Don't be knocking the cash hehe
I don't think anyone uses cash anymore do they? Have not withdrawn or spent anything other than card/contactless/Apple Pay in the last six months and would avoid anywhere that needed me to!
How do you stop your cards bending and cracking? I haven't used a wallet for 20 years+. I go to an ATM every couple of weeks and take out £100 for everyday expenses - saves carrying cards everywhere which could be damaged. Take out cash from pocket, pay for goods.

Wallets/Purses make me think of Roy Cropper in Corrie. Cash is king. Back pocket of jeans is the safe.

Sitting on poolside sunloungers using hotel washroom towels.

Jumping in the pool with your training shoes on.

Smuggling food in a large plastic bag from the 'all inclusive' food hall, for later on.

Ordering poolside alcoholic drinks with the waiter as he brings you your first order, like chain smoking but chain drinking all day.

Moan that it [weather] was too hot, and the pool was too cold.

Boasting that you paid for your first foreign 'all inclusive holiday' with a PPI claim.

Moaning at the breakfast bar that the bacon doesn't look like bacon, and the beans are not HP, yet returning for more on several occasions.

Complaining that the Bensons you are chain smoking bought from duty free are giving you a sore throat, " There's something wrong with these bifftas! "

Shouting Hola, and Grassy arse, for no reason in particular - " GRASSY ARSE...snigger, snigger."

Not putting sun screen on your children who are too young to know any better, weeping, pink, blisters all round.

This family talked with the same accent as me, which for some reason gave the green light to the father to talk to me as though he was my best friend, what a nightmare, I spent most of my time telling others that I've never met him before in my life.

Luckily his PPI claim only stretched to a weeks stay, so I endured his embarrassment for only 3 days.

He was proud to be council, and would have it no other way, the food in the Hotel was OK but not a patch on his local Chippy. biggrin

One of his children never left the worn out buggy he was strapped into, it was originally white and navy stripes, but the only evidence of this was on the back of the fabric, the foot strap was snapped and dragged along the floor along with the childs feet.

Why me ?
Holiday in Tenerife?

IF. Yes, in a perfect world everything would work perfectly all the time. Incidentally, I assume POS stands for Pile of sh*te?
Most non-chain pubs and clubs don't have such integrated systems. This place had some ancient POS system and a standalone card reader. Which the barstaff had to go and collect from the back bar every time some idiot pulled out a card for a 4 quid beer. Then, because said idiots were buying drinks fairly regularly, they started to get random PIN checks, meaning they had to fumble around sticking the card in the reader and entering their PIN. Which is never easy for a drunk person!

Been camping this weekend (yes yes I know, how very council...(rural Oxfordshire if that makes it any more acceptable?))

A rather nice bunch turned up, with an Alpina D5, a Macan, and a variety of other nice motors. All the posh camping gear, gas Bbq, smoker, big gazebo, all the food in Waitrose bags... Was rather jealous of their fabulous middle class camping trip.

That was until he put up a huge 20 foot led light pole....


Crap quality night time picture (and upside down apparently) but, so very council.

My cousin is sitting in that very jam at the moment, people are getting their kids bikes out of the boot/from bike racks and letting their little munchkins ride around on the carriageway.

Pure council!
confused

Why wouldn't you let a young child stretch their legs in that situation?
Because people who don't have any kids might judge you rolleyes
I'm sorry, did I say that there was anything wrong with them stretching their legs?

Letting them ride around unaccompanied on the wrong side of an empty motorway seems a little daft though, the woman who got stranded on the opposite carriageway after going for a walk in the tress will probably testify to that.

Because you booked a council holiday and predictably were surrounded by scrutters.

Sat in a deck chair by the side of the road eating your picnic as part of a good day out.

Oh and leaning forward over the steering wheel whilst changing gear, that's extremely Council that is.

Because you booked a holiday at a typical council destination – I’m guessing south coast of Spain/ Tennerife.

Just because a village has a banger racing track in it doesn't automatically make it council :P
