A bit council Vol 2
Discussion
I never know what's been posted previously, and be damned if I'm checking 19,998 odd posts, but generally, three storey houses, as per the above caravan pictures. It pains me, as there was a time not so long ago when I considered that square footage per £ made them seem a good bet.
My business sees me in customers houses daily, and I would say the majority of three storey houses are owned by council types. Most will feature one, more or all of the following. inspirational BS quotes on the walls. trillion inch TV's. Lime accessories or seen in every new build in the land arty wallpaper. Red or red and black mega high gloss kitchens. Featureless garden, which is usually either just a cats toilet or some where to dump the kids plastic toys. I could go on and on on these.

This is funny but true. The only new builds that don't have these things are the ones less than 12 months old whilst the owners do the snag list and wait for the walls to breathe before being allowed to decorate!!My business sees me in customers houses daily, and I would say the majority of three storey houses are owned by council types.

Since there's no "A bit cheap" thread I'll post this on here.
A few weeks ago I was on holiday in Malta with my dad and brother, having our evening meal in a restaurant because why not. About halfway through, an English family of about 6 came in ordered their food etc. We didn't pay them any attention until after they'd finished as the waitress came over and asked if our food was okay because apparently the food is terrible according to the big family. The food being so terrible they'd all actually finished their meals. Long story short, the parents ended up going to complain to the manager about the "bad" food, and then walked out happy as larry because they managed to get a discount on their bill.

Standard operating procedure for British scum, add in a claim for food poisoning from the hotel for the full council package.A few weeks ago I was on holiday in Malta with my dad and brother, having our evening meal in a restaurant because why not.

He ordered a lamb shank, I had the same thing. A waitress came over and asked me if mine was OK as the guy next to us had complained about his; he'd eaten all of it, I said it was great (it was) and told her that we'd overheard them discussing about complaining, before they'd even ordered.
Not sure what happened.
Took one of my children to a park today near my brothers house.
So many council points up for grabs
- Parents covered in tattoos. Many with their kids names in some scrawly script.
- Fat 'bingo wing' women wearing ill fitting sports direct clothing displaying a flabby camel toe that looked like a ripped cushion.
- Parents, mostly fat sitting on the kids swings smoking cigarettes.
- Parents yelling at their unruly offsprings instead of getting off their ass and playing with them etc.
- Offspring hell kids doing everything other than playing on the park stuff as intended - running up the slides stopping other children sliding down, t
tting a football around into the swings etc
- Parents drinking beers in the sun.
- Parents swearing at their kids. I actually heard one say 'Oi get over 'ere you little prick'!
- Crap council cars in the car park - Usual Vauxhall stuff as well as a fair sprinkling of smokey Skodas' and white work vans and 15 year old VW Passats.
- Dogs having a st on the sand
It was like a street scene from a Dickens novel; just missing the open sewers with turds floating past.
Never again. Made me realise how lucky we are living in a nicer area.

Did you see: Constantly on the phone and ignoring the children? ( almost certainly, I think).So many council points up for grabs

Here's a fess up to start the roundup of volume 2, so they disappear in to the midst.
Couldn't be bothered to cook so Chinese is ordered. Minor infringement
Visiting father-out-law decides to join me to collect.
Here he is (or rather here is his bottom half)
Yup, sat waiting in the takeaway in slippers

I've got a council double-bill coming up this week. Legoland on Wednesday followed by Chessington World of Adventures on Thursday.
The kids want to go and we are making the most of our Merlin passes (which won't be displayed on lanyards around our necks. That crap went in the bin straight away).
I may post late next week if I'm still sane.
