"At Wit's End, a Town Dithers Over Its Millionaire Pest"
http://www.nytimes.com/2005/09/30/inter ... to.html?hp
Mr. Carroll is an object of national fascination in part because of his apparently pathological criminality, and in part because he represents a kind of Briton known as a chav. Chavs, whether rich or poor, tend to favor gaudy jewelry and expensive-but-tacky clothes with big logos and to behave in a way that others find coarse or obnoxious.
Male chavs wear tracksuits and baseball caps; female chavs pull their hair tightly back in buns or ponytails, a style known as a "council house facelift," from the term for public housing.
Mr. Carroll has "King of Chavs" printed on his Mercedes, a car known in the newspapers as the Loutmobile (its license plate reads L111 OUT).
So are chavs taking over Britain or something?

Q. What do you get when you combine a chav and an emo?
A. A lollerification.

Those shirts look fucking stupid, no doubt, but equally bad are the version where they try to be a bit more subtle with the pattern but just putting it on the shoulders or at the top of a pocket on the front. Was out with DC and wondered where he'd gone as we'd just passed through a pub and he caught up and told me someone had been hassling him, I asked if it happened to be a guy wearing a blue shirt with little Burberry tartan patches on it and lo-and-behold it was him; I may have bumped him (accidentally unless my chav detector sort of led my shoulder into him) as I passed him a minute earlier but he had fuck all to say to me.
Sorry, no iron bars were involved.

it's all about the Burberry

Heh, that was a real cracker of an idea. Must have made them a lot of money though. They've also brought out Burberrry Brit, a fragrance as obnoxious as those fucking caps. Some of their other smellies are okay though.

Burberry was the dog's danglies late 80's/early 90's and you still see some lads at football wearing it. Never been a fan of the house check myself. I'd blame Liam Gallagher, as soon as he started wearing it (around 95) house check coats or shirts appeared everywhere. Same goes for Freddy Fila and Terry Tacchini, nice terrace wear in the 80's but chaved up now. Isn't chav (charver?) Geordie slang for lad/townie anyways?
And Aquascutum, there's another house check to avoid.

You narrowly redeemed yourself, as I wear their For Men.
