Zafiras and >15 year old once-prestigious 4x4s everywhere. Everyone tattooed. Parents loudly swearing in front of kids and, my absolute favourite spot, one tramp saying to her 8 year old as she ran to the sea unsupervised and pulling her rubber dinghy: "IF YOU GET IN TROUBLE JUST ROLL OUT OF IT, SOMEONE WILL SAVE YOU!"

Lovely day out by the sea though.
Sounds like West Wittering on a Bank Holiday!

As a five year old in the days of yore, my parents would take me and other child family members to West Wittering, some in the chair of a family m/c combination outfit, and we'd play on the sand among the old wartime metal structures on the sands enjoying the almost empty beach and silver-sand like quality of the foreshore. Sand in the sandwiches was an inevitability... For a child - Heaven!

At least it seems that your neighbours put theirs away somewhere occasionally in order to be bringing them out at all. My neighbours (opposite, in full view of my dining table) put theirs out on a Friday afternoon for the Monday collection and I'm lucky if they put them away by Wednesday, if at all. We spend all weekend enjoying family meals with the backdrop of multi-bins. These people are lawyers in an ~£800k house. But their bin behaviour is very, very council. Everyone else on the street manages to put the right one out the night before collection and take them back in on the day they're emptied. I hanker for the pre-wheelie days of black bin liners. Or the right to shoot bin offenders on sight. I'm at my table now, Tuesday afternoon, bins were emptied 8.00am on Monday, theirs is still out, despite my having seen both adult residents walk past the chuffing thing several times whilst coming and going. If it's still there tonight I'm going over and parking it right outside their front door for them to find tomorrow morning, maybe they'll get the hint.

These people also, despite having an extensive private rear garden, prefer to have their noisy children play in the front garden, and have even set up their hammock there between two trees so that everyone can admire it and them as we go past/sit and eat meals at our table. As well as using the front garden as a drying/cleaning zone for their camping and sailing equipment which they seem to need to have aired and moved around every weekend. I'm beginning to wonder if their back garden is some kind of toxic former landfill which is unsafe to enter. They are also 'hoarders', and often there's evidently insufficient room on their filthy floors for random items requiring storing, so these will simply be piled up in front of the house for weeks on end. Not to mention broken lawnmowers, etc, awaiting transport to the tip. I chose this house to live in and stretched my family financially to be here as it's located in the least council street in my town, it's a peaceful, tree-lined avenue inhabited by wealthy older people in large houses and the last place I thought I'd have to put up with this kind of spectacle, and indeed nobody else here acts like it. Then a year after I got here the old lady opposite croaks and these scruffy, slapdash pinheads move in, desecrating the place with their filth and rubbish and junk. I'm fking sick of them. I imagine the next phase is, when the children hit their teens, their bedroom windows will be thrown open at all times to share a new found passion for dreadful, tuneless music of some kind.

Living your life in the front garden when you have an unused rear garden - I'm nominating that as very council.
Strategically move their wheelie bins in front of their driveway every time wink
You've quoted the wrong person - that post was not from me.

Not really council, but a good point. I don't recall the last time I went anywhere on one. Stay at home, do some gardening. Go to the pub.

Or sit in a fifty mile jam to get into Wales/the Lakes etc etc No thanks. It always absolutely bladders it down too.

Now I thoroughly disagree with this lady being thrown out of a pub for breast feeding.

But many council points are awarded for her children's names:

Zionn.

and Mickell.

and like Waynetta slob, she has a brown one too, just like all the other mum's on the estate.

22 years old, 2 children, different fathers..................

Where's your evidence for this? Both children appear to be mixed-race.

Trouble is that I know quite a few very definitely NOT council people that are into motocross and enduro. Unfortunately the bikes themselves attract the worst scrotes you'll ever meet - every council scummer going seems to think that their feral ratboy child should have a motocross bike to annoy all and sundry with.

They're just theft magnets (as I discovered to my dismay). I once made the mistake of once going to the town centre shops on it. Came back after ten minutes to a huge crowd of horrible feral council types round it. Later my garage got done over for it - big time.

Even worse a kiddies mini mx bikes. Attract scum like flies round st.

I've got two friends who own motorbike shops - one had a little Aprilia 50cc mx bike in the window. The low-life it attracted into the premises was alarming. First to go were the keys (and the actual car) to his BMW 850, shortly after the entire front of the premises getting ram raided and destroyed so some scrotes could get the bike. Nothing else - just that kiddies bike.

The other friend had a trials bike shop and his insurers actually stipulated that no childrens motorbikes were to be kept on the premises whatsoever or no cover. He also would not deal with or have anything to do with spares etc for cheapo Chinese bikes which also would attract undesirables through the door.

Which brings me onto....

- agricultural quads: not council
- quads (and jetskis): council
- cheap chinese quads: very council
- cheap chinese kiddies quads: just call yourself Jaxson Kyan Scumbucket.

Have we had wearing motor racing branded apparel when the wearer clearly has no affiliation to the brand/team in question?

What about designer clobber with lettering even the visually impaired can read? (Hackett springs to mind)

As Dog Star has said, these sports attract people from all backgrounds - in speedway (one of the sports I commentate on regularly) there is always a really good and very eclectic mix of fans. I've not been to a scrambling (yes I still call it that!) event for a long time since my local track had a motorway put through it!
