Is council. Did I mention a company car Vauxhall ?


Council.

Anyone living in a house or flat built this century..

That includes riverside new money flats in London too.

Is that, this century ie since 2000 or since 1900? Or in the last 100 years ?

walking whilst eating/drinking - bonus points if holding a Greggs bag and the drink is Special Brew

Doubly so, if walking into shops while still eating your pasty.

The guy who came for an interview a few weeks back at work; sauntered in, shirt untucked, no tie, long hair slicked back, swigging from a can of Red Bull.

Council would not wash their own car. Why would they it's probably mobility anyway, sweets, pop, sh!t and god knows what else mashed into the seats. Asda dents everywhere and each corner scuffed. I think washing your own car is a more middle class preserve.

I did wonder, he was also quite frank about his previous jobs and the reasons as to his sacking.

Just remembered; also had an older guy saunter in a year or so back; looked a right mess, he asked if we had any jobs going, upon us saying that we hadn't, he asked us to sign a form for him; it was from the job centre to prove that he was looking and he even said that he wasn't interested in getting a job and he was only going through the motions, we told him to get out and didn't sign his form.

My old Boss used to call the terrestrial TV channels (1-5) "Council telly".

This always confused me, as I'm pretty sure most council houses will have some kind of Sky package in order to get the most use out of their 50 inch plasma and day time viewing.

Council House estates were prime hunting grounds for NYNEX sales reps (aka Virgin Media) when they first opened in the UK 25 years ago. Their ideal customers were unemployed people who stayed at home all day.

There were no credit checks back in the day when it was NYNEX - absolutely none and there was also no money upfront. After 3 months of not paying it was switched off then they phoned up with a different name and it started again. The cables always got laid in council areas first as the take-up was so high (80%+ in some areas).

My old man (now retired) had a few 'Tanning Salons' when they were really starting to boom about 10-15 years ago. Whenever he was looking for a new premises his prime concern was how close it was to the local council estate and how big the estate was.

He wanted it to be in walking distance from the estates - every shop he opened made a fortune.

Smoking has already been mentioned, but can I raise the bar ....

Buying in packs of ten

Buying Richmond or Lambert & Butler

Discarding empty packets on the ground for someone else to clear up

Council wker Scum

[nicanary]

Saw a house last night with about 20/30 empty "pop" bottles waiting to be collected - council is having cheap sugary drinks delivered and collected in bulk.

Also - any "adopted" continental food which is served with chips. Popular, I believe , in eating establishments in places like Benidorm and Magaluf.

i.e. Lasagne and chips, spaghetti bolognaise and chips, beef stroganoff and chips..........

Probably everyone in fairness, it is the third letter of the word, after all.

I saw a Vauxhall Cavalier in Leeds city centre on Sunday, with a set of those attached, astounding stuff - my council radar overloaded and I was forced into the nearest Wetherspoons for a Fosters

Actually you're wrong about the packs of 10.

Proper council buy moody/foreign fags off the bloke on the estate who sells them in 200s or 5 pouches of rolling tobacco.
