ok, well as some of you may or may not know from my previous posts on this thread, I work in social housing.

I am also a self appointed judge of what is/isn't council !

e.g Vauxhall cars, all council

anyway, whilst on a lovely estate today, I would like to nominate "Christmas House lights".

That's right, putting them up, all over the outside of yr house on the 15th October.

If of course you were doing this to randomly collect for some unheard of charity, this would make it uber - council.

But this act is full belt and braces "council".

This fella near me was the bane of his neighbour's life for many years. http://www.getreading.co.uk/news/local-news/no-ho-...

Council made good, but bought all this tat with him. 200 cars an hour of simpletons invading an exclusive private road to see this st!

Fortunately he met he match in a very determined, er, Council!

Council kids wear off-white polo shirts for school PE. Apparently their washing machines don't have a "whites" cycle.

Its because Fat Mum washes Fat kids, Fat Dad's and Fat Daughters underpants and socks together with Fat kids White T shirts in one load.

.....because the outcome is always somebody else's fault.......

Council kids also wear trainers as their school shoes, sometimes white ones, even though the school specifically ask for black leather shoes. The parents claim they can't afford both types, as they puff away on their pack of 20, feed chopped steak to Tyson the staffie, and down another six-pack of Special Brew.

Social workers take children from families who overfeed them.

The previous 12 months saw five similar cases in Sheffield, Portsmouth, Lincolnshire, Slough and Harrow, London.

That's about as left field as it gets, even on this thread.

This happened in my local Asda a few years ago when they started charging for carrier bags. I went in and couldn't find a basket anywhere. When I asked I was told that since the charge introduction people just took the baskets instead. They made bags free again.

I reckon this will happen all over the place now, so they'll start some system where you need a pound to release a basket, as they do for trolleys.

Folding rear seats are to accomodate skis. You don't see many "council" in Gstaad.

Please elucidate...

Picture the scene; your neighbour has recently bought a nice sensible BMW F10 5something SE with small wheels and no 'M' badges. You're outside your late '20s detached property on a good road in a nice part of town, cleaning your 20 year old Jaguar with a straight six instead of one of those vulgar V8s they use nowadays, and they come back from a shopping trip. He climbs out of the car, strolls around to the back of it, and unloads some flat packed furniture he's just bought from IKEA, which you'd never fit in a car without folding seats.

He's spec'd folding seats when ordering the car, because he knows he'll be buying horrid things.

That, my friend, is council.

Roof bars. What self respecting person would put skis inside their car?

I must admit to thinking they all did.

I was surprised when I found out the ones in mine don't and I thought it was an exception rather than the rule.

I would suggest that there are probably more cars with folding rear seats than there are council tenants in the whole of the UK. Does not compute!

How bad does your area have to be if there are ski thieves hanging a
round at traffic lights.

Or should I say how good, upper class theft that is.

Skiing is only one generation removed from council anyway.
