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?

mimi1uk · 17/10/2006 18:06

bloodyhowler · 17/10/2006 18:09

mimi why do you dress your child in burberry if you think it is chavvy

heifer · 17/10/2006 18:09

Didn't CD get chavstick right??

CD a cod bouncer is someone that sticks up for cod....

I got quite a bit of stick at first for doing a wind up about cod not meeting... yours was the first comment about it being crapola...

all forgiven my end - only if you really do find out what a chavstick is though...

CountessDracula · 17/10/2006 18:10

oh god don't start

mimi can dress her child in anything she wants

OP posts:
mimi1uk · 17/10/2006 18:10

i dont think its chavy, some things can be tacky as they can in every high street store, i select what i like and leave the rest ,

bloodyhowler · 17/10/2006 18:13

I agree cd but it is unusual for a parent to dress their child in something they disapprove of thats all

WelshBoris · 17/10/2006 18:14

Thats because CD and Cod are mates, its not a cliquey things they just are

Mimi stop taking offence, no-one is having a go at you or chavs

But if you want me to I will

Gladly

heifer · 17/10/2006 18:14

don't agree. I don't like pink but often dress my daugher in it.... Although I don't like it much she loves it and looks good on her..

Also have you tryed to do a whole pink free waldrobe....

heifer · 17/10/2006 18:16

weslhboris so do you know what a chavstick is??

Of course not enfering in any way that you or anyone you may know or know if the future is a chav.....

mimi1uk · 17/10/2006 18:22

wb no offence taken at all im answering a question directed to me, have a go at whatever u like i enjoy the thread why would i disapprove of buberry ffs its a clothes shop! i dress my son is what i like , as he is my son others opnions, do not matter to me otherwise i would not be posted on mumsnet saying i dress my son in burberry if i was worried what other thought, as i know some people on here think burberry is pure chav, i think that as a generalised view is a bit narrow minded, yes there are some tacky items in burberry as in all stores, and yes this can be ott, so can someone going out all in pink pushing a pink buggy with a child dressed in pink with a pink chainging bag! its about personal choice, i do not think my son has ever looked tacky ever! but then i may be perceieved as a chav!

WelshBoris · 17/10/2006 18:24

I hate to say this and I know Ill get abused from all angles

But I cannot read your last post, it makes my eyes cross over

heifer · 17/10/2006 18:26

no abuse from me... do you know????

WelshBoris · 17/10/2006 18:28

No

chavstick is just a made up word

Like chavtastic

or crapola

mimi1uk · 17/10/2006 18:29
