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.

I have no issue with this.

I once got stuck overnight at Stansted; went through as soon as Security opened (about 5.00am?) and there were people having breakfast with a pint of Stella

Me neither, it's a barely-guilty pleasure!

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

A fried egg with fish fingers????

It's dirty and skirts perilously close, but I don't think it's council.

It's also the only time that you're ever allowed to have (eat? use?) ketchup.

(and don't be starting with the whole ketchup/bacon butty argument that was clearly put to bed (it's wrong) several volumes ago).

What about fish fingers with ketchup, wtf? So wrong. Salad cream only, or "dressing" for the posh types.

Tartar Sauce elevates the humble fish finger sandwich to food of the Gods. Fact.

And salad cream had to be the most council of condiments.

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.

Middle aged bloke claiming a likeness to a MILFs darling daughter. Council ?

Pretty sure it's part of the travelling ritual. Passport, check. Cossie, check. Pint before takeoff regardless of time, check.

I went to a wedding in Italy with an aussie mate, I kept telling him regardless of the time, we'll walk in to the airport, get through security and see a sea of middle ages fat blokes drinking beer. He'd not believe it.

Sure enough, we got through and there they were. We join in, in spectacular fashion ordering the cheapest pint we could and enjoyed a FEB, followed by an other pint.

Years later and I still get a photo of him having a pint regardless of the time when he travels. The student becomes the master.

Time doesn’t matter in an airport. I always have a G&T at the airport, it’s a ritual that marks the commencement of the holiday.

Stansted Airport is so council that it makes me itch.

Grey fish fingers and a stale egg. Sub council.

That prize goes to tomato ketchup. Or if you are from Glasgow, "tam sauce"

Bonus points if it's on something inappropriate like pizza.

Try Luton. Or Doncaster Sheffield Airport (formerly Robin Hood Airport). Not a bad airport for a regional (easy parking close by, fairly spacious terminal) but the council factor is to the max.

This is the council thread after all, so I am happy with that and feel right at home . Tartar sauce doesn't have enough kick to it and you'd never find such posh condiments in the cupboards of a council house.

I’m not so sure. The existing rules are sufficient they just need to be enforced, anyone obviously intoxicated should not be allowed on an aircraft, simple as that. The best bit is that the airlines calling for changes all sell booze onboard and others allow people to pour their own drinks in their lounges. With this in mind the proposals are a bit of a joke really.

300m passengers flew through UK airports in 2018, there were 413 incidences of drunk behaviour that were recorded. I’d say the problem is more hype than problem.

You can see how much I want my G&T...

[Whistle]

Flying from Liverpool at 6 am on Monday to Malaga = Council
EasyJet = Council
Hand luggage only = Council

Don’t care as a flight to Spain for £23.00 is not to be missed, and I will spend a week in the old town soaking up Spanish culture.
