Oh dear, my wife running group are all running on Sunday ...10 miles for Leukaemia, Breast Cancer & Autistic children, they are all in Santa attire & lots & lots of Tinsel...better tell them to call it off...

Indeed, why not just wear normal attire, unless they were sponsored to wear Christmas attire?

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

He probably meant Ginsters and Rustlers burgers which have already been covered.

Because it's a charity fun run designed to raise awareness that is occurring near Christmas time you daft apeth.

I think best room and front room - perhaps also parlour - are old school single fronted Victorian Terrace terms.

Working class - hard work, standards etc. Definitely not council.

Yep, there is nothing council about being working class or having a low income. In itself there is nothing that's not respectable about that.

Wayne Rooney is very council and he has plenty of money, for example.

I was in a newsagent yesterday and a Greggnant lady in front of me requested £11.20 worth of telly licence. Fella behind the counter said 'you know that's cash only' and she replied 'yeah course i fking do'

I couldn't help but think of this thread.

Paying for TV licence - not council. Being sweary - maybe.

I have a private drive but...
I noticed 5 cars clamped by the police/DVLA? in the first mile up the road yesterday, all with 'Police Aware' stickers.
God knows what it will be like down some of the side roads.

Fabulous.
The final decent into 'a bit council' has begun.

Not sure what to make of the C63 on Eastern European plates, outside a house that costs the same as the cars road tax.

I just knew that was PTown before I read your caption

Good old Peterbks.

Was there last weekend at a bike shop near a golf course. That part seemed nice.

Fulbridge Rd I think - Just one street out!

Bugger, I always thought that bit was St Paul's road. I really should know, I live off another bit of Fulbridge Road

Wow, I didn't know you buy a TV licence in instalments at a newsagent. You learn something new every day.

Top end of Fulbridge Rd / St Pauls Rd. Two houses in that row always put a lot of "effort" into outside Christmas decorations as far back as the 1970's.

That's shockingly hilarious, including the comments section.

I know we've done it before. But I had to go to the Range today (was looking for some snap frames for work and didn't want to pay the extortionate cost in Staples).

Unbelievably council - wall art transfers, prints of chimpanzees sitting on bar stools reading newspapers, 'family collage' photo frames, and that was just in the small section I was looking at.

They now also appear to have a 'family cafe'. Lots of cheap fried breakfasts being eaten by dole-pole wielding councilists.

And to top it, some bad parking in the car park.

Has anyone also nominated Nando's? - apparently I'm a snob - was talking to some colleagues about eating out and got onto the subject of Nando's. I confessed I've been tempted, but always put off by the kind of people eating there...

Ahh, The Range. When my girlfriend and I were buying clobber for our new home last year, we went in there to see what was what. She knows my utter hatred for all those wky stick-on phrases and stty wooden platitudes and crap generic decoration, and we had barely set foot in the door and taken a quick look around when she said "... it's probably not for us, this shop, is it?" and we left


I like Nando's though

[austinsmirk]

Nando's is council.

I've been once. Takeaway chicken at restaurant prices.

Don't see the joy in the place at all.

Never been but sounds up my street, spicy chicken what's not to like.
There is one in the square mile, think it will probably be council free.

Nando's is fine and isn't particularly council, of course you do get undesirable is there, however you get them everywhere, for cheap and fairly decent food it is fine.
