There's nothing tackier than Superdry. It's evening wear for people who spend their days in Lonsdale.

Worse still, people who believe Superdry is a Japanese brand.

So a bus is less council than a cab? I guess you don't live in London, mate.

Calling people "Mate".

My father , when called "mate" by anyone, but especially anyone aged under 12 years old, would respond with "I'm sorry, have we been introduced?".

All parents get a bit embarrassing as they get older. Don't worry about it.

Wiltshire wasn't it if I recall?

You are right. But it (sort of) is.

"Super Dry" is a Japanese beer made by Asahi.

The English founders of the Superdry clothing brand allegedly liked it and used that as the basis.

They apparently aren't allowed to sell clothes in Japan as they would be infringing Asahi's trademark.

Like Hyundai i10s replacing old Ford Sierras, I had always though that Superdry had been part of a government scrappage scheme for old Von Dutch clothing.

Whatever happened to Hacket clothing; a few years ago every chav who wanted to be as chav/council as possible, wore Hacket polo shirts?

The one currently dying a well-deserved death seems to be Hollister. There are a few stragglers around town but it's mostly disappearing, like Chelsea shirts in Berkshire when Man City win the league.

...spend a week in Tenby.

No. No. Please don't tell me Tenby is now council.

We used to go there every year for family holidays back in the '70s

My mate owns a butty shop & he can tell when the "wages" have been paid as the local scrotes actually order bacon butties to be delivered by taxi as they are too lazy to walk down the road for them. They phone up, place the order & ask for it to be delivered. My mate phones the cab company who turn up & take it. The cab charge is often more than the cost of the food. The following week they're skint so they either don't eat bacon butties or they walk.

So, if you're wondering where the money goes when you pay your tax, it goes to people who get bacon butties delivered to them so they don't have to walk.

Now that's council.

What a life though. Fresh bacon sandwiches delivered to your door.

10 out of fking 10.

I think that disastrous is doing what I did a few pages back, listing a load of nonsense words, as this is what this thread is developing into.

Cheltenham. Started off on a market stall, then opened Cult Clothing. The rest is history.

Correct, but making a song out of it is quite a good idea...but singing is council, sadly.

What I see sometimes on the weekend if I do the breakfast run to McDonalds, is; a taxi in the "drive thru" queue infront, driver pulls past pay window so that the rear passenger window is level, out stretches a dressing gown/"onesie" clad bingo wing to pay, then off they ride into the sunset, back to their care free morning.

I suppose it had to happen.
Posts from PH members who positively beg to be council, and give many examples of why they are proud to be of council persuasion
Reminds me of Aussies who suddenly were ecstatic about being the descendents of transported colonial prisoners.

Trying to communicate but failing to actually make any comprihensible point... Is very council in my experience.

Welcome to council central. Posting a thinly veiled put-down with poor grammar and sloppy spelling is the very epicentre of said social class.

Ah, thanks mate! If you could elaborate on where I went wrong I'm always keen to learn. Truth told I was starting to feel a bit left out after Austin said I didn't qualify. Good to know I can still make the cut with my terrible language skills and generally menacing demeanour.

And thanks for clarifying the original point you wanted to make. Crystal clear now. Is that thin enough?

Exellent post.
