Discussion
FFS, arguing with a main dealer because they did a factory software update to your car..................Compensation isn't good enough, I want a new car instead.

To be honest I am with her.
Bang out of order to do the VAG cheating emissions fix on her car without permission. If it does have reported issues of more mpg/reduced performance and other issues as she is claiming then they should compensate her.
Not come across her name before though? Sheelagh, is it a traditional scot/irish name or some council made up one?

No idea if this a national trend and has already been mentioned or one-off council insanity, but the woman in front of me at the petrol station asked for twenty fags then turned down the first box that was given to her because she didn't like the picture on it. The anti-smoking picture.

She doesn't want a new car, she wants her car returned to the more drivable original 'road' map rather than one that scores high on the rolling road economy test. And bloody right too. They're refusing to do it so fine, replace the car then.http://www.examiner.co.uk/news/car-dealer-installe...
Only on Pistonheads could a woman who buys a £22K car and is sufficiently clued up to know that remapping it to suit a theoretical rolling road economy test rather than the original 'road' mapping is going to make the car worse be referred to as 'council'.
RIP the Cringe thread...
Next time you're using Facebook (council, obviously), have a look out for the EE adverts for the new iPhone 8/8+/X and read the comments. They're f*cking hilarious and some of the most power-council stuff I've ever read on the Internet.
It's basically people just complaining that EE won't let them have a new 8/8+/X for free before the end of their contract. Proper, serious, foaming at the mouth with the lots of shouting about EE being greedy and not rewarding loyal customers who have been with them for a few years.
I feel that if the postees were honest, they'd actually write: "I sold a couple of my children to be able to get an iPhone 7 on contract when it first came out. My friends were incredibly impressed but now nobody cares about it. I can't afford to buy the new 8/X so I'd very much appreciate it if you could send me one for no cost. If you could also lower the price of my contract, that would be wonderful. Warm regards, Fruitella."

I'm not certain that isn't just a streak in humanity generally.....
I frequent a rugby club supporters website - and every time there is an event at the ground, be it a concert or a do, or away travel or whatever they kick off that season ticket holders don't get it for free - 'whats the point of being a loyal season ticket holder' etc etc (apart from the guaranteed same seat, and a discount on your entry and priority booking for important cup games etc not part of the package)
All from mostly well educated middle class people.
It's not exclusively 'council' in my experience

Watching the lad (12) play football at the weekend, Sunday lunchtime game, at the less salubrious side of town. Well f
k me, it was like Mos Eisley.
Mixture of:
Dads nipping over to the pub for a quick couple of pints during the first half. Then coming back a bit shouty, swearing, and then driving home (plus kids) natch.
Older brothers (so around 14, 15) swearing loudly whilst bored and drinking Red Bull by the gallon, and leaving the cans everywhere.
Mums moaning loudly about CSA payments not being enough to cover football boots etc.
All parent moaning that the subs are a whole £6/wk (up from £5 last season). Not remembering that pays for snacks, drinks, kit, facilities, entry in to the league etc.
The names, oh god the NAMES. So many surnames as first names - Morgan, Tye, Tyler, Dylan, MacKenzy, Flynn.
Parents leaving rubbish all along the touchline, because it's easier to walk left to the car than right to the bins next to the pavilion.
Parents abandoning Picassos, L200s etc all over the car park, blocking each other in, parking on the green areas etc.
And I'm sure I smelled someone smoking a joint.
I felt council by association. I got home in such a bad mood...
It's not kids that are council, I don't think. It's parents.
