Council tendencies - most definitely but in effect the very antithesis of council

Sorry, weddings are council, unless you have the reception in Wetherspoons?

Yeah, surely he HAD to be kidding, Christ, I wouldn’t go in a Wetherspoons even to let them know they were on fire.
When we were married, in Brooksville FL. in 1994, including marriage licence, ceremony, and dinner that evening for us and our two witnesses, who flew down from New York, the total was around $1300, and that included buying my wife a suit at Neiman Marcus in Tampa FL.
Forget the flights from London, and the house rental, we were there on holiday anyway.

Rodent infestation: council.

Hangs head in shame, though in my defence the stupid puss brings em in and lets them loose. Had one living in a washing machine for a week.

Our washing machine broke. Got a chap in to fix it. He found the problem. A mole had died in it. Cats can me a menace.

Mice in the outbuildings are to be expected and the cat takes more than his quota.
We use peanut butter rather than nutella for the traps though.

Holding up a queue of waiting customers while you slowly put exactly £10 worth of petrol in you poxy fifteen year old Toyota. Come to that putting less than a tankful in anything you drive. Would you half charge a battery?

I have no doubt poor old C-Dog was on his way home from bible study when this incident happened.

I hope you too one day have to choose between filling your car and feeding your kids - and the fact they have a 15 year old Toyota would be taken by anyone with a smattering of intelligence as an indicator that the owner doesn't have a lot of money you sanctimonious tt

I would if charging made it heavier but why give fuel a free ride if it isn't needed for the trip? Just odding around, I run my car 1/3 full.

But these people never moan about the rising cost of fuel as it always cost them £10 regardless.

Remember, it’s not a lack of money that makes a person council, it’s the attitude.

I live in an affluent part of Cheshire and see a great deal of council behaviour, for example when orange people park their X5s on double yellows outside the nail parlour.

I find that argument hard to believe when I find said £10 fillers piling out of the service station with a pastie, Costa express and 2 KitKats (2 because they were 2 for £1.50). Especially when they spent 10 minutes arguing with the poor bloke behind the counter over their expired 4p off voucher.

I hate people who pissfart about at petrol stations, blocking the pumps for those who just want to fill up and move on with their lives.

This.

Council is not the absence of money, it's the absence of taste and common sense.

Or frequently driving demo vehicles ...

It's a challenge to see how little fuel can be left in it without it cutting out before the collection driver gets to the nearest fuel station.

Yes - unfortunately all too many entries in this thread are bashing people with little money for doing perfectly normal things like shopping at discount stores, rather than having a go at those exhibiting true 'council' behaviour

He said 'exactly' i.e. one of those plonkers who clicks the pump slowly to get it perfectly rounded up, which is a bit council if the petrol station is busy (unless you are truly autistic of whatever who has to get it right). He could have done £9.xx or a few pennies over.

Add to this those who choose not to 'pay at pump' when it is busy. There are queues you idiot, get your cigs elsewhere

Thank you Hyphen, that's the sort. I queued behind the aforementioned Toyota whilst I was in a hired van in a Devon service station on Monday and she was squirting a few pence worth in and stopping for whole ten pounds worth. I had two hundred miles to drive and was short of time anyway. MartG, you go for your gun so readily you'll shoot yourself in the foot one day. I, too, have had little money to spare and had to be careful, but being inconsiderate in the process is impolite.

I know she's been discussed numerous times, but apparently she is 'desperate' to know what is going on in Corrie, all whilst being banged up in a jail in Egypt for drug smuggling, you'd think she'd have bigger things to worry about than who Curly Watts is having an affair with.
