And eating a single packet of crisps out of a bowl.

This reeks of lower middle class pretentiousness.

Was told it was bad manners. What do I know, I don't even wear a tie to work.

Prince Charles would eat from from a bowl.

Prince Philip would eat them from the packet.

I think my new mantra is going to be 'What would Prince Philip do?'

When you purchase crisps at Woburn Golf Club the bar staff open the packet and serve them to you in a nice wooden bowl. That'll do for me

That's not good if you were planning on saving them for later or taking them away with you. Do they ask you are you eating in or taking away because that sounds very Council

That is very presumptuous of staff to do that with one's crisps. I'd have the blighters horse-whipped to within an inch of their life for such behaviour.

P.S.
I bet they always pilfer a couple en route. Bar stewards!

Hate to tell you, some of the council houses near me are thatched

Not driving like a complete knob-end.

(And not then trying to justify the knobbyness because "he was driving at 29.99999mph! I was forced to overtake like a knob!"

Manners

a wine cellar (or stock - to drink and replenish, not to look at)

No social media presence

some of those said earlier are brilliant.

[TR4man]

Being able to spell and knowing how and where to use punctuation.

I never gave that a thought..............I'm back there in a couple of weeks so will pay close attention and insist the bag is opened and decanted in front of my eyes

Relaxing in your large garden, sitting on garden furniture, enjoying a quiet glass of wine with the missus, sorry, the lady of the house. Not a sound to be heard, only the tweeeting of liddle birds.

Lidl staff ... not place on here for them or there incessant chatter

The only sound is the air conditioning. Where? Waitrose of course. (And every customer puts down the divider after their shopping.)

Believe me I have spent several hours on several occasions with my Scouts bag packing on the tills at Waitrose and I can assure you it is as council as any other supermarket.

What is the etiquette if the person in front of you doesn't put the divider down? Give them a look? A quiet 'ahem' under your breath? Or just accept the fact some people are utter scum incapable of functioning in a civilized society, put the divider in place yourself, all the while imagining them strung up by their ankles whilst the rest of the shoppers set about them with baseball bats, like a manic retail version of Pinata?

How To Get On In Society by John Betjeman
Phone for the fish knives, Norman
As cook is a little unnerved;
You kiddies have crumpled the serviettes
And I must have things daintily served.

Are the requisites all in the toilet?
The frills round the cutlets can wait
Till the girl has replenished the cruets
And switched on the logs in the grate.

It's ever so close in the lounge dear,
But the vestibule's comfy for tea
And Howard is riding on horseback
So do come and take some with me

Now here is a fork for your pastries
And do use the couch for your feet;
I know that I wanted to ask you-
Is trifle sufficient for sweet?

Milk and then just as it comes dear?
I'm afraid the preserve's full of stones;
Beg pardon, I'm soiling the doileys
With afternoon tea-cakes and scones.

Set about them with cricket bats old chap! This is the not council thread afterall, baseball bats are for heathens.

Only because they are terrified your basics range stuff will get scanned through with their squid ink and sealion pavlova.
