A bit council Vol 2

[Morningside]

Having a wheelie bin covered in some flower, hedge, sky, dog pattern from sticky plastic that has started to peel. Sorry but it looks worse than just having an old blue bin.

If I could have taken a photo I would have, but I was driving.

Battered white van, graffiti style business logo, parked on the grass (in a council estate) could have gone in a few threads on here.

I agree with the sentiment but you see it on businesses seemingly far higher up the food chain than one man band builders, even sometimes a web address of the form www.jbloggspropmain.co.uk followed by a hotmail address.

[Jimmy Recard]

It may be council or not, but doing a bit of property maintenance as a sole trader working alone or maybe with a cash-in-hand labourer, I think I'd do the same for an email address. One of the common, free services anyway

I've made some assumptions about this Joe Bloggs, but probably fairly accurate

I was following a van today and the back was plastered with a graphic advertising flat pack assembly services. I wasn't sure if not assembling your own flat-pack was a first world problem, middle class problem or council. I was thinking there can't be much money/customers in that.

When I focused back, I noticed it wasn't on a van but on a shonky looking mpv.
A VW Sharan in Beige.

Seen a couple of these ... think they span the social divide tbh

Buying flat pack furniture is probably council, being so lazy that you pay someone to do it? Definitely council

If you're elderly and arthritic or disabled it's acceptable, I'd say

I reckon I could make a few quid doing this at the weekend. Little bit extra beer money perhaps?

[Mr Gearchange]

So setting up your own business is now council?

I would have thought that having the wherewithal to get off your arse and earn a living is the antithesis of council?

Is 'Council' now anyone I can look down upon who isn't doing as well as I am financially?

Close - 'Council' is now basically anyone, at least by the standards of here

Not really lazy, if you can afford to pay someone to do it then why not?

My missus loves Ikea (Council obvs), but I absolutely hate building it, I would happily pay someone 50 quid to put it together.

It's not lazy to pay someone else to do something easy that doesn't really take very long?

I don't have any flat pack furniture now but I used to and even the difficult stuff was really easy and I didn't need to pay someone to sit in my bedroom building my stuff

As the weather warms up - rusty Transit type van, shirtless driver.

I had some JL shelves delivered. Need assembly.

I should have paid someone and had the 3 hrs with my daughter instead, because life is too short.

A girl I work with had one of these delivered to the office. She needed me to assemble it for her!

Woodlands closed because of dogging and drug use. Mmmmm council proper.

Not realising that a female colleague intends to invite you to her house to 'stick it up for her'
Council.
( not really council, just trying to shoehorn a joke in)
