Stealing trollies or hand baskets because of the 5p carrier bag tax. Chavscum.

Thats what I was getting at with my post above.

But the ones with wheels on from Netto are great for bringing logs in from the garden.


I've just admitted going in Netto, guess I'm council.

Crikey. That's a hike to save a few bob: click.

Not sure you're quite grasping the concept of council. Unless you're so upper class and out of touch with reality you've got the butler to write your posts on PH.

Either that or this thread is doing its monthly "disappear up its own arse" again.

If you aren't the proud mortgage free owner of a seven bedroom place with an acre of ground despite living in central London, then you're council, frankly, this is Pistonheads after all.

Good point

The only thing you forgot is whispering wealth. It's very, very important your wealth whispers. Having shouty wealth is definitely council. For example, driving a new Bentley Mulsanne is council, driving a 1992 Mercedes 190 is an example of whispering wealth.

Or something like that

That's okay then, I thought you meant taking your own basket was council.

On so many fronts

I'm thinking that this is more 'student at crap university' than 'council'

Deffo ;-) council, when the trolley is empty you can wheel it around all the kwik fit type outlets picking up bits of old exhaust then go to the scrap man and get a fiver for about three hours work. Oh, and then sling the trolley in the nearest river / canal on your way to get four cans from the offy.

Definitely council - Look at his location...

I think that's my favourite PHism. "Yeah, I could buy a new RR Sport Supercharged, but I'd rather smoke around in an old E38 7 Series." This is nothing against the E38 by the way, I loved the one I bought off my dad, until the LCD matrix under the speedo went all pixilated. And the power steering hoses needed replacing. And then the pump. Oh, and then replaced the reservoir which seemed to solve the problem. Then I decided it was time to get rid, so I did that most council of things and sold it to my cousin.

From a Motortraders point of view, having the heater fan switched off in your car is definitely Council. And having it on recirculation too. Smelly fkers.

Just to be clear, you're talking about the BMW and not a brand new Ranger Rover there, right?

I have a couple of work vans that tend to get borrowed by others.

Vents are always on 1. Every other person that borrows my van turns the vents off, and I only realise when the windows start to steam up.

WHY?!?!?!??!

I agree, vents exist to keep windows clear. The built in tiny ones aimed at the windows are never enough.

Yes, I don't earn enough money to run a Supercharged Range Rover Sport

Thank god, I thought I was the only one!

Colleagues have nice new cars with automatic climate control... And half of them leave it off, so said nice new car is invariably stale smelling, roasting in summer,and freezing in winter. Lads with vans rely on a combination of heated windscreen and opening the drivers' window.

FFS! What is so hard about leaving the fan on low and turning the temperature knob to suit the conditions at the time? Or, in a car with climate control, leave in auto at say 19C and let the bloody thing do its job?


I was talking to a mate from Saarf Laandan earlier and he reminded me of this thread... He's generally well spoken, but for some inexplicable reason cannot say the word "ask". Instead he mangles it into "arks" - which seems pretty common in the south, particularly amongst the wannabe gangsta types, but is totally, utterly, unforgivably, 100% WRONG, and doubly so if you aren't a wannabe gangsta (blud)!

"Let me arks you a question yeh.." - No, just don't.

Same people that respond to statements with "is it".

"I'm just popping to the shops.."

"is it? lemme arks you su'in first doe yeh.."

Some say 'Ee ba gum' up my way. Some sort of weird ancient dialect. I think I'll stick to 'Aye up', much more sophisticated.

I've just seen this on Facef••k, on a First Buses parody page:

First Buses page said:

First Buses are delighted to announce that we will be banning all prams and buggies on our services, effective as of 8:00am on Sunday, 1st November 2015. The ban will be in effect nationwide owing to an increasing number of complaints from honest, hardworking passengers.

Those of you who called for this measure to take effect can rejoice as of the first day of this coming month as you will no longer have to endure the stench of giro-grabbing Facebook mums who are eroding the values in our society by plaguing public services with their Tigger pyjama bottoms and Ugg boots whilst wailing nasally at their spaghetti hoop-wearing, feral little scrotes "DECLAN! GIT fkIN' DOON FAE THERE! THERE'S THE MAN COMING TO GET YE!"

We are a public transport provider, not a bunch of disciplinarian nannies for your scabby offspring just because you decided to let some G-Star wearing weapon blow his beans up your muff outside The Garage on a Saturday night.

There are other options available to those affected; fk off and use Stagecoach or work off some of that orange peel around your arsecracks by walking to Iceland to stock up on turkey dinosaurs and quid pizzas.

We trust that this is the end of the matter and any further protestations will be promptly filed in the trash. Fare payers have suffered too long at your expense and it's time we prioritised the s who make us money instead of scheme goblins who are essentially Jeremy Kyle fodder.

Your co-operation is greatly appreciated in this matter.

Thanks,

The First Buses Team.
