There is one on the corner of the rd I work in. Never anyone in there

Just walked past on way back from coffee shop and they have this toe-curlingly awful window display with some naff thing saying "wear your rugby shirt with your dinner jacket" and such horridnesses.

Errr, no. Everyone will think you are a twat if you do that.

WHO is this aimed at?

Anniemac - same in Wales (where I went to secondary school). DH went to private secondary in England where rugby was on the syllabus. Whereas rugby was unheard of in English state secondaries.

Both our DSs attend state secondary and they only do rugby for one term a year.

just found this???
Chavs have such a tribal dress code that you can spot one yards away! Now what makes the Chavs attire so funny is that they think they are at the cutting edge fashion and that by adorning their body with hunks of worthless 9ct gold crap they look rich! In reality what they do look like are a bunch of fucking pikeys

mimi1uk · 17/10/2006 13:01

is this what a chav is??

EnidVorhees · 17/10/2006 13:03

CountessDracula · 17/10/2006 13:03

sorry but I don't think that rugby shirts and dinner jackets and faux tweedy stuff is very tribal!

I just can't understand WHO would wear it. I can think of no group that it would fit in with.

OP posts:
CountessDracula · 17/10/2006 13:04

deck hoes?

do they smack their bitches up?

OP posts:
EnidVorhees · 17/10/2006 13:05

no

but they are all twats though

CountessDracula · 17/10/2006 13:06

Well I obv just don't know anyone like that, I don't think Dorset would be for me...

(btw Enid thanks got dress back, thanks for card!)

OP posts:
CountessDracula · 17/10/2006 13:07

But surely they don't go to Hackett?!!?!

Maybe some cobwebby gentleman's outfitters with jumbo cords in the yellow cellophane lined windows, or Boden...

The Cod was full of Hackett types - but then it was the Sloane Ranger era - ok ya & all that

CountessDracula · 17/10/2006 13:10

yes yes but that was years ago

I am talking now

Surely no self respecting sloane would be seen dead in Hackett?

OP posts:
bctmum · 17/10/2006 13:15

Could be CD - the sloanes of yester year are now wearing M&S cords - but the Barbour is still going strong

When I think of Hackett I think of sports so probably the young public school types - but not obvious Sloane like before.
