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!

The upper class and lower class know how to have fun.
It is the leased, new build, "shoes off please" lot who (think they) are in the middle who have a stick up their bums.

That description of person is not even approaching middle class. They are working, working class. The upper class and lower class know how to have fun.

It really is textbook as I've found those in the middle to constantly have sticks up their arses.

Council have the "you can't take it with you" attitude. So no stress of being seen to fail, or don't feel the need to leave anything for their children and grandchildren when their time is up.The upper class and lower class know how to have fun.

I remember studying Maslow's hierarchy of needs (or law) and it seemed to favour those with less ambition.

They do the roast beef and mustard ones too, 5 packs for a quid.
Possibly my favorite ever crisp and I haven't seen them in normal shops for ages.

Went to view a 1950's semi-detached house recently in quite a nice little village. Surprisingly there must have been some sort of local Housing Association allowance in that area though I would imagine. Either that or lower-end cansill.
Walked up to the house & 3 kids kicked a football right across the front of the garden of the house we were viewing. Superb first impression. Massive England flag in next door's lawn & a red, white & blue painted garden fence. Lots of run-down cars parked up nearby.
The house itself had "bouncy" cheap laminate flooring upstairs. Perhaps laid directly over carpet? Door fell off kitchen cabinet when estate agent showed us the kitchen, which also had fake beams. Downstairs loo had no sink, so take a dump & walk through to the back of the house to wash your hands in the kitchen sink?
Huge flatscreens in several smallish rooms upstairs.
I showered thoroughly when I got home.
Later on, once I'd given a synopsis to the estate agent over the phone, they didn't even ask for an estimated value. The oddest thing is that during the day the house (a 3 bed semi at £320k) had 3 offers

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)?t 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

Listen, I'm far from perfect, but the following spring to mind:
Drinking alcohol in the street when not in very close proximity to a pub.
Blue Vauxhall Zafiras.
Mckenzie/Lonsdale clothing.
Visible Tattoos, well okay not all, I s'pose I mean the almost identical ones people get in almost identical places because it's "individual"
People scratching scratch cards in the doorway off the shop they've just purchased them from.
Stickers in house windows.
Focus ST's/Astra VXR's. I like them, but everyone I seem to see is being ragged round by a mouth breather.
Dirty, scruffy kids with no manners.
Not taking care of the appearance of their/the councils house.
Having private conversations, publically.
Treating a mobile phone as a status symbol.
Treating a betting shop as a legitimate leisure activity.
Fitting the whitest/cheapest tyres to their car, so that they have money to put stty stickers on it or fake DRL's

Great for shampoo and shower gels as well, I love pound shops, I miss the convenience of them here for 2 weeks of the month.

Oh so council! "pound land" is where they took your car when it was confiscated for no tax, MOT or insurance, but "Poundland" is where you buy all council provisions I am led to believe.I say dear boy, get a grip

Oh so council! Knows where "pound land" is, which is where they took his car when it was confiscated for no tax, MOT or insurance, but doesn't know how to spell "Poundland". I say dear boy, get a grip
but why would I ever have had a car impounded? I may well be council,I also buy work clothes from sports direct,clearance section Why do all council estates have an abandoned pushchair/buggy somewhere on one of the grassy common areas? The problem is usually a missing wheel, but sometimes there seems to be nothing wrong with them.
Possibly excess faecal matter in the sitting area? Or did the 14-year old mum simply forget where she left it whilst she was glued to her mobile screen?
They look so forlorn, just waiting for the council tipper truck to collect them.
