Getting taken to and from the supermarket in a taxi.
Which reminds me - a life of unemployment ages people fast: when I used to work for the Jobcentre I'd see some people who I assumed were in their 60s or a bad 50-odd. They were often in their 30s and had never worked.
The wife's aunt used to go to the supermarket in a taxi when she was a housewife, this was because she didn't drive and it was cheaper than the bus. Which reminds me - a life of unemployment ages people fast: when I used to work for the Jobcentre I'd see some people who I assumed were in their 60s or a bad 50-odd.

I can quite believe that people who choose not to work age fastest; for a couple of reasons:
- these people need to occupy their days with something so I can imagine they are heavy drinkers and/or smokers; both of these activities will age you if you do it a lot.
- they have no job to look good for and to tidy themselves up for; the wife gets up early, showers, puts her make up on, moisturises etc so she is is looking after herself, I do the same; minus the make up of course. Looking after yourself properly when you are young, makes you look better when old.
- they are more likely to eat crap food; a lifetime of crap food makes you look awful.
- no positive outlook on life; a positive outlook makes you look and feel better.
Anyone who uses a Post Office regularly will know of the "All Of It" card. It's what the Benefits get paid onto and is a little purple / white bank card given to people on benefits to help them manage their finances. Rather than get say £10 out to pay the electric, or £20 for some groceries, the card gets stuffed in the machine, the phrase "All Of It" is grunted, the cashier gives them their money & then they head off to Bargain Booze for 4 cans of Strongbow, 20 Lambert & Butler and scratchcards.
In fact, add scratchcards to the list. Very, very council.

Using one of those supermarket provided electric invalid chariots when you're just a fat, lazy chav, wheezing from your forty Bensons a day.

They can't afford to run a car because of their spending habits. If they live near a supermarket, look out for shopping trollies in the front garden. Stolen. The big ones cost shops about £150, the smaller ones about £80. Prosecute the scum.........Using one of those supermarket provided electric invalid chariots when you're just a fat, lazy chav, wheezing from your forty Bensons a day.

...shopping trollies ... Stolen...
In my youth I had an after school job at the local Tesco. One evening I was tasked with collecting all of our trolleys after the council had fished them out of the harbour. Unsurprisingly Barnacle encrusted trolleys steer even worse than normal.Truckosaurus said:

Extra points if you see a primary school kid eating them for breakfast on the way to school in the morning while mum walks about 100 yards behind smoking a fag while browsing Facebook. Extra, extra points if the 8/9 year old washes them down with a supermarket own brand energy drink.northwest monkey said:

One apparently has 57 stories, but no lifts. The French we are staying with want to take us to see the bars and fish and chip shops. They think it is quaint. I shall take photos.

One of the girls called in was named "Venus"
I thought of this thread.
Also there are some surprisingly fat girls doing ballet (age group roughly 5-10)
Unsurprisingly when I look around the waiting rooms, they have fat parents.
The clues are there. Its shocking that children of this age are already becoming obese.
