My current car is an ex-motability car that was returned to the dealership, does that make me council?

you have a car which even council dont want. That is sub-council. Are the seats clean??

Can we have taking your mate's new Yamaha for a test ride even though you don't have a crash helmet? Slipping the clutch and revving it lots as you're clearly terrified of it.

I don't know much about bikes, so maybe I'm wrong, but do Chinese-built pastiche chopper bikes count as council? I saw one this afternoon waiting to pull into the traffic flow, the rider all togged-up in his biker gear, and revving the engine as he sat there. The motor sounded like a wasp inside a baked-bean tin. Do the people who buy and ride these things think they look more cool than they actually appear to onlookers? Do they care?

I may have got this all wrong.

Do you do anything different since you took ownership ? Have you changed your shopping habits to those nasty cheap shops, started drinking strong lagers before 10 a.m or had the names of family members tattooed around you neck ? If not I might just have escaped the council curse.

Not apart from the Co-op, I refuse to drink any alcohol except Guinness (and maybe Kingfisher when going for a curry) and will never have a tattoo.

The seats are perfectly clean, but I can change that....*wanders off to find a plump council chavette in tight leggings*

A question! I'm using a mobile phone with a cracked buy functioning screen (Sony Xperia by the by), council, yay or nae?

I call yay, for what it is worth.

I would say not as it isn't an iPhone; iPhone is council, iPhone with cracked screen is doubly council.

Followed a 59 plate Vauxhall Zafira today with a big fat fecker of a woman driving it, there must have been 3 / 4 kids in it.
On the rear windscreen was one of these.

No way... low end android is the council choice from my observations.

With a cracked screen.

[Rick101]

Council with money are definitely more Council than those without.

Therefore, iPhone is absolutely Council. No doubt about it.

Was listening to Radio 2 JV yesterday, yes, I know it's council.

Did make me laugh and think of this thread.

Did a topic on Zafira's setting on fire, cue female bint with strong Essex accent telling the story how how her and her partner had booked to do for tattoo's and they parked 1 meter from tattoo shop when her partner spotted smoke inside the car and they rang 999. Car was completely destroyed, they could have been in it. Nobody from the dealership told them about it.
Apparently it was an ex motability car and previous owner had come on as well. Didn't know anything about the recall and shocked as something could have happened to her as it took her ages to get out of the passenger seat as her Daughter usually drove it.

Vauxhall Zafira
Essex
Tattoo's
Bad parking
Ringing 999
Motability


Bingo!

I heard the same story whilst driving, but I heard it on the Radio 4 lunch time consumer program You and Yours. I thought of this thread as soon as the words Zafira and tatoo parlour were used in the same sentence.

Cracked screen. Yep they like to pay silly money for a iPhone contract or a unlocked PAYG on EBay. But can't be assed to buy a two quid Screen Protector.

Regardless, they do tend to hit the nail on the head

I'd argue that that actually serves a purpose, in that it warns other drivers that she will inevitably be too busy looking at her phone and you should keep well back from her on the road.

As someone once said to me - Nothing quite says "unplanned pregnancy" like a base model Vauxhall Zafira.

(edited for using too many "thats" in one sentence)

They don't need to, they can just get a new one 'on the council'

I thought you, along with the person that posted it, believed it real, and therefore relevant to this thread.
