Well, it was £40, not 34p, but thrift isn't in-and-of itself council. It can be, but I wouldn't see it as necessarily so.
If it was £2 coins instead of receipts worth £2, would that make it any different?
I wouldn't say thrift is council... hell Bill Gates is still said to buy his vests from K-Mart. If it was £2 coins instead of receipts worth £2, would that make it any different?
But thrift without deriving any value is council. There's no point in spending a lot of time to save a few quid unless your time is worth less than a few quid. I'm all for getting a good deal, but I'll do a rough cost/benefits analysis in my head first. Some deals are not worth the time (and some are deceptive to begin with... like buying £3 worth of chocolates in a filling station to save £0.04p a litre, you need 75L to break even). Councilistas rarely do the numbers, being bad at maths is also pretty council.

The children appeared to have some well chosen names too, I counted an Ellie May, a Conner Bruce and a Jordan. 
I knew a Jordan at school. When in his mid twenties he got arrested for w
king in the passenger seat of a taxi whilst the fifty year old female driver was taking him home. Does that count as council?

It's 40 quid for a whole bunch of receipts. Each one is probably worth about 34p.But thrift without deriving any value is council.

EDIT: I quoted the wrong post, but it should be obvious who I was replying too.
It's not something I'm keen to do, but it's money the supermarket was apparently happy to give away, and money the customer was happy to throw away, so I'm happy that if someone has the energy to pick it up again, they should reap the benefit.
Not council for me. Enterprising.

Thought you had typed "wombing" - sounds a rather different and worrying thing altogether!mattyn1 said:

Love the top comment: Similar vacant expressions and plastic faces as the birds from Geordie Shore, minus the STD's, so can't be a bad thing.

The mother of 3. Someone fked that 3 times?!

The comments section has 3 supporting entries from the hen-pecked/bullied male partners.And then this little gem from a 'Colonel Mustard' (come on, that's really you Colonel C, isn't it?)
This matter needs to be discussed on loose women. I can only make a judgment after hearing from child rearing experts like Becky Vardy and Katie Price

I've not read the article because I won't click on a S*n link but Vimto is far from council. It's delicious stuff. Also available in sugar free so potentially a way around the ban?
Hmm. Not convinced. I think all branded squash apart from Robinson's Barley Water might be over the line...Ribena: yup
Um Bongo: no doubt
Vimto...

She added: “I’ll have to wait by the gates and Caitlin and Callum will have to come to me."Callum was diagnosed with autism two weeks ago and I’m worried that this might throw him a little.
Why do all these sorts of people have autistic children..?
