I picked up a TV via Ebay from a less than salubrious area of Manchester last week. When I arrived at three in the afternoon the forty-ish lady of the house opened the door and invited me to inspect the TV. Whilst I was doing this she sat down in her dressing gown and ate from a bowl of cornflakes, occasionally yelling upstairs to her lazy son - Ollie - to get out of bed. I may of course be imagining this, but I'm sure she was flirting with me the whole time.
I'm confused as to which bits are council in this tale. It seems, unless you are a bailiff, that there isn't one thing not council in this entire episode.2. Answering in a dressing gown when you know you have company turning up.
3. Sitting down eating cornflakes in your dressing gown and not waiting 15 minutes when there is company present.
4. Shouting upstairs in the presence of a complete stranger.
5. Wanting the D from a complete stranger whilst in a dressing gown and eating cornflakes.

Also seemingly unaware of own councilness.

When you say 'flirting', you mean 'letting her dressing gown fall open to reveal her tattooed kebab', right?Goaty Bill 2 said:

I just don't like HP sauce.
If I want a different sauce I go for Levi Roots Reggae Reggae sauce of Dragons den fame.
But as any form of 'reality' TV is by definition 'a bit council', you've only make the connection between Levi Roots and Dragon's den via some comment inadvertently read in the Sunday Telegraph?If I want a different sauce I go for Levi Roots Reggae Reggae sauce of Dragons den fame.
I'd rather be considered a bit council that kind of wker that reads that rag!

Stumbled on this on the Mash. It's about a year old so most likely a repost, but I'm not checking and I don't care.

3. Sitting down eating cornflakes in your dressing gown and not waiting 15 minutes when there is company present.
In 15 minutes the cornflakes would be mush.Once the stranger has left, you then proceed to have you breakfast. You don't prep the breakfast as if you are ready to eat and then wait. You just took Audi drivers to a whole new low
Insert whoosh parrot etc because you tried to be funny

Finished up at -2. I do like a choice of sauces....but luckily the old furniture and the record player and bread maker (used almost daily) did the deed
Surely a set of 'decks' counts as a record player. Very council I would have thought?Still listening to vinyl makes you a bit of a plonker doesn't it?
