Well I think it's council and frankly I couldn't give a fk what you all think. You probably all like Simply Red too.

What make is your dishwasher OB? Any answer other than Miele marks you down as a council arriviste I use Spontex brand dishwashing sponges, slightly more expensive I know but quality never comes cheap.

Of course Miele. I shall custard proof later. Or maybe tomorrow, as I have no custard in the house. (My father was a Miele repair man back in the 80s, I have been brought up to use nothing else!)

Must have been thin gruel in your house?

Was he at home a lot, getting in the way?

To be fair their stuff isn't 100% reliable. On my Miele washing machine the door open button has broken and you have to use the emergency release each time. It is only 27 years old! They don't make them like they used to.

I have a dishwasher but I like washing up. I sometimes find the dishwasher misses bits or leaves a film on plates and bowls and it’s not a cheap machine either.

I also like giving the house a vacuum and putting lines in the carpets. Guess that is also council

WTF, does that include loads of heavy furniture?

Unlikely - furniture doesn't tend to be very dense

My sofa didn't even get a GCSE in media studies.

The majority of it newspapers, piled up floor to ceiling for decades (1972 was the oldest I spotted).
Add to this that the place was a wreck, when it rained outside it basically rained inside, everything had become soaked and compressed down, he'd then added more to the tops of the piles.
We had to prop all the ceilings downstairs as they were sagging so dangerously.

Right in the middle of a beautiful Mews in a very posh part of London, the place will be worth a fortune once its refurbed.

he had a sword collection (obviously) on the wall. all very sad.

I had to visit a house in Fife some years ago. It also had a sword collection on the walls of a small room. Hundreds of them and pikes and battleaxes too. Broomhall House, the seat of the Earls of Elgin. Not council.

Did you play with his marbles while you were there?

I've never bothered buying a dishwasher I live alone

Nuff said!

Living alone... is that a bit council?

Why did that make me giggle when I first read it ?

Advice needed chaps, has my Mrs gone council ?
She has got so lazy, she buys clothes from charity shops ON LINE and I have the embarrassment of accepting packages with said charity name splattered all over the package .

If that beautiful little girl, Kaitlyn, (I refuse to use the crap version her parents came up with), doesn’t stab her parents to death by age 11, and get exonerated by a jury of her peers, then there’s no such thing as British justice.

Since VIII doesn't translate at 'eight' she'll be even more pissed off when she works out her name is Koctolyn.

Well to be fair in Queensland there probably isn't.

Once again I’m hoisted on my own petard by reading at the speed of light, and subsequently missing out on vital bits of information.
Gold Coast too, I drove there for a couple of days, when staying at my son’s place in Algester, south of Brisbane QLD.

Dunno about council, but is she displaying any other worrying psychological traits or other recent behaviour changes? (Genuine question)

You can't make proper artisan chips without a Magimix deep fat fryer..........draining and filtering the oil between uses, obvs.

Artisan and chips, two words that should never be together

[kowalski655]

Outdoor launderettes
Not only not having a washing machine at home, even one from BrightHouse, but having to stand in the pissing rain while the cycle completes.
Still,handy for washing anti climb paint off your hoodie at 4am in case the cops stop you.

I was being ironic. It seems that someone with an arty beard can put the word 'artisan' in front of anything, and then sell it to other beardy types for twice it’s value.

My chips are just chips.... although I do deep fry them in a Magimix.

Agreed. There's a new artisan baker here in Leigh on sea (best place to live in the UK apparently). Personally I can't see what's artisan about it. It seems the same over priced tosh all the other posh shops sell here.
Sadly there are a lot of council visitors here from BasVegas and it's environs

Happiest place, I think, not best. I don't know why that is. Perhaps it's all the cockles.

People that still use cash.

I never favoured it, but I can substantiate that it was in popular use in London 20-25 years back.

[Deesee]

Na, have gone back to cash, prefer if to be honest.
