Yes, I'm afraid it's a thing - there was a rash of posts (possibly on this very thread) a while back of assorted z-listers being photographed putting their bins out in their smalls, supposedly unawares. Actually, perhaps that should be the collective noun for photos of such people: a rash.

I think you mean trash

Those shops that do fake tans and nails

White fridge and freezers unless they are built in

Some controversial ones but.

Modern Ford mustangs
Natwest Bank
Halifax Bank
Weed
Part worn tyres.

Ford Mustang? Council? Hmmm.... no, I don't see that...




IMHO, THIS sort of thing is 'council'...

And have 'Cash Only' signs in the window.

I'd disagree with that. Coloured appliances are far more council.

Ah bugger, another nail in my 'being council' coffin ... SMEG (literally)

I agree it is not....it is a Cash Converters (the manager) cars

[All that jazz]

Those Mustangs have dated horribly already.

indeed, coloured appliances- v council.

was in a bungalow the other day- all applicances were black. black plastic- not a stainless or metalled black.

looked dreadful.

I have a "silver" Beko under-worktop fridge . It said silver in the blurb but it's actually a dark grey plastic.

[HTP99]

My oven is grey (metal), fridge freezer is grey (metal), washing machine is grey (plastic).

None are built in so I guess I'm council.

For fks sake! Not again! My kitchen is gloss black and steel.

How much more council can I get? I'm off to sit on my new corner sofa in front of my 55" tv and cry

yes but I bet your kitchens are nice: they don't have deep fat fryers in them (I once counted 3 in operation in just one house)

they don't have frying pans, with implements stuck in them, 1" deep in solidified fat, ready to just reheat and start again

you possibly washed up at least once this week

you don't have piles of laundry gathering dust

the stairs cupboard isn't used as a dog kennel: with the door chopped in half

you're not boiling gammon, in a pan, with net curtains, fabric curtains and the windows all closed, meaning the air/moisture inside is only slightly less than the tropical house at kew gardens

you are not storing petrol quad bikes in your kitchen

you actually have drawer fronts and cupboard doors attached to the units.

I'd say its a car that's throughly loved by council types, kind of guilty by association.

A council type would love to go to Florida for 2 weeks and drive around in a base spec convertible mustang.

I'm sorry but yes, all Yank cars over here are a bit council. Council loves Americana.
