Queuing to pay?

Thats an improvement from the one and only time I bothered to go. Seeing people queuing to be actually allowed to get into the shop itself was hilarious hehe
Yes, that is still a thing. hehe I just didn't go in shops that had a queue to get in the door. In fact, Ralph Lauren did at first, but when I went back the crowds had dissipated. biggrin

Only if it is very obviously branded, a discreet logo should be fine.

There's another McArthur Glenn outlet here in Ashford, and there Ralph Lauren shop there often has a queue of people waiting to get in. It's the only shop there that has a queuing system; is it really that popular of a shop?

Yep.

Strangely enough though a lot of the stuff in there has never been anywhere close to a Ralph Lauren shop and is made specifically (and cheaply!) for these outlet type places.

Controversial possibly but I'd like to nominate sports bike owners. I'm talking GSXRs, Hyabusas and the like. They all seem to be absolute muppets with fewer braincells than wheels on their bikes.
Yep, double council if "kept" on the front garden, ridden whilst wearing a vest, Monster/The Doctor stickers, and normally dented or scuffed.

I might as well get some bags of dog poo and a trampoline for the lawn....

From the Crappy Numberplates thread - this is absolutely off-scale council, and also proof that "the council" is actually a state of mind, not actually "council house"



I am prepared to bet my house that there is a wall with a dreadful cursive quote about "love and life" in there.

Love Island.

Im suprised I havent mentioned this steaming pile of st that happens to be a TV programme.
I haven't even seen it yet but every news site that isn't the BBC (but mainly right wing newspapers for the dumb (the Daily Mail) seems to be reporting this ridiculous bullst that seems to be dragging our criminally retarded British citizens even further to the kennel. Seriously, the amount of fking bullst spouted by the Botox injected plastic monstrosities seems to be injecting our retarded citizens of Britain with an disablity - sorry, inability - to decide what is fking fake and what fking isn't. And our clueless citizens don't know why our country's reputation is tarnished? Because Chav Island embodies just about everything that's wrong with our fking country. The vocabulary of the fking dumb s that are on Love Island tells us all about our council country. "Bruv", "fam", "peng", "bare", "reem" has all spread from the fking diseased s on Love Island and previous, equally fking st, shows that have been broadcast on our televisions. Is this what John Logie Baird put hundreds of man hours into making? For some fking idiots to show of their plastic tits and dicks to millions of equally fking idiots over his invention? Being council is a disease that has spread thanks to John fking Logie Baird. Literally, if you walked down the fking street now, in a city area, and you heard someone talking NORMALLY, you would think they went to fking Oxford. I'm glad that Piers Morgan agrees with me, even though Piers Morgan is a fking idiot, and I fking hate Piers Morgan, but today, I will respect Piers Morgan, even though he's a fking idiot.

To anyone who watches/watched this show, to put it lightly, you're a fking idiot.
You seriously wrote that post to say that Love Island is responsible for poor vocabulary and that those in it were council? Your post is far worse than anything that was on Love Island. Maybe I am missing some sort of irony and due a whoosh parrot.

PS. I think you suggest that the BBC didn't cover it. Wrong there too. I was intrigued by the BBC's coverage of the early episodes, so agreed with the wife that it was worth a watch. It was.

Bizarrely the last time I went to Bicester Village (admittedly quite a few years ago) the only shop with a queue outside and a doorman/one-in-one-out policy was Clarks shoes. It would appear the Chinese love them!

Show homes really take it to a new level.

There's a Miller development near me and the dining room chairs actually have door knockers on the back of them. I obviously took the opportunity to make the obligatory and clearly hilarious 'nice knockers' remark to the staff. I was told, without a hint of irony, that yes they are very popular, indeed more so now as they have appeared on Emmerdale.

There is also a show house not too far away that has divorce wallpaper in it. As in the whole house. It's quite subtle - you don't notice it at first until you take the time to read it. It's kind of the anti 'script on wall' pictured above, which is ironic given that both are likely to be owned by a prosecco sodden woman of a certain age...

It's very odd. I can sort of understand being excited about and documenting the building of a new home, but they now seem to be going to great lengths to reproduce an exact replica of the sort of decor and tat you usually only see in show homes. I hope they've got fake televisions and computers in some rooms and a bin of plastic shoe covers by the door.

Oi, don't start on show homes ! laugh Our house used to be a show home (we are the 2nd owners) and besides the abundance of light fittings and overly large mirrors you'd never know. Mind you, the previous owners bought the house complete with all the show home contents originally. From what we have seen of the original pictures, they just moved themselves and their clothes in. Fairly odd, given that 2 of the rooms were kitted out as childs bedrooms and they didn't actually have any kids. Then when they moved out, they took all of the show home furniture, curtains, blinds etc with them. They did, however, leave us a filthy house with crap and mould encrusted toilet seats among the many delights. Even though he was a bank manager and she was some office bint, and the house is a nice 4 bed semi in a good area, they were both council of the highest order.

It's a bit of a 70s remark, so it might be lost on most people under 35 I'd have thought.

I haven't heard fun bags referred to as knockers for years tbh.
