Revenge Porn , Mouth breathing 24yr old woman and a 63 year old man, an illicit child born out of wedlock and a holiday to a caravan park in Rhyl.

Is this the most council story ever?

Why? Nothing wrong with their business model. They cater for the dregs of society and the high risk of them defaulting is reflected in the prices they charge. No-one is forcing you to use them and if you manage your finances like any sensible person would do then you have no reason to use them anyway.

The comments are brilliant. Its a shame that the local news papers have sunk to such depths to sell a few more copies.

Also "When she was finally able to pick up the jumpers [later the same day], Kim was told that the error had been caused by her putting the email in wrong, however she insists she double checked everything when submitting the order."

Cretins.

I've never played it. I gave it to my brother for Christmas

Shame her jumper wasn't red and white stripes with a matching hat. They could play Where's Wally.

Shopping at Asda - council.

I've got one. I was chatting to my nephew at the weekend, his mate at school (in the first year at secondary school), goes to the same school as his uncle (he's in the fifth year at secondary school). All seems a bit council to me.

Happens loads, after 21-22 weeks off not paying the agent and not answering the door another company writes the goods off. Each payment made before is factored in, they just move on to the next customer

Always thought those two year old DFS sofas you see on gumtree and fb selling sites were someone who hadn't kept the payments up and was about to default.

Not necessarily. I had a friend at school from a relatively posh family. Her mum's youngest sister was the same age, so at secondary school she shared classes with her aunt... big family in an old money style.

I've had a tenant do this.

Moved in, bought all sorts from Bright House (TV, washer, fridge freezer, cooker, hoover, corner couch, Xbox etc.) and 2 weeks later cleared off with the lot. I was actually up on the deal, but I'm guessing Bright House weren't. I let the bloke in for a quick look around so he could check it had all gone & I re-let the house. Odd way to live your life for a woman with a couple of kids.

I wouldn't worry about it.

After all, even though all blackbirds are black, yet not all black birds are blackbirds.

Some blackbirds are brown (the females)..............you need time to sit on your council corner couch and read a bird book,

There was a pub just off J3 of the M40 and it was called 'The White Blackbird'. Presumably the landlord was called Al Beano...

its about the space, setting and dressing of a room that enables a corner sofa to be purchased. I suspect Dogstar, you have the appropriate setting !

a soft cushion, draylon, cord type thing,or faux leatherette with recliners, built in fridge and sound system, wedged into the living room of a 1950's council house, typically blocking a door partially..........perhaps not.

its up there with round bed type armchairs, especially if they spin.


I was once so accommodating I changed the design slightly of a 4 bed wheelchair house (with grd floor bedroom and wetroom- so it was massive) to allow for a corner sofa to be fit in the living room. The child had the worst disability (I think one of 6 in the UK only) Ive ever seen in my career.

So I find a plot of land, find money, instruct architects, build them a house and yet the parents are fretting about a FFFFFFFFF NNGGGGGGG sofa. You could not make it up. I remember saying to them that its highly unlikely anyone in owner occupation would have a house this large, in the real world.
