I want to know if Mick wears gorblimey trousers or Jaysusandbegorrah trousers... :D

I hate the word Chav, both because of its etymology and because it seems like another stick with which to beat the working classes. Yes, there are yobs and louts in every town, but when kids at public schools are having Chav Parties, it's not really very nice. This was a good article:

Bottom of the class

In any case, the term Chav seems to be a bit passe now, which is a good thing IMHO.


Good luck with the new folk club - that's the second one I've heard avbout this week, the first being in East Dulwich. Well done to all those flying the flag.
