what! Certainly not garden waste cos she never cut the grass/weeds

I really dont get the living in st mentality, a mate of mine has a sister like that, her house is disgusting, she claims everything under the sun and doesn't work, yet never does any cleaning and the kids are always late for school, that is if they turn up.
Even if living hand to mouth, it is easy to keep a decent house, you just have to want to, as it is a lot seem to just revolve around telly, sex, alcohol and drugs, no need to live in a st tip.
