A bit council (Vol 4)

[Steve vRS]

Yup. My point entirely, you may not have a lot of money but you can treat others well and be a productive member of society.

Who said anything about money?

Watching CBeebies....

I watched CBeebies with both my kids as they were growing up. It allowed interaction rather than using the TV as a baby sitting service. Not council.

That's a very conflicting post, how were you interacting and letting them watch the telly? You either do one or the other.

Being 'Council' on here is a more modern way of saying 'Chav', but Chav didn't depend on wealth; you could be a rich chav.
Correct me if i'm wrong, but can you be rich Council?

No it's not. You have obvioulsy never watched CBBC. Plenty interaction with your kids while watching it.

We can’t say chav or pie key anymore so we use council.

No that's wrong, you can use Chav all you like, it's just outdated so we use Council instead and that is where the arguments start.

No i'm not Council enough to have watched it, but I can spell obviously.

Yes. It is entertaining.

Conflating CBBC with CBebies, council.

iPad mini actually and yes she does have access to her own iPad for a max of 1hr per day - it’s a great learning tool and recommended by her school as they also use them for the JollyPhonics and a couple of other learning tools.

What’s your point dear??

Powercouncil. The only reason you gave your spawn a tablet is so you could keep the brat quiet whilst you enjoy your Stella and wife-punching sessions

Not quite. My Mrs interacts with me when I am/we are watching a movie - normally when she looks up from FB on her phone and asks "who is that" etc.

Arguing online... council

Goes on a bit, but the gist is that bloke buys a mini pool thing, punctures it, tries to take it back, gets ‘treated like a shoplifter’.

Gloucester is going to get a nomination for being 'Council' at this rate - thats two stories from gloucestershirelive, and again the below the line comments do not fail to deliver:

"Can't believe it, I had the very same problem....until my wife stopped swimming with her stilettos on!"

"Put it down to experience mate, get yourself down the pub and have a shandy. "

...and some rambellings about buying a car...

What do you mean? Gloucester IS council. Cheltenham, however, is very nice

Being council is absolutely nothing to do with how much money you have, where you were born or what your parents did for a living.

Being council is a state of mind.

Working class traditionally couldn't afford housing, this is why post war after the working class slums were pulled down, Bevan gave them council estates.

I absolutely disagree.

My grandparents are a prime example - born in 1918 (both of them, they were childhood sweethearts).

Lived in Rossendale, grandma worked in a mill, grandad made shuttles for said mill. My grandma wanted to be a teacher, but couldn't as her parents were too poor. Very clever lady too. They were poor by any modern definition, my mum was brought up in this household. Outside toilet. But everything was spick and span, they saved for everything, swept the road outside their house etc etc. It was another world.

That's working class by my definition. There was not one aspect of them that was council.

(As an aside - my grandma died in 2011, she left me a little money. I put this toward a new Yamaha R1 (she always liked my bikes). Said R1 was later stolen - I will bet my house that it was stolen by someone off a council estate.)

I watch The Clangers on CBeebies. I'm 51 and have no children.

The Clangers are not council.

both can live their lives how they want as long as they don't try to irritate mine. as much as I'm not a fan of dinner plates that say 'BREAKFAST LUNCH DINNER' on them i'm doing going to give a crap wondering how many people on my street have one.

Shouldn't that be BREAKFAST DINNER TEA?
