I found myself in Poundland on my lunch hour and thought of this thread when I spotted a 50 something year old woman stuffing what appeared to be most of her weekly shopping into her fake Louis Vuitton bag. Council.

I've since had some time to reflect on my own situation and reached the following conclusions:
1. Visiting Poundland on my lunch hour. Council.
2. Being restricted to a lunch hour. Council.
Eyeing up old council filth ... Epic lmao

Not this again!

For the avoidance of doubt, Aldi/Lidl are not council!
The quality of their food / drink is not council, the majority of people in there are though.

Popped in yesterday afternoon, thinking it would be quiet; was full of council & feral types.
People tend to shop locally. So your experience says more about your area than Aldi.
Going to a supermarket rather than getting it delivered at your convenience. Council.
Frivolously using a dearer supermarket because you're too lazy to get off your fat arse to go to an (arguably) better quality supermarket, and save money doing so. Council.
Having nothing better to do with your time than trapse around a supermarket. Council.
Having no desire to assure the quality and date-age of one's purchases, council
hehe fair point

one evening and each saturday I devote hours of my time, running my children to ballet/dance lessons. This means time to kill. adjacent to the school is an Aldi. Because of the dance school, at these times, its rammed with posh milf's doing a bit of shopping, whilst they await their darling daughter's, like myself.

The car park is full of SUV's (what else) with expensive plates. There is even one mum with a plate worth £93K. someone looked it up for me on here !!

I will be calling in tonight, as I have 30 mins to waste. I will buy one tube of toothpaste as we seem to be about to run out.

Aldi/lidl are brilliant. And the shoppers inside depend on circumstances is my view !

As noted before, Aldi/Lidl themselves cannot be council. Council is a state that exists between the people and object/place. For example a massive TV is council when used in a 2m x 2m lounge, but possibly okay an a larger situation. This will also be exasperated by what is being viewed on the TV. If it is gogglebox for example then it is assumed to be council unless proven otherwise. wink

I travel regularly with work & visiting supermarkets is all part of my research; I am yet to find a discounter not full of council regardless of time shopping.

Kantar shows demographic profiles of Aldi & Lidl aligned to the UK norm, Tesco, which is in itself council. However the increase in feral kids & undesirables in the discounters increases exponentially, regardless of where you live. Wokingham & Winchester are no better than more council places to live when these stores are concerned.

Council is putting up with the queuing experience which negates any benefit / enjoyment from the quality of certain lines of food & beverage.

You've got to be hard-core council to face a pint of StrongBow at 9am.. any day of the week.

...Comic Sans font on your pub windows? Council.

I initially mis-read the window message as saying 'Nice fried atmosphere...'
Clothes stinking of frying fumes? - council!

We go to a local hotel for breakfast one day a month.

There'll always be at least one person at the bar having a pint.

Morning drinking is AMAZING.

Your judgments are all perfectly correct.

Correct. Seems a horrible idea until you try it, and then you discover it is actually amazing.

Probably best not to make too much of a habit of it though.

I first tried it in Spain in the late 90’s. it’s actually very common there for working folks to have some brandy on their way into their workday.

I hereby claim this thread as my own.

The other day I went bingo.

And no, I don’t mean I went to the bingo because that’s not how you say it.
You don’t go to the bingo, you “go bingo” & I went bingo, and I liked it.

When I first started dating my now wife she took me to Mecca Bingo in Gateshead and I won £10k ... My annual salary at the time was £19k ... We went back a couple of times after that but I won nothing other than a couple of small appliances and a Wheely trolley suitcase

Bingo can be awesome

If we’re confessing, I must admit I do like a fish finger sandwich. Not even posh ‘plaice goujons on ciabatta with fresh tartar sauce’, but regular Bird Eye Cod Fish Fingers on white bread with ketchup. I just can’t help it.

oooh, la-di-dah Birdseye.
Not even the cheapest ownbrand that look sort of grey and fall to bits.
Too posh for council.



Love a council tea, fish fingers, chips and beans with a fried egg. Wonderful.
