They're not council, they're s. Standard fare behaviour for "dat lot". To be sure. So it is.

A King’s Lynn driver has been fined for fitting flashing blue lights, similar to that on emergency vehicles, in the grille of his girlfriend’s Ford Mondeo.

I thought you lot would like it.

Should this be the time I tell you that I use to see him in the pub sometimes ?

There was a bar called 'Flappers' that use to do 99p pints 8-10pm on a Friday and Saturday night. He use to turn up wearing his hi viz jacket, not sure whether he had just come from work.

As it says in the article he is well known for his karaoke - he once suggested he was going to audition for X factor. Don't know if he ever did or not but it would have made him even more famous than he is now.
I meet a lot of full time unemployed people, who don works hi viz tabbards, or works jackets. two theories- it makes them look like they have a job.

secondly the free coat provided by an employer, decades ago, for the one week of work they ever did: is the only coat they own.

That’s one of the best I’ve seen yet. He comes back from holiday, manages to have been to the pub TWICE by lunchtime, and then complains that his Income Support payments aren’t going to cover drinking at more expensive pubs!
having just returned from a Holiday in Benalmadena... arguably a council destination but not the cheapest resort in Spain by a long way.

Thirdly, also hiding in plain sight while they nick anything that’s not nailed down. See also, Orange lights on top of van

"The wean".

I had the misfortune to take a bus today, and overheard someone at the stop talking repeatedly about getting 'the wean' from school. Then when on the bus the guy behind me took a call and did exactly the same.

Not calling your children by their actual name. Cooncil.

Lumps of "brown" sugar in a bag of granulated. Lazy s who use the WET coffee spoon to then double-dip and get sugar. Always a council kitchen.
Once the bag is left with clumps, put it in the microwave and there's another coffee made. Even drink it from the bag. Bingo!

Taking, or making, a call on public transport. Council (and other social strata), on so many levels.

Most of Glasgow is cooncil as fk but not all. But scheme taxis, especially to the hospital are pure bred cooncil. Having said that these buses now have wifi, USB charging, leather seats and contactless payment, so even cooncil is moving up in the world.

This line....
The mice have even wrecked her new £499 silver, crushed velvet sofa – making watching TV impossible.laugh sums it up for me

I guess if she had accpeted the help offered by the council it would have all been sorted a long time ago, but no chance of a compo face photo in the paper that way!
Guess the next thing she will be trying to claim compo rolleyes

What were they going to eat the next day. Why is it poor people always buy takeaways, 37 quid a lidl would last a week.

£37 of dominos would probably last 3 people a week too!

You're joking right? Have you see their prices? £37 sounds about right for a single 11" thin base margherita! hehe
