a bit council

Indeed. Much like the 10 year old Zafira they are cable tied to.

Here's one for you; does 'cahncil' actually have more fun?

I was at a party in the park-type thing last night, and the feral under-classes seemed to be enjoying themselves much more than the polite middle-class folk.

Obviously the large volumes of cheap lager and boxed sweet wine, the vaping, the enormous quantity of sticky sweets for the kids, the visible and rather poorly-executed tats, the awful language and high-volume swearing at their badly-behaved children marked 'them' out, but - you know what - they were having fun and laughing a lot. A lot more than everyone else. I know with whom I wanted to sit, but I may have missed out!

Vauxhalls, those bigger than a Corsa, especially Zafiras.

Usually driven by a man who has given up on life and compensates by driving like a tool.

I had one of those almost rear end me after he overtook a couple of cars in a 40 with some twisty/dippy bits on the end of it, old MK3 grey vectra, closing speed was a brace for impact moment, must have been down to a couple of inches between us, scary thing is that he was turning off at the same corner as I was

Carrier bags on push bike handle bars

Adults cycling frantically on the flat in a low gear

Bikes with no brakes

People "spitting bars"

Vomiting in public, when it's self inflicted... especially when it's on a train, and it's stopped at the station, and you leave the door open so everyone has to walk passed listening to your heaving...

Niiiiiice!

One of my colleagues at work is in his early 40's... wife, 2 kids and a mortgage with the usual accompanying responsibilities... came off his BMX a couple of months ago, he face planted, fked up his neck and suffered small bleed on his brain (he was wearing all the protective gear)

He's still off work but seems to have just added it to his list of life time injuries (pins and plates etc) from skateboarding and various cycling (road, mountain and BMX) fk ups over the years

I think he needs to grow up a bit but then what business is it of mine

Reminds me of a city gent some years ago who, in his bowler hat and carrying his rolled umbrella, walked along the platform of a London tube station, opened his brief case and vomited into it. He then closed it up continuing with unbroken stride. Now that is a gentleman!

If you think it is just the UK, then think again. I was waiting my turn at the self-scan tills here at Le Mans when this "metisse" (can't use the English expression) pushed me aside and took her place at the till being vacated by another person. I told her she was out of order, that I had already waited two minutes, and that it was my turn. She said she hadn't seen me and tough luck. I just walked forward, swept her purchases onto the floor, and said that when she had picked them up she could follow me. It was at that moment I had the boyfriend's face in mine, telling me I was a racist, which I am not. I just like better behaviour. It all cooled down when "the management" arrived.

I guess I'll be ridiculed for this, but "council" behaviour is so rude, but then perhaps my response was not that PC either. Whatever, I had a feeling of satisfaction.

I'm 43 and have a BMX.

Admittedly it was a drunken late night eBay purchase of the PK Ripper that I always wanted as a kid, but now my son (4 months old, hadn't even met t'wife at the time) has a cool as f*** BMX waiting for him in the garage. I call if forward planning!

Always having a sign with puppies for sale. Although in reality they are 36 months old.

depends on the "puppies" she may be renting hers out?

Bragging about your Pound shop bargains, how very Council.

And always some sort of st gangsta rap blaring out; FFS; it's Solihull not feckin' Brooklyn

Still, a rather nice looking young lady with the roof peeled back on her Fiat 500 today was playing Florence + The Machine at a suitably loud volume today (Why do Fiat 500's seem only to be driven by pretty females?) That's not a complaint btw, merely an observation

Solihull "a bit council"? Must've gone downhill since I lived there. It used to be the very essence of Middle-class oneupmanship and snobbery, in fact the PH-demographic sweet-spot Id say. If Solihull is a bit council, I wonder what the PH community would make of Chelmsley Wood (also known as North Solihull - except by old Solihull-ites who refuse to acknowledge its official link to Solihull and view it like you might regard a giant tumour growing out of your face)?

I was referring to the roads in and around Solihull town centre, where the Sheldon and Chemsley Wood lot sometime drift into (see below) not say, Knowle High Street, which is the antithesis of "Council"

Much truth in that post.

Why does this bks get trotted out all the time?

My ex-boss was loaded. Sold the company I worked for to a bigger company for about £75m. He's got an Aston, a FFRR, a Phantom, a Ducati and a couple of classics tucked away. He's also got a massive house, a yacht and a villa in Majorca.

I can only assume all these people driving round London in their supercars have managed to get them through motability?

In fact, I've just done a search and it's actually correct. Here's a picture of Lord Farquarharson next to his weekend car showing us how many grouse he's bagged at this mornings shoot.



4 apparently. Not bad.
