A bit council Vol 2

Wearing a suit on a Saturday.

Not if it is crisp beige linen and one's manservant has arranged for one's crew to ready the motor yacht, chill the champers and contact one's favourite supermodels for a day out in the Solent.

Including weddings and garden parties...?

Does average 'council' even own a suit?

Some weddings happen on a weekend, presumably they are exempt?

I'm not sure I'm getting the reasoning here.
I don't wear a suit on weekends anyway, but I often wear a sport jacket and even a tie.
Not that anyone's opinion or argument, however good, will change my decisions on my weekend wear - but I am curious nonetheless.

Wearing a linen suit to go yachting, rather than blazer and flannels: council. Or Del Monte.

Keeping one's yacht on the Solent instead of Antibes or somewhere along the Cinque Terre: council.

Indeed, weddings not on a weekend = a bit council.

Therefore, by implication: actually getting killed by a 1970's colour tevelvision - ABC1 middle class that shops at Waitrose.

Actually, C1 is getting a bit council. Let's settle for AB.

Damn. I'm changing my story. It killed me.

There was a wedding that gained some public notice, involving a couple marrying on a Friday in 2011, according to my brief efforts on google.

Wear what you want.

Just keep your eyes open for suits on a Saturday and take stock of the person inside that suit.

An old friend of mine kept his in St Katherine's Dock - most certainly not council as he was genuinely double barrelled (not as a result of some frantic unwed coupling of knuckle draggers), went to various private schools around the world as his father was in the Guards, senior exec in a major public company for years, and lived in an elite part of Harpenden.

Although without doubt I'm sure there would be something on this thread we could nail him for.

But you don't understand. This is the UK yacht for entertaining when visiting one of the U.K. homes at warmer times of the year to get some green foliage in the view.

Blazer and flannels? How old do you think one is?

More redneck than council

Different continents, exactly the same.

But I realise that 'Redneck' is more of a country farm boy, the traits are similar.

Or maybe 'White Trash' is more allied to council?

I think "Trailer Trash" is the closest US equivalent to council. Rednecks do not have the necessary sense of entitlement.

Agreed. I'd forgotten that gem.

Asking for advice on PH about claiming compo off the council = council!

ETA: only joking, seems a reasonable thing to do in the circs. Yeah, I know, encouraging other PHers to claim compo from the council = council!

Indeed, it is Council, it is their tree damaging my stately pile

Am in my garage drinking some out of date cider, now that is pure council, its called Ugly Bugger and it is fking horrible but cant bear to bin it !

I make my kids change as soon as they walk through my door.

My kids havent been to a pub either, apart from once when we went for a curry.
