Agreed. Nothing says R.I.P. quite like a £3 bunch of Asda flowers sellotaped to a lamp post
Add in coming back every year to replace them, but they die and rot while attached to the tree, so putting a photo up of the deceased as well.https://goo.gl/maps/KCs9x
It's not like most of these are done at dangerous corners where there might be a cause for saying it's a warning to others. This chap was in a 30 limit and hit a tree so hard it ripped his car into two pieces.
Edit: Oh and if you pan right, the ones on the lamp post on the other side are for another car going way over the limit and driving up the side of the house coming to rest on it's side. Wedged between house and bollard.

Where do 'parlour' and 'drawing room' fit into this I wonder?
Do you not mean 'front room', lad?Not sure what it is with the poor Staff, they are lovely dogs but they do end up owned by the lower end of society, almost every family on "Benefits Britain" have one, usually two, sometimes more, I dont think the tv company bring them in specially so they must actually own them.
Like I said, lovely dogs, great with kids, very loyal but not sure I would have one with very small kids, in a tiny house when I have no money.
A lot will be really loved and well looked after but something must be wrong, go to any dogs home and it is full of Staffs or Staff crosses, they must be either letting them breed because they get out and arent speyed or getting bored and putting them in the dogs home, then you get the middle classes wanting to rehome a dog and they pass over all the Staffs as they see them as being a "chav dog" which is unfair to such a wonderful breed.
Also, some dont train or manage them well, Staffs can be dog aggressive and if this isnt trained out it can be a real problem, so many case of old ladies small dogs getting killed, usually by a Staff off its lead in a public place, ours got attacked by one, didnt get him but it was being walked by a woman who couldn't control it, they are fairly compact but so strong, I ended up with its lead wrapped round my leg as it tried to get mine, not sure what you can do when a Staff gets hold of something, they dont have lockable jaws, no such thing but they do have hugely powerful jaw muscles that make it seem that way. If I see young lads with a Staff, I do tend to give them a wide birth if I have ours with me.
I actually meant Staffordshire pottery dogs - a matching pair, which used to fetch big money in the antiques world if they were the real thing, but they're out of fashion now.
But I agree 100% about Staffordshire Terriers - they are lovely dogs and very misunderstood. I think the reason why "council" get them is because they look a bit like a pit-bull terrier, so they have the correct connotations, but don't actually need to be trained to fight. It's all part of the "look". Poor little buggers are never trained properly, often don't get enough exercise ("council" don't get off their arses too often) and I'm sure a lot of them don't get an adequate diet -just chips or pizza thrown at them from the settee. It's a crying shame as so many of them would make great family pets. It'll be generations before the stigma goes away.

Buying Scratchcards
Nuff said!
I don't think that buying scratchcards per se is council. I observe 'all types' of people ahead of me in the queue purchasing these items.Nuff said!
What I was highlighting, and thus entering the realms of council, was the sense of desperation of the purchaser where on receipt of said cards, immediately checking to see if it is a winner. It is almost looked upon as some kind of 'income' that will sustain until the next time.
Of course, we all know the odds against winning, and if we do it is usually only your stake back.
On the Motorway, 12 year old green Jag X type saunters past me in the outside lane then cuts me up to make their junction. Their inclusion on this thread? Not only a baby onesie (someone will have to tell me their proper name...) sign on one side, but another on the opposite side in the style of the baby onboard signs, but "Grandchild Keilsa (personalised and in Italics) onboard"
The normal signs are bad enough!
