When I go to my hospital appointment I have to walk thru smokers outside the front where there are no smoking signs, it is pretty disgusting really and very council.
Quite true. I don't disagree at all there. It's just the argument that non smokers reap the benefits of smoking whereas smokers don't.austinsmirk said:

its a good thing that people smoke: you get the tax from fag purchase and yes it costs the NHS, but ultimately they die young: on balance it works for the treasury.
Certainly in my profession, if you smoke, its damn obvious you will be having an early death and ending your latter years being extremely infirm and incapable.
Cue "I knew a bloke who was 101 and still fell running whilst smoking 100 cigs a day" stories.
I don't understand how the poor afford to smoke though, with a packet costing £10 these days. Oh yes I do: chuffing tax credits and generous DLA payments.

Most of the council smokers I know buy Polish packs from under the counter at a dodgy newsagent

Waiting in the car for the other OH, fat bloke in adidas and slazenger tacksuit driving a '96 Astra estate, opens his door and slams it REALLY hard, opens the rear door, starts screaming and bashing the windows for the kids to get out, and his wife/gf quickly gets out and so do the kids in pure fear.
He pushes the kid, who must be no more than 4yrs old using the rear of his head, while the clearly council but helpless wife carries the baby all the way to the shop.
I genuinely felt sorry for the wife and kids. What a

Its probably contrived but all those benefits programmes have people smoking all the time, someone complaining about not having enough money to live off, i.e. provide essentials but still smokes like their life depended on it, for full effect be swigging a can of lager at 10 am.

Saying "lounge" instead of "sitting room"?
I had a difference of opinion with an estate agent when selling a house. Told her to word the ad with term Living Room. Lounges are what pubs have in the other bar or what trying to be posh 1970s housewives called the living room in their new-build Wimpey Home.I hate the term lounge but I'm not sure if it's council.

Buying a panini or any other form of hot food from a petrol station.

It ridiculous what people are saying, some of the crap that is being spouted like "astronauts are council"
