The five Christmas trees that are laying abandoned in my street makes it look a bit council.

I must admit i'm quite impressed with one of the trees that is still fully green with all its needles still intact.

I was unsure at first, but I think it's an F-Type, the camara lens has just distorted it a little, the wing mirrors are right, so are the rear arch lines, third brake light and front wing vent.

I'll go with that.

To me the rear wing was a Triumph Stag and the front was a Fiat thing.

For some people, this is a "whole new world".

Unfortunately, my mate's girlfriend loves this idea and wants it in their home when they buy a house. Lovely lass, but has the mental age of an 8 year old

Some great posts in here, I'll add:

- calling supper "tea";
- eating "tea" at 18:00;

That may just mean they are from the North East. I used to have a near daily disagreement with colleagues about dinner/lunch and dinner/tea/supper.

I agree.

Doublesix is talking rubbish.

Purchasing "furniture" in a shop

I presume you get the butler to commission yours or do you just go out to tender?

Is a bed classed as furniture?

If so where does he get his mattress from?

Or does he just get his old "Quality" one re-upholstered?

This is an excellent thread for spotting who are the biggest bellends on PH



I'm sure it doesn't count as "A bit council" but how do you describe someone who thinks they are better than they actually are?

Someone who spends their time looking down on others with the mistaken impression that they are somehow superior

Are you offended ?

My last purchase was a Victorian leather arm chair....cost me £80 plus a £200 upholstery fee with £40 extra for horse hair rather than "synthetic" padding....how much was your one from World of Leather ?

Does that really make me superior to you or just someone who would rather have a well made chair that lasts more than 3 years, rather than one which has been made with a staple gun and plastic in a Chinese sweat shop ?

I'm not offended. Why would I get offended by an anonymous poster on an internet forum?

I have never bought anyhting from Wold of leather, but I have bought furniture from shops in the past, just like the vast majority of the population.

Your view that this makes them "A bit council" says a lot about you and nothing about them

You deserve such a kicking for that.

This house!

I counted 4 massive TVs!

Atrocious! There's a distinct lack of furniture space there.
Who would buy a terraced council house with a swimming pool in the garden?

Delusions of grandeur for sure. stty old council house.

Haha! That is possibly the most council ex-council house I've ever seen. Massive tellies? By the 6 pack. Sit writing on the wall? check. "i've got a swimming pool"? Yes sir. Dogy sat dish? Hell yeah. I bet if they sold it with the fridge in situ, it'd be full to the brim with Farmfoods.

I like how the front door is behind 3ft of WWII trench, it's like a Nazi bunker on Jersey

Council is long trousers and no t-shirt.

Isn't a long sleeved polo shirt just a rugby style shirt?

Moving on.

I mentioned rugby very early in in this thread. League is council Union posh. I think. I know some people got a little upset by the whole thing.

I know or care nothing about sport but did buy a rugby shirt a few years ago. It had some discreet foreign flags on it. I wore it down my local on a Saturday and got some very odd stares. A friend explained that the shirt was celebrating some league event and that this was being frowned upon ( in a jokey manner ) by the rugby officianados in the pub.

Posh rugby people are not council. Usually privately educated but only to GCSE standard so they talk nicely but are a bit thick on the whole. They work in places like estate agents and do quite well. By the time they are 40, they've picked up enough to own their own. They can only talk about rugby. Invited to a party they talk about how their toddler son will be a Hooker or a prop or something one day.

To my mind any pub that allows sporting attire is council. Sadly at the time of this incident, thus thread had not been invented so that particular retort was out of my grasp.

I think. A lot of the people I just mentioned would actually be very council if they'd gone to a comp.

For many of us, councialuty sits beneath a layer of respectability as thin as gold leaf.
