Possibly, but it'll be called the front room or the lounge.

You wouldn't call it The Drawing Room?

I would indeed. However this is a Council thread, and they most certainly don't have a drawing room.

Owning a 'Barried' car is undeniably council, but having every single barried car you've owned since the mid 90's sat in the garden of your council house is taking it to a whole new level.
There are 2 Cavalier SRI's in there, both with light brows, kit etc, a 'bad boy' Corsa, a modded Vectra and some other piece of old crap. Hideous.
And yes I'm council for using Microsoft Edge.

Brilliant, i'm going to go for an inquisitive drive-by tomorrow! (Council)


Also council - seaside themed bathrooms.

It's a proper graveyard of chav wagons. There's a garden a couple of roads over with an 8ft resin gorilla and a 6ft resin dinosaur stood proudly next to some faux jungle waterfall. Sadly street view doesn't show them so I'll have to brave 'the Lane' and try to grab a pic.
And agreed on the seaside themed bathrooms.

Seem to be in fashion these horrible striped things. Seen a few munters wearing them.

Just reminds me of this.

Most of The Lane is a goldmine of council stuff!

I'm not brave enough to search for 'chavgirlzuk'. I can only imagine it's an online den of inequity!

Oh it really is, I suspect Dogstar is stuck in there for days.

Some of them look filthier than a Mumbai sewer.

That's a bloke.

I still would.

Unfortunately I´ve always had a "thing" for wide-striped black and white leggings. Comes from my days of going out with a truly Council Basildon girl in the early 90s I think.

So yes I might too

I like your style

Take your pick, some look good filthy, some look like they need a dip in a sheep dip full of Dettol.

I'm not from Exeter so when I was moving down here, looking at houses, I almost put an offer in on a nice place on Topsham Road, just by the junction that you'd take to 'the lane'.

Saved myself a load of money and hassle by taking a quick drive around the neighbouring streets, eye opening!

Indeed. I imagine the ridiculous amounts of traffic in Topsham Road and the ridiculous number of MASSIVE speed bumps in Burnthouse Lane would be enough to put anyone off living in that particular locale. Where did you choose in the end?

Absolutely, although all routes in and out of Exeter are terrible - with that we opted to buy close enough to the city that we don't need to drive much at all. We're in Pennsylvania, just below the university, walking distance to the shopping/missus' work/eateries/pubs etc... it works well for us.

It'll have already had them done 3 years earlier.

Pennsylvania is far more civilised, until you have to walk or cycle back up the hill! Bet you're glad you took that quick drive around, like you say, time and hassle avoided. Some of the knuckle draggers down there are the type who like to kick off at 'outsiders' .
For those of a non Exeter location, 'The Lane' is the Council heart of Exeter, a veritable sthole in what is an otherwise fairly nice city.
A taste of the lane can be found in this Roadwars clip here. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oloBxaPAmok
