Having wheelie bins at all is a "councillation" too far. My bags have their own shed next to the sail store.

Simply knowing what happens to your rubbish is council!
Do you not have staff to deal with that for you?

Pulled pork.

Rochdale.

Rochdale is far beyond council it does not register on the scale, however it is still more civilised than Bacup.

How did you get to that

Exactly. Surely masturbation crosses class divides?

I went to Uni there and loved it. It was 20 years ago, so maybe its changed.

OT. I bet you didn't refer to it as "uni" 20 years ago. The term is not council, but a very annoying Australianism.

Back in the day. I had a girlfriend who's family rented a TV. It had some sort of slot attached and would have to be fed with a coin after so many hours viewing. Old school PPV.

Radio Rentals.
We had a black and white telly with the coin box which would frequently run out. Had meters for both the electric and gas as well so when Mum was skint we'd be sitting with candles and blankets. We didn't even have carpets in our council house till I was 15. Mum worked shifts in a cigarette packing factory for a pittance and it was years before I realised I owed her the world.


We were happier then.
Tell that to the youngsters of today and they won't believe you.

Councils that expect every home owner to "start pawing through my garbage like some starving raccoon!" [Montgomery Burns. The Simpsons: Dog of Death, 1992] into 6 separate bins for collection (when they can be arsed to actually collect it), to a schedule that requires a degree in quantum physics to comprehend.
Rejecting a bin because some passer-by has dropped a piece of paper into your 'plastics and metals only' bin before it could be collected.

No respect for your customers = council.


For the record, I can manage a two bin system quite well, and do so.

I have a Waste Disposal company so all my rubbish at home goes into my own bags then put on my vans and taken in to a recycling centre we use (which has a better recycling manifest than my local council's depot). This way I never have to sort anything, it's all done professionally by somebody else. All the various bins are just kept unused round the side of the house.

My council is incredibly anal about recycling and I long for the day they knock on my door to check that I'm following the rules so I can say "No thank you, I throw away all my own rubbish", then smile and close the door.

We owned our b/w TV but dad used to rent a colour set when the snooker was on.

Work motivational posters always make me groan.

If you want to motivate me, give me loads of money. That's why I'm here. I'm not here to garner a deeper understanding of the philosophical nature of graft. I'm here to fund my petrol and booze habit, so either pay me more money or shut the fk up.

The desperate need to classify absolutely anything, ever, as council.

Council.

I started Uni 14 years ago, and that's what we called it then.

Pretty sure when my brother went 20 years ago, that's what he called it.

I certainly called it Uni in 1995. I might have said to my grandmother that I was going to University. But to peer age group it was "Uni".

'Poly'.

Council, but aspirational too. I'm confused.

Not knowing which of the two is succinct. Uber-council.

I thought it was a good idea albeit very expensive. nothing council unless the car was a mobility scheme Zafira.
