I've never understood Stone Island, very plain clothing apart from 'the badge'. Useful for identifying throbbers though. Never fails.
I do understand some of it. I've never owned it and wouldn't waste my money.I'm just about old enough to remember older cousins going through the football casual in the 80's stage the same ones are all into it. Stone Island is unique enough to be a look at me brand, overpriced but that's the point, are you in or are you out.
I'm out.

Never understood this branding crap. If I have their t shirt with massive logos on it then THEY should be paying ME for advertising!
Try and make them. You sound a bit entitled 
.THEY don’t need YOU.
I’m joking with you, don’t take it serious, I actually agree on big logos. But don’t take it serious, some brands aren’t particularly wanting you to wear their t-shirt and won’t worry about your refusal.
When did it become acceptable to put your child in the actual trolley in the supermarket when doing ones shopping, not the kiddies seat but the actual trolley, usually glued to an iPhone watching a video and we are talking kids of primary school age!
When I worked for Sainsburys as a student it was just not the done thing, no one did it and if you did, you were immediately told to stop by a member of staff, I'm seeing it more and more frequently and not from the type you may think.
When I looked after my grandson, when he was toddling about, he'd come to Sainsburys with me and I'd involve him in the shop, I'd ask him to grab stuff from the lower shelves, he'd help me push the trolley, it's just sad!

Also letting your kids eat stuff off the shelves and then paying for it( possibly) at the till .
I know what you mean but I can't get very worked up about it.I've a strong dislike of supermarkets and their manipulation. So if some wee lad or lass decides to eat I won't lose much sleep.
Getting annoyed about minor misdemeanours whilst ignoring the important ones isn't council but it's demonstrative of why there are worse things to be than council.

I remember sitting in the trolley as a kid, and I’m 51 now, so it’s probably been happening for a few years. I’ve also put my kids in the trolley. It’s easier than dragging them. Though I have had to abandon my trolley once when PB Jnr1 had a meltdown and carried her out of the shop under one arm.When I worked for Sainsburys as a student it was just not the done thing, no one did it and if you did, you were immediately told to stop by a member of staff, I'm seeing it more and more frequently and not from the type you may think.

I’ve also given my kids stuff to eat and then paid for it at the till. This to stave off the ensuing meltdown.
Before the obligatory Sanctimonious Parents step in, these are now well-adjusted kids who don’t always get what they want. Also we don’t all have grandparents on hand to help, or the ability to do stuff that needs to be done without taking our kids along.
However, I do live in Straya mate, and am clearly Council to the core.

The term "council" as we use it won't make much sense to Australians. Maybe bogan or flog would be a better fit!
