Council. Or in the style of Mike Oldfield (in which case, derivative, therefore Council) 
In the last day or so, I mentioned that Zafiras were in my opinion, Council. To illustrate the point I used a photo of a modified Zafira GSI. I must apologise, it didn't do justice to the true Council potential of the Zafira. Fortunately Shannon is selling her 1.6 Zafira that allows me to illustrate my point better.

I went to Wythenshawe "Civic Centre" on Saturday, it isnt far from where I live and it was suggested by my mate as I needed some new trainers (sorry, but cant really where brown brogues on holiday). Now, I have previous in this area, my grandparents lived maybe 200 yards from "Civic" when I was a kid so this may be tinged with nostalgia.
Ok, its council, but not overtly so,it was actually very pleasant and vibrant, loads of shops selling some pretty good stuff at good prices, I had a chicken kebab for lunch from a stall in the undercover market, its was lovely, helped that it was sunny, my memories are of grey eighties days, cone of chips from the chippy, go and have a look in NSS (think Woolies) get a computer game (3D Ant Attack), then maybe a Slush Puppie. The a trip round the market, that used to be ace as a kid, its a pale shadow of its former self, used to bustle, now its tiny and stuck out of the way, oh and Spinks the bakers seems to have gone, they used to do Vanilla slices double the size of the ones you get now, and like Tacos, completely impossible to eat, who would design two rigid pastry structures with loads of viscous custard between ? it just shoots out the side.
The council aspect was mainly down to hoards of massive people on mobility scooters vaping for all they were worth, it reminded me somewhat of a wild west locomotive ascending a steep grade such was the cloud left behind, some folk did look like a slightly separate species, Homo-Boselectaris we shall call them, small, dumpy, big thick glasses.
But otherwise, a successful trip, I even parked opposite my grandparents old house, the road still looks spookily similar to when they left in 1983.
No stray dogs now, so no white dog s
t either, I mentioned the mobility scooters, they replaced the little blue chariots and are way more numerous.
Its weird, expected uber council, and it wasnt any more than anywhere else.
You are bang on about Wythenshawe, I think there is a good vibe about the centre at the weekends and they look after the amenities properly. The surrounding estate itself is 90%+ people just trying to get on with it - the rest give it a bad name. And the estate has a knack of producing some good musicians amongst other things. I have to say this through gritted teeth as I'm not from that side of Manchester originally and had the same assumptionsOk, its council, but not overtly so,it was actually very pleasant and vibrant, loads of shops selling some pretty good stuff at good prices, I had a chicken kebab for lunch from a stall in the undercover market, its was lovely, helped that it was sunny, my memories are of grey eighties days, cone of chips from the chippy, go and have a look in NSS (think Woolies) get a computer game (3D Ant Attack), then maybe a Slush Puppie.

i'm currently dealing with a family.
a child is called Hermione Skylar
what, one of you liked Harry Potter, the other Breaking bad ?
obviously double barrelled, but unmarried parents for a surname. Parents are naturally bat sh i t mental. No one works of course.
Bonus council points there, for the surname and living in rented accomm. A double barrelled surname is only acceptable if you own half of Yorkshire/Scotland and drive around in a battered Volvo estate, penniless.

That did make me chuckle as I thought exactly the same before I'd read it.a child is called Hermione Skylar

It is a worry what some people call their kids.

This double-barrelled surname thing has really caught on. I watched an under-19 football match the other day and there was barely enough room on the shirt for the surnames. Must have been the busiest transfer printer in the world that day.a child is called Hermione Skylar

As our resident expert, answer me this. Is it something to do with child support? By naming the absent father by including his surname on the registrar's form, a sort of permanent reminder to the scrote that had his way and b*ggered off? Or just a current fashion, the fad-of-the-moment for the underclass?

At least she recognises her status and has it across the back window there.. The Lower Class.
but at an asking price of £850.. I rather feel I let a Zafira that I had for a while go for less money than it was worth, although I hadn't done any modifications to it except for cleaning it. Should have tried to sell the replacement exhaust as "aftermarket" perhaps?

Unless you lived on a farm why would you buy a Defender, when a LandCruiser does everything it does, but better?
Pedantry alert: if the Landcruiser does everything a Defender does, but better, surely if you lived on a farm you would buy a Landcruiser?But I did notice that the gamekeepers on my favorite estate drive Toyota pickups rather than Defenders and have done for a good few years.

I was about to lay into you over battered Volvo Estates not being Council, then I actually read your post properly
