Here's the offending picture of the house with the "Costco garden"

Sadly it's all fixed in.

Truly awful.

Don't forget being overgrown. For obvious reasons I'm not going to post a photo, but my neighbour's garden ticks all of these boxes, complete with a pile of random junk at the bottom.

At least one supermarket trolley is required for authenticity.

Pretty awful, possibly. Council - how can it be? There's evidence of work and investment, and it's clean, tidy and presentable.

I don't think it qualifies TBH.

I should have introduced the backstory. I viewed the property, it has had £10k spent on that st garden, but it has no working toilet upstairs (they rely on the downstairs toilet by the kitchen), handles all broken, and the walk in wardrobe is damaged!!!

Handles all broken is odd but hardly 'uber cooncil'

Can we add Rattan patio furniture to this thread yet? Everyone seems to have it.

I'm sure these have popped up every 3 pages or so, but Zafiras. I had a complete belter in a GSI version covered in crap stickers and other tat come hoofing past me in a 30 earlier. Knuckle dragging mouth breather had obviously not noticed the red light 50 metres ahead and had to perform a comedy emergency stop. All of which led to an old boy on the pavement who must have been mid 60's to shake his head and give the bloke the obligatory wker gesture. It's a real shame the built in immolation device Vauxhall put in these things hasn't removed them all from the road.
Prime example of Council Wagon below. I'd rather st in my hands and clap than drive a Zafira.
And while I'm at it, the swapz website is positively dripping Council.

Jeep of some sort, for extra council points that house with the Frontier and Jeep also has a Pontiac of some description, and some more points are collected due to the "drive" that both the Jeep and Frontier being on, not having a dropped curb.

The Scheme (Best of)


Poor kids..
Well worth digging out the whole thing if anyone hasn't seen it. The later episodes air dates had to be put back because of a legal/court issue raised in the programme. Don't get much more cooncil than that.

Just because it's popular doesn't mean 'council'.

It's great for the british weather, easily Karcher'd off winter grime and still looks good several years down the line.

Getting it on credit or payday loan would be, however. It's a tightrope...

Your banking on people going to the trouble of keeping it clean and washing the mould off it after winter. I expect to see it appear again on this list by the end of next summer, along with punctured paddling pools from the previous summer, and still having last years Christmas lights on the outside of the house.
