Microwaving broccoli?

Council-folk don't eat broccoli.

Looking at the thread pictures on general gassing, I think i'll nominate the new Honda Civic Type R! (particularly that rear end!)

But if they did they'd microwave it, or fry it.

After battering it.

Having consumed eight cans of Special Brew.

For brunch.

With no starter.

Despicable.

I witnessed a pretty impressive council "scene". Gang of lads swilling lager and smoking roll ups outside Wetherspoons at 2.30pm on a Tuesday. One of them sat aside a motorcross bike, trackie bottoms, no top, tattoos, skin like a plucked chicken, fires up the bike and hammers it off the pavement, across the road and wheelies down a side street with no helmet on.

If only the pub had a flat roof I could have got a full house on the council-o-meter.

I was overtaken by a Lumma CLRR range rover like this last night. Cost will be well over £100k but still as about as council as a front garden with a stted mattress in it.

Virtually all the things that were the preserve of middle classes, ie, fancy car, 80 inch TV, Burberry clothing, flash watches, drinking in pubs etc............The bloody welfare ie us, must pay them three grand a week at least ?!

Surely 80 inch TV's have council from the start. Can't remember which comedian it was reckoned that the way to tell if you're middle class or working class is whether your bookcase or TV is bigger

I have a massively council TV but a much bigger bookcase so suppose I am OK

Just got back from a week in Spain. On the outbound flight the pwoppa cockney geezer sat next to me was wearing grey marl joggers, white Adidas trainers and a polo shirt. The look said 'council' (TBH he was a bit council, although very entertaining) but I couldn't a) help but think of this thread and b) think he was probably the most comfortable bloke on the plane, whereas the rest of the passengers aboard the Easyjet* to Murcia were dressed up in their Sunday best like some bygone age.

Yeah, I know, Easyjet, council

You live in Berks and go for a week in Spain on easy jet ?

I think the main problem there is 'benidorm'.

I use my parents holiday home in Gran Alicante every year or two. Few friends and I drove there for a day in July/August and it really was appalling. Makes you rather ashamed to be british going through these places, sadly.
