A bit council (Vol 4)
Discussion
I remember seeing this news clip years ago and although a very sad set of circumstances the local folk are true British Council at it’s finest.

Went to a family celebration last weekend, and for convenience my wife and I and my wife's brother and his wife stayed in a Premier Inn.
On Sunday morning we were putting our stuff in the cars, when my brother-in-law's wife couldn't find her car keys, so she rested her handbag on the open tailgate of my wife's car.
Scrabbling around in the bag, she couldn't find them, so tipped the bag upside down.
Out came all the usual woman junk, but interspersed with lipsticks and eye liner, came 8-10 teabags, loads of sweet 'n' low sachets, sugar containers, coffee sachets, little milk pots, a Do Not Disturb sign, and one of the room credit card sized door keys.
I said, "Are you sure about taking all that stuff?"
My wife said, "Why have you still got a key card?"
Her sister-in-law said, "For the £74 that we paid, they can buy some more!"
I keep telling my wife that her family are Councillistas, maybe she'll start believing me a bit now.

Why would anyone nick the door card and DND sign ffs ![biggrin](/inc/images/biggrin.gif)
My wife likes to grab the shampoo and stuff, but like the coffee and whatever, it comes home and never gets used "You can take it if you go somewhere", hmm that would involve, in most cases a hotel where they provide said items anyway. I find that at home I would never want to fiddle with small packets and bottles, its a faff and you just use the jar of coffee you have anyway or the big bottle of shower gel that doesnt take ages to dispense some.
I will take the biscuits and stick them in my coat pocket as the make a nice little surprise at some later point when you are feeling peckish.

Did she find her car keys amongst the hotel booty?
No, they were in my dumb jerk off brother-in-law’s pocket, along with a miniature sealed pot of marmalade, and one of jam, from the hotel.The entire family, save for my wife, are like sticks of rock, if you snapped them open, they’d have Council written right through them.
A few months ago, my brother-in-law and I were standing in the drizzling rain under the awning of a charity shop, waiting for my father-in-law to pick us up, BIL picked up two shirts that had been left on a pile of tat outside, and said, “These’ll be okay after they’ve been washed.”
