Birthdays must be tricky as I don't suppose there's much demand for great-great-great grandma/grandchild cards.

Nothing a Sharpie or a custom Moonpig card can't resolve!

Happy 35th Grandma

A&E on a Monday night... council everywhere!! Highlight being perma-tanned matching white tracksuit couple... Yes I know, I should be in a private clinic. I'm council

Yep we ended up there last weekend with my mum who we thought had sepsis, I'd say a good 80% were on the full on council spectrum.

Taunton (Musgrove) A&E on a Saturday at 11pm until nearly 3am Sunday. There was us and a young lady with a small child that actually needed genuine medical attention, the rest has either mental health or drugs issues or a combination of both. Not sure if council or tragic, but it was not a nice place to be.

I had the misfortune to be in A&E on a Saturday night before Christmas with a properly unwell OH (think phone calls to her father to tell them perhaps they need to be ready for some really, really bad news...).
There were multiple groups of families in PJ's, dressing gowns and onesies all gathering in groups, usually around one sick looking person holding a puking bowl or similar. Next to them were multiple passed out drunks, a couple with their own 'police buddy' keeping an eye on them.
We were whisked into a private room and ended up there and acute clinic for 14 hours. Still the same groups loitered while all sorts of accidents, clearly very ill people on trollies etc were wheeled past them.
The next morning, one of the groups had a proper go at the matron - she just burst into tears... :-(

We had the misfortune of an A&E trip one Sunday afternoon last summer (4yo had bitten through his tongue falling off a bench). It was notable how many groups of 4+ people were there and it was impossible to tell which member of the group was the injured one. Why people would choose to be there for anything minor is beyond me, it would be an absolute last resort for any injury or illness for me!

Feral Chavs only venture out in groups. It's in case they encounter another group of Feral Chavs that they have issues with. Otherwise they keep themselves occupied by shouting at each other, even though they are sitting next to each other.

I was in B&M once (Council) and behind me there was a young couple in their early 20's and their 6ish year old daughter. The couple were constantly digging and ridiculing the 6 year old going beyond the realms of teasing. But when I looked at the couple, they had barely grown up themselves.

fking hell. The 35 year old looks 50. The 17 year old looks like an addict. Scotland. It's not all highland castles and stags.

The 86 year old looks the healthiest of the lot.

It's unusual to see them all together

- the 6 generations?

No, the legs.

Worryingly if the 86yo lives to 100 then there is the chance of a 7th generation.

Chapeau to the 50yo for beating the trend set by 86 and 68 and giving birth at 15.

Also concerning that it is easier to refer to them by their ages rather than by mother, grandmother etc.

Looking at the state of them and the fact they live in Scotland i can’t see them all living another 14 years. The oldest and the two youngest have the best chance.

Is there a picture of all the Dads?

The names, the NAMES! ...and that bloody red thing around that poor infant's head, *shudder*

Walking down the pavement with your phone at arms length either filming yourself or on FaceTime. Seen it loads the last few weeks. Council.

Do that in London and you'll have a moped rider dressed in black hunting you down.

Sirron rider!

I noticed a lot of people do that facetime even older guys, mate rang me, he's 62. "I can't see you mate, turn your camera on", "Why? Just say what you have to say and I'll see you later in the pub FFS!"

I hate having conversations on the phone with mates. Just a quick call and then that's it!

Chyrel is the winner here, getting knocked up at 14 and a great grandma at 50 is good going.

The average number of years each woman waited before sprogging one out is 17.2 years, meaning the average age when they conceived is 16 years old. That's the average, as we know Chyrel decided not to bother waiting that long

What's the betting they aren't 'net contributors' to the Treasury based on young births making promising careers less likely.....

I shudder to think what this army of economically unproductive scrubbers and their bds is costing. Why work when mug taxpayers pay for all your needs?

Well, the oldest two are legitimate pensioners, and do we actually know that there are no taxpaying partners/fathers, just not included because they weren't the point of the story?

Mary Marshall, 86, became Scotland’s only great-great-great-gran with the birth of 90th grandkid Nyla Ferguson.

Amazingly, all except Toni-Leigh work or worked as NHS carers.

And she is too young to have had a proper job yet.
So perhaps not the parasites they are being painted to be.

I suspect the 17 year old was kind of following in the footsteps

That said, i suspect she will get her own place about 10-20 years before many of of friends if they get jobs

So, if she follows in the family footsteps she will work for the NHS when her kid is older.
Sound fine to me.

Sat opposite a grown woman on the train watching some ste on her phone without headphones.

Just how anyone can think it's acceptable blows my mind.

There is no thinking involved at all - that's the problem

My FiL insists on facetime, no idea why. Luckily I'm not the recipient.

I reckon I've not been on the phone to my mates for more than an hour or two collectively in my whole life.

[Stick Legs]

My sister in law sends voice messages instead of texting or phoning. Usually when she's walking to work.
So my wife gets these 20 min stream of consciousness missives.

Not council per se, but as annoying as the above phone etiquette failures.
