a bit council

Bending down. Dynamic risk assessment. No hat needed?

For us - any site work / surveying = helmet

A few years ago, I overheard the most bizarre argument between to fat council house woman. The one insisted she was better than the other because she said that her rented house was 'Housing Association', and not 'Scummy Council'!

How council is that!

I've heard those arguments too, crazy isn't it?

Working in the highway = no hat. If it falls off while crossing a road the operative turns back to get it without thinking, they get squished.

Crematoriums. Extra council points awarded if referred to as "the Crem."

Surely these are handy for seeing off council types, whilst retaining more desireable burial plots for mill owners.

[CorbynFTW]

Agree on 'the crem'.


Unless you use the term so frequently that shortening it is worthwhile, probably due to all your promising footballer mates...

[505diff]

Black bags under your bark chippings in the front garden to stop the weeds

Cutting your undergrowth and slinging it over the fence on that bit of land no body 'owns'

Taking a short cut off a Tarmac footpath to save about 3 seconds of time but having to walk through mud and crap to do it

500w security light rusted, with washing line attached and pegs left on it at all times, the other end of the line tied to a lampost.

Totally council

My father in law died a few weeks back and was actually the son of a Mill owner who married the daughter of a Mill owner, he went to public school and was successful in his own right, he was cremated and was not at all council, just seems to be the way thing are going, there isnt enough room on this small, crowded island to waste on dead people.

My wife did refer to it as "The Crem", which makes me cringe, not as it sounds council to me but it sounds a bit like a term undertakers and other death industry insiders would use.

Smoking while chomping, open-mouthed on gum.

Static caravans with band courses and decking.

Don't know if this one has been done but, people who listen to Heart FM and more so people that ring in to those competitions, thinking they have one £10 million pounds by getting through on the phone, only to be put in a draw if they can answer a qualifying question, which they can't as it's too hard, like what day of the week comes after Monday or who is Primeminister, the phone call has cost them £90 of credit on Tesco mobile....



Council, totally

People who incorrectly use the plural of nouns ending in um: stadium, forum, crematorium, addendum etc.

Royal event souvenir plates of any kind, anywhere.

Ditto anything being sold on the pages of a TV listings magazine. Dolls, plates, mugs, football team watches, John Wayne memorabilia, ethnic tribal face plaques, very sort of tat under the sun. All on easy terms.

[Studio117]

Train tickets

If i can't use my credit card or apple pay on your antiquated transportation payment system then I'm inclined to find alternative arrangements.
