Blasting one's horn when departing a house as if to say 'goodbye', whilst you are looking at the person and waving goodbye. Utterly common and unnecessary.

Or to tell people you have arrived and are waiting outside for them...that doorbell is a l o n g way away.

Both boil my piss.
!?
There's an obnoxious cow visits the old lady over the road and drives a Volvo S40. Have you heard how loud the horn is on those things??

I think this is just "Things that annoy you" as opposed to being Council. Posh people can be dim too.

Yes, perhaps you're right. The woman in question is rather council, though. Tough venn diagram.

Do I need glasses or is that really a light up sparkly banister rail

I beep the horn after dropping my kids off at my ex’s house. I only do it because it winds her up.

Why is a different angle from the stairs?

If that was like one of those glittery lava lamps that would be quite coo…. I mean council.

Is there any scientific correlation between councilness and the size of the vape chamber?

Massive huge vapes the size of a bucket seem to be the preserve of council types, although there is a fair bit of beardy hipster cross over.

House not meeting basic building regs - council.

I think you'll find the level of council is commensurate with the size of the vape cloud, rather than the size of the 'tank'.

Painting around things rather than removing things, e.g., when painting a door not removing the door handles, knocker, letter box etc. Council.

Exactly that, minimum effort wherever possible, even if the extra effort in a minute or two

It was in the 90’s with the bbc “ changing rooms” programmes that we really started to see wide spread damage to houses

Literally painting over everything: light switches, sockets, upvc cills. Cladding everything

Ah fun times. Remember my mum doing the sponging dabbing painting thing - everyone was doing it

The seller is the same guy that removed all the bannisters at the top to open up space on the landing... if you know, you know.

LOL. Yes, had a few mates from school who's houses had that, and down the stairs. Was bloody disconcerting.

Always makes me burst out laughing seeing a huge cloud exiting the drivers window as though they have just set their car on fire.

I've never seen lino flooring used on walls before either... Using you left over flooring on your walls = council

Perhaps for the things you always wanted to know thread, but why do fat birds always go for skinny blokes and vice versa?

Mate years ago was 10st soaking wet and his girlfriend at least double. And he worked with a chap who bought specialist jazz mags full of the fuller figured lady.

You know how sleeping under a heavy feather duvet is comforting...

Saw this petrol BMW 3 series with rare factory option smoke screen / spy edition activated. Had to pass it as was getting choked with fumes. He then was behind me for about 6 miles. Safe to say this car's days are numbered but while it lasts the driver is getting max council points.

I was at a retirement do at my old workplace. One of my former colleagues was talking to me and said he heard I'd bought an Elise. He then told me his mate had one, but his problem was he was a bit of a chubby chaser.

He told me he had a barbecue at his place, and their single, female, chubby neighbour was there. Naturally his mate made a beeline for her, and when he left, she said they are going on a date the next week, and he was going to pick her up.

Him and his missus were watching to see if he turned up in the Elise, which he did. He knocked on the door, and she came out to admire the car.

They then spent a good 10-15 minutes trying to shoe-horn her into the car from every angle, before giving up and going inside. The next vehicle to arrive was the kebab shop's Bedford Rascal...

That sounds a bit more than "chubby" to me!
