IM not sure I quite get the pistonheads fascination with 'old money'.
To me old money appears to be people who have inherited their family's wealth, have never worked or have worked but done some s
t job on their own estate which is actually eating into the wealth.
Asset rich and cash poor screams "I've never done a days work in my life, but I do own a few million worth of property, old guns and a bashed up 1986 range rover, I spend my time belittling the gardener who has worked his whole life here for fk all as I can't afford anymore as there isn't actually any new money coming in"
The opposite to council would be pretty much anyone who isn't the below
Bloke sells drugs, some knock off gear and always seems to be home, mrs does nails. 3 kids from different dads. Versace (fake) bed linens. Subaru with stickers, massive exhaust, not been serviced since 3 years old. Always got a 'beef' with someone, usually over nothing but "ain't getting mugged off"
This is combined with some sort of benefit scam, breeding of dogs (whatever is popular at the time), putting about 80% of what they earn up their nose! loud music at home regularly, second hand hot tub! diamond encrusted rolex
Not sure how someone who's got themselves an m3, a nice watch, works hard and lives on a bovid new build is council, I sort of get it but I think some people have never had the joy of meeting someone proper council

But I agree on the old money thing, not sure why they are so highly regarded on here ?

How many other visible logos are considered not at all council?

Loake shoes Church's
Charles Tyrwhitt clothing Yes, for work only though. (Mostly scruffy off duty.)
Single malt Yes
Hoyo del Monterry cigars. (Not expensive enough to be flashy but nice and refined) Not allowed to any more (health insurance random tests) but tried plenty and never liked any better than Honduran Don Ramos which, apparently, is a 'novice' cigar.
Classic 911 Fo Sho
Strangely I enjoy or own all the above and I'm proper council innit....I have been to the village shop in wellies and PJs - this nearly counts as going to the chippy in your slippers in my books.

This. As one would assume no need for those linked to such family wealth to ever get wrapped up in such matters. When they do, the crime is so much more complex and glamourous sounding, than say, Gaz on a northern council estate gets caught receiving coke from Shabbir from Pakistan.

You think so?This. As one would assume no need for those linked to such family wealth to ever get wrapped up in such matters. When they do, the crime is so much more complex and glamourous sounding, than say, Gaz on a northern council estate gets caught receiving coke from Shabbir from Pakistan.
I'm the opposite. I find getting caught a great leveller. He just looks like sweaty, scared Brit, far out of his depth in those photos.
What's not council, is your father making a couple of phone calls to some old pals and the whole thing mysteriously going away.
