Much closer to my home is a Tesco, and it is undoubtedly a chav-magnet sans pareil. Awful place, even has half of an aisle dedicated to the local Polish community.

I can only assume you're taking the piss. Lymington High Street is always full of council and there's no shortage of Polish around there. There's an enormous Eastern European contingent around east Dorset and the New Forest generally. It's beautiful area to live in, I don't blame them for choosing it.
BTW you are shopping there by choice by virtue of your voluntary presence.
I am extracting the urine, you're absolutely right.BTW you are shopping there by choice by virtue of your voluntary presence.
And Lymington High Street has a Wetherspoons, which, on any morning, has a squadron of mobility scooters parked outside. Council heaven!
Snap bangers.
Usually randomly thrown near you by some little scroat.
Currently in Devon on holiday and come across this in a few of the seaside towns. Apparently you have to be over 9 years old to buy them.
But on several occasions the young scroat might have been just under 9.
I'd give extra council points in the scroats are with parents looking on all proud.
For me I'd prefer them banned.

Had a pleasant encounter with an esteemed Council dweller this morning.
On my way to drop the car off at a garage, 7.50am approaching the Shepherd's Bush roundabout.
A nondescript people carrier (not a Zafira sadly) looks like it is about to veer into my lane (without indicating), just before the junction, so I beep the horn.
As we get to a stop at the red lights, people carrier on my right hand side, the passenger rolls his window down.
~40yo male, looks like the sort of chap to frequent a flat roofed pub, smoke rollies, and wear a tshirt and jeans all year round.
He barks at me: "did you beep the horn at us". I respond: "yes, looked like you were veering into my lane".
Charming chap starts mouthing off: "why don't you come out and tell me at my face so that I can spit on you, yada yada yada".
At that point I notice he has kids (I assume his, but can't be sure) sitting in the back seats. Kids old enough to understand what daddy/not daddy is saying, and perhaps even surmise that that must be good behaviour, given daddy/not daddy is doing it.
Then the wife / partner / wife of his or other's kids starts chipping in.
Lights turn green, nondescript people carriers gets a wheelspinning head start, and proceeds cutting me up several times, switching lanes, with the aforementioned male passenger leaning out of the window and mouthing off at me.
They eventually pull in to a petrol station and I continue on my merry way.
I fear those kids haven't had the best start in life...

Unfortunately this is an all too common tale, council macho man is like a coiled spring just cruising around looking for confrontation and hopefully a fight. I really don't understand why people are so aggressive, some of the posts here on PH are really quite concerning, driving with that level of anger is not going to end well.On my way to drop the car off at a garage, 7.50am approaching the Shepherd's Bush roundabout.

I spotted an old Citroen Xsara Picasso the other week, the type with the centre clocks and massive dash that forms as a shelf. The male driver was huge (fat) and right in front of him on the dash was one of those large buckets of chicken from KFC. I wish I could have got a photo but I was driving - not eating chicken.

You shouldn't have beeped your horn. It's illegal. The horn should only be used to say hello to friends you see in the street, or saying goodbye at 2.00am when leaving a friend's house. Everyone knows that.On my way to drop the car off at a garage, 7.50am approaching the Shepherd's Bush roundabout.

I am capable of violence if a situation requires it, I will defend my family, person or myself but that is once all other options are exhausted, so many seem to go to Defcom 1 for the smallest sleight, it always seems to rely on the other person not being like that as I guess most arent fighters, it is a dangerous game to play relying on others being passive to your aggressive, hence why videos where d
heads like that get snotted are so satisfying.Generally the main causes are cars, people are much more aggressive when holed up in a vehicle, and alcohol.
I asked someone in Holyhead to watch my car as they had just clouted it, resulted in being offered a fight ffs, me daring to politely ask not to have my property damaged and I get offered out, they need killing really

Indeed, it seems to be the default to resort immediately to threats of violence, if offended, inconvenienced or caught out on anything, someone beeping, being told off for dropping litter or practically anything that isn't overwhelmingly positive.
Yes I had a curious incident the other week at carfest of all places. You know, the festival that has a Joules children's shop at it. Whilst crossing the track with my wife a two young children behind me, somebody bumped into my shoulder. I didn't even give it a second thought, however the 5'9" 50 year old decided that I had somehow smited his manhood and proceeded to stop me, press the brim of his baseball cap into my forehead and offer to 'take me outside'. Quite ironic, seeing as we were stood in the middle of a field....Being the PBCD that I am, I laughed in his face and walked away, leaving him stood on his own, f'ing, blinding and shouting obscenities at me whilst surrounded by mothers and their children. Most curious, but I am sure he felt a much bigger man for it. I wonder if he resides in NPE??
