[DodgyGeezer]

Arguing with strangers on the Internet - yup, council.


Anywho, also council is this...

Certainly captures the essence of the day.

Thinking council is an insult? …

I am council and proud of it by the way, I’ve avoided replying to my question.

You're new here. You'll understand the ironic tone of the thread soon enough.

Being condescending; council

Impressive levels of condescension. I see what you did there.

If we can’t have a laugh what’s the fking point, I admire your insincerity and will struggle to emulate it.

Why is someone renting 'less fortunate' by definition?

I’d bet the people who can afford to rent the houses (there are 2 of them) near us that are up for $3k (so about £1.6k) per week each aren’t “less fortunate”!

Mind you the houses were built as part of a TV show, and are fking hideous, so they will definitely be council

And some fine young prick is earning three k a month by owning something he expunged no effort in doing so.

I know it’s an unfair system but ladder pullers are beneath contempt.

Take that crap to the proper thread, you're spoiling this one.

Am I missing something here? Surely the people who bought the house (aka landlords) have had to find the money to fund the purchase, so there is some work gone into it as well as risk. @cheese - your anti landlord comments do come across as very prejudiced.

My first ones were hand me downs in the 70’s. Red with the blue double piping is one I remember. From my older cousins. I still buy them. I’ve the black one with the yellow piping and it annoyed me that in the US it has become associated with the MAGA lot but I’ll still wear it and not allow them to appropriate. Small time wins, don’t let other people’s perceptions divert from what you want to wear.

Cheap branded Armani is a different kettle of fish than Fred. As is Lacoste anything , don’t get me started on how council white Lacoste trainers are lol.

Adding lol to the end of sentences that would never end with somebody laughing out loud. Council.

There seems to be a real swell of jealousy against Landlords at the moment. As you say, folks don't seem to realise, or care, that the landlords have worked and saved to purchase those properties. I advise many landlords to put their properties across to company lets for supported living these days. Hard for the holier than thou, eat the rich types to argue against it, and it protects the landlords from tenants.

In my experience, the vast majority have a property that they have a mortgage on (whether a legitimate BtL or not) and are in the game hoping that other people will eventually buy them a property.

I am sure that many similar types on PH see themselves as princes amongst men, but I do not hold them in high regard either - mostly as a result of their attitudes, practices and behaviour. I am sure that there are decent people who this summary describes too, but I am yet to see one.

This is normally a great humerous thread
It would be nice if it could continue in that style

After a quick trip to Morrisons this morning and then a walk along the seafront … Mother’s Day - council.
