Ohio Saint Posted 10 May, 2012 Posted 10 May, 2012 I saw a urinal in the front garden of a French house. I don't think it had anything to do with being poor though.
Window Cleaner Posted 10 May, 2012 Posted 10 May, 2012 People paying in cash. Can't remember the last time I paid in cash for anything,not even a loaf of bread.We've got Moneo nowadays,small change transactions on your debit card.In fact I can't remember the last time I actually had any cash in any sort of signinficant amount,can usually go 2 to or 3 weeks with about 7 euros in my pocket.

Dimond Geezer Posted 10 May, 2012 Posted 10 May, 2012 Decent playgrounds for the kids. The more affluent areas don't get these "given" to them.

Window Cleaner Posted 10 May, 2012 Posted 10 May, 2012 Mini moto's. Dunno, this is a rich area round here but all the brain dead parents seem to think it highly titillating to get their kids onto mini-quads before they can even walk.

I've only ever seen them on council estates or parks that are within 5 minutes of a council estate.
View From The Top Posted 10 May, 2012 Posted 10 May, 2012 Staffies being walked by guys in tracksuits during normal working hours Oh yes.
View From The Top Posted 10 May, 2012 Posted 10 May, 2012 I've only ever seen them on council estates or parks that are within 5 minutes of a council estate. Don't see them up here. Must be a sovern fing.
jjsaint Posted 10 May, 2012 Posted 10 May, 2012 KFCs with brothels on the first floor. Laugh if you must, you've never been on Tavistock Road in Bedford.
This Charming Man Posted 10 May, 2012 Author Posted 10 May, 2012 Don't see them up here. Must be a sovern fing. Probably to do with Southern poor people, being richer than Northern poor people.

sfc1976 Posted 10 May, 2012 Posted 10 May, 2012 Satellite dishes outside every flat on a tower block Desolate,flat open spaces surrounded by estates High ITV viewing figures Newsagents with very little actual stock, and single cans of beer for sale that have passed or close to sell by dates Constituencies where Labour have an absolute majority Very pale, blotchy skin Women with their hair pulled back hard. Sometimes called a 'Croydon face lift' Bars where the wine list is Blossom Hill red and white only Fried chicken shops with bizarre names trying to make an American connection. Seen in SE London, 'Dallas Chicken, the taste of the open range'. WTF? 'Western Union' money transfer shops. Send your benefits back home, soon your mates will have enough to fly over and claim asylum too!
