On an related note, anyone wearing a waxed leather hat like this in my area of Dorset/Somerset...
...might as well wear a sign saying "I've moved here from London"
I wear one of these excellent and practical hats, am Dorset born and bred and now live in Somerset. So such a sign would be incorrect. ...might as well wear a sign saying "I've moved here from London"

Pistonheads is self-evidently a bit council - it has a 'lounge' - so we're all guilty by association.
The Lounge bar, as opposed to the Mens bar for fighting, is the civilised bit of the pub containing both comfortable chairs and allowing ladies. A Council pub simply doesn't have one.Justayellowbadge said:

Sadly, that also makes the original whiff a little.
Oh no! I own a Barbour wax jacket! Does this make me council? I suppose the 20 year old BMW doesn't help. However I do own my own house... Sadly, that also makes the original whiff a little.
Wax jackets remain unaffected, happy to say.
Barbour International quilted jacket ... check
Ugg boots ... check
Fake Louis Vooey handbag ... check
Croydon Facelift ... check
Asda carrier bag ... check
My PH Council-o-meter nearly went off the scale!

PS: Of the stereo types here our biggest TV is 37" and we do have two 4x4's but they are classic Land Rovers (1960 & 1975, both MOT'd tax'd and insured).... not smokey old Shoguns.
Hey! Don't knock the Shoguns!I'm a company director and own two well maintained Shoguns, (OK one's a Pajero), so there!

I currently live in a "housing association" property (council house) with my parents (I'm 31... don't judge yet)
Parents:
2 children, my sister and me (obviously) both employed
Dad, 70 year old retired bus driver (prior to that security guard at the British museum)
Mum, 56 year old has MS, now bed bound
Hence being forced to move (by Dr's etc) from own owned home into an adapted council house (hospital bed for mum, wide doors, wheel chair access etc)
Now that's out of the way...
Having looked around the relatively modern build estate I am sadly able to confirm some of (all right ALL) of these stereo types can be found here

You and yr family are precisely the decent people social housing should be for. ( I've worked in the sector for 25 yrs and have spent 15 years on the disabled side pioneering exactly what yr mum has/ needs. )Parents:

Ie Provision of good affordable housing for those less fortunate. Not the provision of housing for fat tracksuit wearing benefit dependant riffraff to just breed within.
As a society there should be a safety net for those who need it.
Not a circus tent to contain those who make it a lifestyle choice.

lounge is OK. "front room" is not. This is a lounge, afterall...
This 'Lounge' is on the original Pan Am B747 flights to London from New York. This would be 1969/1970.
It is on the 'upper deck', the short bubble in the fuselage stretching back from the flight deck.
I worked for BOAC(!) as cabin crew and we were a little late joining the race accross the Atlantic with our own 747's.
When we did our lounges were 'sheer luxury'. Relaxa chairs, a pair of love seats, banquettes, and a bar.It was very popular with passengers, first class only of course.
I worked up there many times and it was always a pleasurable experience.
It was definately NOT council.
