Roof bars. What self respecting person would put skis inside their car?
The ones that don't want their skis stealing?round at traffic lights.
Or should I say how good, upper class theft that is.

I'm really not. I don't think you understand what council is. Someone that confuses "chav" with "council".
"Council" do not drive brand new BMWs - they drive 'T' reg Vauxhall Zafiras with 5 kids and no child seats or if they have delusions of grandeur, a 52 reg 318i with "M" badges all over the place.
Council do not go skiing - if they want a holiday, they will borrow a battered old caravan off a next door neighbours mates brother, or they will use the vouchers out of The Sun. Either way, it will obviously be in term time.
Council do not shop at Ikea. They will get all their furniture from wherever will allow them to pay for it weekly.
Consider yourself told.
eta - a 20 year old Jag is pretty council I'm afraid chum. Make no bones about it, when people look at you driving it, they aren't thinking "I bet his wealth whispers". They are thinking "look at that tatty old car". If you were driving around in an E-type then fair enough, but a 6-cylinder XJ from the mid 90s - just no. Good god man, it's not even the V12.
eta (part 2) - I've just looked at your "garage". Oh.

Every couple of pages, someone tries to make themselves look superior by claiming almost everything is council.
They just end up looking pathetic and it sticks out a mile.
The rest of us just ignore it.
Now, back the thread.
Throwing newspapers out of a vehicle, so they end up all over the road.
As proof: it's never a broadsheet. It's always - at best - The Sun.

When you say "vehicle", I'm guessing you mean "van"
Kids turning up late for primary school. If I can get my son to school for 8.50 every morning, why can't other people? I'm not talking about the odd time being late, but at my son's school there are about 5 or 6 kids that are late nearly every day. I often see them walking down the road at about 9.15. Mother on the phone, kid eating crisps and drinking a supermarket own brand energy drink. Usually wearing trainers and a dirty jumper that hasn't seen a wash all term.

Clearly we define it differently. I don't use the word chav, so maybe council replaces it in my vocabulary. Personally I think you're wrong, and council transcends bank balance or social stature. There are plenty of wealthy people about that I would describe as council, but I guess that's what you'd call chavs.Someone that confuses "chav" with "council".

This is all covered by our difference of opinion on the meaning of the word council - where you consider it only to apply to people who live in council or social housing, and I consider it to be more of a frame of mind. Again, you use the word chav, so I guess to you the above could be considered chav.Council do not shop at Ikea. They will get all their furniture from wherever will allow them to pay for it weekly.

There is a big difference between an immaculate one bought new, and a tatty one bought for £850 - aside from that I don't think many people look at or think about cars as they drive past.eta (part 2) - I've just looked at your "garage". Oh.
My garage is horribly out of date.
Just my 2p.. Council is as the poster further up the page described.
It's 'chav' that transcends wealth and social stature.
See: Katie Price, Cheryl whatever.. Rich chavs.
Council by definition are people that will generally always struggle to get by. They may aspire to living off of Brighthouse, but generally it's not as brash as the chav lifestyle.

Having to buy groceries from the expensive local shop because you don't have transport to get to Asda.
And bartering at length for £10 worth of 'electric' which is applied to a little plastic token as you cannot be trusted with an electricity meter without trying to fiddle it.....And then buying a couple of lottery scratchcards.

In that case then I humbly apologise.
Folding rear seats are chav.
As is skiing.
As is Florida.
As is IKEA.
Skiing is not council on its own. An all-inclusive skiing holiday in Bulgaria is possibly council (borderline) but I'd say popping over to Klosters for a day on the slopes is quite a long way from what you're average scrote gets up to.Folding rear seats are chav.

as the unappointed judge on this thread: time for a ruling.
folding rear seats are not council. That is ridiculous.
A council person that needs items moving will "know someone with a van". Bonus points for moving house using vehicles like a flat back wagon, milk float or wheelbarrow. (I jest not)
Skiing: not council (and at one point I used to ski three times a year)
Council (as stated) go to caravan parks, sun voucher deals or spain et al. The height of a council holiday is "all inclusive" where you and your fat wife can stuff your round faces all day long.
Furniture. this must be purchased at massive expensive, weekly from brighhouse for example. it must be of the poorest quality immaginable. again extra points for integrated Ipod holders, beer fridges or reclining chairs inserted in the sofa.
True council sofas are enormous corner ones that restrict a door opening.
Add to this, having an American fridge/freezer that has to stand across your back door because it doesn't fit properly.
