So who couldn't spell Heaven, them or you?

Mrs GE is a teacher. She has a kid in her class called Neaveh. I dispair.

Does she teach spelling?

Another eh?

As in it's not been fixed because their "pay" doesn't cover iPhone 4S repairs. I vaguely know someone who has had a cracked screen on her phone for over 12 months & it annoys me immensely.

I had a cracked screen on my phone (not an iPhone, nothing says council like an iPhone...) for a while, not because my pay wouldn't cover the repair, but because I had better things to spend my money on and my phone still worked

Have we had motorbikes yet?

On the whole pretty council. Although thrilling.

What prompted me was observing a fat doleite standing at a bus stop wearing a Barry Sheene motorbike jacket, white and yellow with 'SHEENE' written down one arm in red. Absolute council.

Have we had door handles on your front door? I'm in a bit of a quandry over it... i've convinced myself it's council!

That's an odd one. Explaining please...

Yeah I think it should be 'Nevaeh', although as it’s a made up name anyway I suppose it doesn’t actually matter.

Well front doors in my eyes should only have a key hole, not a handle too. Handles are for back doors and internal doors. Make any more sense?

Was hoping for an explanation of why is it more council to have a door handle? I've lived in houses and flats with both options, and there seemed to be no correlation with the 'council-ness' or otherwise of the individual property.

Your point seems to be more along the lines of 'I think that front doors shouldn't have handles, therefore council'.

Are you sure it's not meant to be "Niamh" only they're trying to spell it like it sounds... or have lost their links to the Old Country through generations of caravan life and can no longer manage the language?

I know what you mean but doesn't quite work. Very grand country houses have handles. Those cheapo plastic doors from double glazing companies that advertise BOGOF deals have handles. Most things in between don't.

This.

Front doors should have handles. I want to be able to walk in and out of my house from the front garden without either leaving the door ajar or having to get my key out every time.

If anything not having a handle is what you might expect if your door fronts directly onto the street.

[Nik da Greek]

My front door doesn't have a handle. It has a huge knob, right in the middle

I'll leave that one for the comedians in the audience to make of what they will

My phone is constantly cracked. Better things to worry about!

[schmunk]

Modern doors with multi-point locks have handles, else you'd need to put a load of torque through the key...

[anonymous-user]

An unidentified car parked outside the front of the house all year long, covered by a tatty tarpaulin is council and may have been mentioned in the post before.

However bonus council points awarded if all that can be seen of the car are a couple of Wolfrace-alloy shod tyres.

Good point.
