In one East London council I do a lot of work for the shared ownership deals the Government are pushing (by quota system) are taking hundreds of properties out of council stock every year. Someone is making an awful lot of money while the waiting lists grow longer.
I watched a programme about sub letting, a woman in her 60s had been sub letting a council house for years , made 100s of thousands

The people living in the house didn't match her description so theystarted watching it until she showed up to collect the rent

They went in , camera crew stayed outside but sound was still recording

They cautioned her, told her it was criminal offence to sub let a council property and there's 2 ways they can play it

Either she contests it and they take her to court or she hands they keys back and they forget about it

So of course she hands the keys in , I was fking fuming , she's made a fortune illegally but they think they have won because they got the house back , she gets to walk away Scott free

42.9% of vehicles currently parked on my road feature yellow/blue Battenberg livery. Should I be ashamed?

Are they "parked" though, or do they qualify for the Bad Parking thread?

anyone on here ? home made, unsafe drive that "you have to bounce up the kerb to get up", outside your awful council house.

and then of all things to do, ruin your wife's shoes- thus costing "you" money. just to ensure your relationship bodes well.

oh and tell the media
That contravenes rule 97 of the Highway Code.

Rule 97

Before setting off. You should ensure that:
* clothing and footwear do not prevent you using the controls in the correct manner

Nice shoes! I'd not be knackering a pair of those - I'd do a dump in the trainers though, and be insisting that she wore the heels in bed as compensation.

Subtle, clever marketing. Knife and fork for middle class kids... keep things simple with just a spoon for council kids.

I saw someone pull out of space in front if his house today and stop.

His missus then came out of the house with a traffic cone, locked the front door, dropped the cone in the middle of the vacated parking space, got in the car and off they went.

Council?
