Rubbish.

Some of the baseball-hat wearing scum one sees in the street these days appear to have descended from the denizens of another planet. The planet Tharg.

I feel nothing in common with these chavs whatsoever.

Yet the fact remains that you are just as good as them and they are just as good as you.

I wonder if you recall the 60’s and beyond. Flares, Jeans with bits of curtain sewn into them, flowery ties and shirts, “big” hair, and that was just the guys!

For the girls the mini-skirts and the end of the “giggle band”*, later hot pants (and buttock cheeks bared to sight), sex, drugs, and sausage rolls, and the whole nine yards.

Were the fashions of the 60’s the 70’s and beyond really so different as the fashions of today? Other than an increase in street violence (and I’m not so sure that increase is really as big as it is made out to be when I think back) was behaviour that much different?

And were the boring old farts who ranted on about “The Youth of Today” just as out of touch, bigoted, and prejudiced with what they thought they saw compared to what was any different from the same genre of boring old farts that prattle on in exactly the same way today.

They were and are not.

Mike, it’s great life. Chill out, baby, as Leary said, “Tune in, turn on, and drop out”.


* The giggle band.

For those who may be too young to know, or those boring old farts unaccustomed to the term the “giggle band” was the bit of dark stocking that acted as a reinforcement and that a suspender belt fastened to.

The reason it was known as the “giggle band” was that once you got your hand past it you were laughing!

No they aren't. That's just your mad idea.

They are scum. You think the BNP are scum; I think the chavs are scum.

If somebody set about them with a pack of rottweilers I wouldn't lose any sleep.

Yes, it's nice to take a trip down memory lane isn't it?

Until he drugged himself to death.
