a bit council

Playing the National Lottery and especially buying scratch cards. Desperation.

Buying a substantial amount of food shopping at a petrol station 'mini supermarket' and holding up decent people waiting to pay for their fuel.

Is that really council or just something that (quite understandably) annoys you? I agree with you about scratch cards though.

I got a scratch card recently so that's one tick box. I did get lucky and won £20. Didn't do the typical council thing though I kept it instead of buying another ten cards.

Paying for things with notes that are crumpled up like a piece of waste paper.

Is it council to have the banknotes in your wallet all lined up facing the same way, in descending order of value, with the newest ones on the inside?

Might be considered a bit council to carry cash . I do have to say the reason I do not carry any cash is that once my bills are paid,there is no money left.if I did have money spare I might spend cash at the pub or buy takeaways.

Yes. It's amazing how many "council" do this, especially teenagers. They pay for things in shops with a note that's been folded like origami and stuffed in the ticket pocket of their jeans (I'm showing my age....)

Shop staff beware - it's a method of hiding the fact that the note is a forgery - I left it in my pocket when it was in the washing machine, honest.

In Northern Ireland, council is having a static caravan for weekend breaks, i.e. piss-ups. Sites may be by the sea, but the van is never left.

Ehh?

No, struggling with that...he's looking for a girl, and when he finds one, he'll be having a drink?

Lucky woman.

that bloke's facebook (not locked down of course - which is very council) is really something to behold. He's geolocated himself most recently at Asda, McDonalds and Argos

I am somewhat guilty of this one, I keep notes wrapped round my cards by way of a wallet fashioned from money. Sometimes the notes end up a bit crumpled but usually it works well.

Not sure if this qualifies or if it's just me...

Booking a restaurant, or placing an order under your first name, rather than your surname.

Northern Ireland takes council to a whole new level. We could start with building massive great fking bonfires out of crates and covering them in racist hate speech, which then promptly collapse when lit and take out a street of terraces

I have a long surname, most shall we say "non locals" struggle, they can manage my first name.

I could fill this thread if you want. I loathe this place. However, if I left to go back to civilisation I would have to leave my daughter behind. It's OK in some areas, but sadly the town where I live is a "dole city", and I get to watch in dismay every fecking day. It's like the place that time forgot.

Not convinced. I know lots of council folk - personally and professionally - and none of them have ever been to Dubai.

Actually, most of them wouldn't know where either of those 2 places are if I'm honest.

So instead of Dubai & Cancun, I'm nominating ignorance.

Purchasing a vehicle and asking for £50 back for luck. Unbelievable.

Mainly because it's a place where the very worst kind of ignorant, stkicker, knuckle dragging, football thug, dolescum behaviour is actively encouraged and condoned by the cretinous,venal politicians in charge
