Watching CBeebies....
I watched CBeebies with both my kids as they were growing up. It allowed interaction rather than using the TV as a baby sitting service. Not council. berlintaxi said:
This story fits in some many threads on here, council, crap numberplate, I drive a £40,000 car, guarantee the VW driver is member of PH.

Being 'Council' on here is a more modern way of saying 'Chav', but Chav didn't depend on wealth; you could be a rich chav.
Correct me if i'm wrong, but can you be rich Council?
We can’t say chav or pie key anymore so we use council. Correct me if i'm wrong, but can you be rich Council?

That's a very conflicting post, how were you interacting and letting them watch the telly? You either do one or the other.
No it's not. You have obvioulsy never watched CBBC. Plenty interaction with your kids while watching it.alorotom said:
iPad mini actually and yes she does have access to her own iPad for a max of 1hr per day - it’s a great learning tool and recommended by her school as they also use them for the JollyPhonics and a couple of other learning tools.
What’s your point dear??
Powercouncil. The only reason you gave your spawn a tablet is so you could keep the brat quiet whilst you enjoy your Stella and wife-punching sessions What’s your point dear??

Goes on a bit, but the gist is that bloke buys a mini pool thing, punctures it, tries to take it back, gets ‘treated like a shoplifter’.
Gloucester is going to get a nomination for being 'Council' at this rate - thats two stories from gloucestershirelive, and again the below the line comments do not fail to deliver:Goes on a bit, but the gist is that bloke buys a mini pool thing, punctures it, tries to take it back, gets ‘treated like a shoplifter’.
"Can't believe it, I had the very same problem....until my wife stopped swimming with her stilettos on!"
"Put it down to experience mate, get yourself down the pub and have a shandy. "
...and some rambellings about buying a car...

Why isn't he wearing shoes? Goes on a bit, but the gist is that bloke buys a mini pool thing, punctures it, tries to take it back, gets ‘treated like a shoplifter’.

Being council is absolutely nothing to do with how much money you have, where you were born or what your parents did for a living. Correct me if i'm wrong, but can you be rich Council?
Being council is a state of mind.

Working class traditionally couldn't afford housing, this is why post war after the working class slums were pulled down, Bevan gave them council estates.
I absolutely disagree.My grandparents are a prime example - born in 1918 (both of them, they were childhood sweethearts).
Lived in Rossendale, grandma worked in a mill, grandad made shuttles for said mill. My grandma wanted to be a teacher, but couldn't as her parents were too poor. Very clever lady too. They were poor by any modern definition, my mum was brought up in this household. Outside toilet. But everything was spick and span, they saved for everything, swept the road outside their house etc etc. It was another world.
That's working class by my definition. There was not one aspect of them that was council.
(As an aside - my grandma died in 2011, she left me a little money. I put this toward a new Yamaha R1 (she always liked my bikes). Said R1 was later stolen - I will bet my house that it was stolen by someone off a council estate.)

both can live their lives how they want as long as they don't try to irritate mine. as much as I'm not a fan of dinner plates that say 'BREAKFAST LUNCH DINNER' on them i'm doing going to give a crap wondering how many people on my street have one.
Shouldn't that be BREAKFAST DINNER TEA?Gassing Station | The Lounge | Top of Page | What's New | My Stuff
