Cheap Porsche boxters.
The only person I know who has one is my younger sister. She is the least council person one could wish to meet. Works as a project manager for an ecommerce company and lives in a 16th century cottage. So totally council.
At this point I should extract the urine regarding your spelling and make a spelling mistake smile

At 5v and 1A, it would take 200 hours of charging an iPhone to use 1 kWh of electricity (roughly 10p's worth). I agree that there is nothing wrong with charging your phone at work etc, but to deliberately avoid doing so at home, as some are suggesting, is just fking miserly.

Walking around town with no top on.

I understand it's hot but that kind of behavior should be reserved for one's home, the beach or the council estate.
People with tattoos love the hot weather. Top off, or sleveless vest etc. They think they are the DB's, but all other citizens are thinking ****.

Just re a post further back : I've witnessed parents teaching true children how to swear and being proud.

Anyway: we did this perhaps 100 pages back but quad bikes

Now tis the weather for the helmet free, shirtless or vest adorned to be travelling in packs of 10-20 , whipping in and out of traffic , popping wheelies et al.

Of course when Kyle Zak Jayden Logan Mckenzie or Ahmed kills himself, he'll turn out to be a yoof with a bright future , was looking forward to getting an "f" in GCSE tracksuit wearing and general thuggery and leaves a daughter called chanterelle bobbie sharmarley behind.

Then queue the roadside shrine of dead flowers.

''Tuned' diesels, usually owned by some sad fk named Barry who quotes the extra mpg and power figures everytime you speak to them. Bore off council scum.

The idea of it not happening is just bizarre. I would find it 'council' of an employer who prevented it.
I think the original post on that topic was more to do with people who deliberately don't charge their phones etc at home and take them to work every day to charge them.
Not everyone works at a desk anyway.

Council or not is purely down to the attitude involved. Making the assumption and taking something which doesn't belong to you without asking is just bad manners at the very least, no matter what the monetary value. Aside from all the fun nonsense stuff in this thread, modern erosion of common decency is the essence of Council in my eyes.

Even borrowing a bit of charge I don't have a problem with, because my understanding of 'borrow' means you ask. As others have highlighted it's the attitude associated with just taking stuff which makes it council.

Couldn't agree more - sometimes our guys will go above and beyond themselves for the benefit of the company (and their bonus) so I'm pretty happy to let them charge their phones at their desks each day - especially if it's run off the USB from the laptop/PC, surely that doesn't even use extra leccy?
Pretty happy to let them charge their 'phones ? I am slightly staggered that i) anyone would even think twice about doing so ii) anyone would even notice if they did and only be 'pretty' happy, rather than not giving a hoot.

Agree that cleaners turning up / people plugging in in the pub is of the people.

Ha ha, I saw one of these shirtless quadbike yoofs stuck in traffic (obviously) in Reading tonight.

Never understood the appeal of the urban quad bike. All of the weather-related drawbacks of a proper motorbike and none of the advantages to cut through gaps. Council in the extreme.

I spent many years working in a city centre. Honestly the Asian lads used to literally hunt in packs around the city centre. They'd spend hours lapping the city. Quite often in full face balaclavas. Very intimidating. At least theirs tend to be brand new and serious bits of kit. The white lads however seem to run around on stuff that looks stolen and fit for the scrap yard. I just don't get it one bit.

Apols for poor spelling and grammar on posts, typing on a mobile !

Anyway perhaps I'm jealous that whilst I can ride a motorbike and have a licence, my ability to pop shirtless wheelies is simply zero.

Baby scans plastered all over social media.

Takeaways 3 or more times per week.

Probably all ready mentioned

And it bugs me to say this but...

The St Georges flag and the Union Jack

both cry out Council to me, particularly when hung in a house window or even worse, on a flag pole outside the house. I associate both with a bit of council / chav

I had a conversation with a woman I worked with about this last year.

We are both in our 40s. She said being I your 40s with living grandparents, unless they are in their late 90s is very lower class.....or very high class.

Council and County sometimes are not that far apart.

Union flag, on a flagpole, that's not council at all. An England flag, perhaps with an Umbro logo on it, hung from a fishing pole that has been cable tied to a wheely bin. That's council.
Agreed, I see lots of very nice houses with a flag and pole outside, I imagine the owner to be a retired Major or something similar.

I agree with that, the setting is the key. It all depends on the house / area.

But still, I have a nano second thought of council when I see the flag, its been (unwittingly) hijacked by council types.
