Maybe now you might oblige and let us into the secret of why you hate them so much?.......
 
Am I right in thinking the Townies/Chavs wear crappy track suites, Burberry caps and over-priced trainers ??

If so most are real inadequates (Liberal hat on)

I'm 43 and i remember the skin heads and mods, think it would have been around mid 70s. The skin heads were really intimidating.
 
I hate them so much because:

The way they always think that theyre soooooo awesomely good in fights...
The way they call skaters and moshers goths...
The way they think that their Rockfords :D make them look hard...
Oh and as the name that i call them "Pants in socks crew" is soooo true, Yeah lets go and tuck our pants into our socks... which prat thought of that?

It just annoys me.

Yep - I was wondering when someone would mention that! You have to wear trackie bottoms - with the socks over the top, you can wear very expensive trainers, but no true Townie would be seen without their Rockports! Also, designer jumper - preferably with lots of stripes. Why anyone would wear boots with sportswear is what gets me the most annoyed.

I also saw a townie in the heat of the summer (yeah we did have one) with gloves on (???) He probably wouldn't be seen dead in gloves in winter!
 
Am as baffled as the rest of us "oldies" as to what the bleeding hell this thread is about....purpose? Value? Thought I was fairly modern in my outlook,pigeonholing people because of what they wear seems a little bit non pc!!!Used to be a rocker myself,now more at home with Beautiful South and Foo Fighters;whet does that make me?? :confused:
 
I'm a bit befuddled too as to where I fit in. I will listen to practically anything and have music at home from old classics, swinging sixties, 70's, 80's up until present day. Suppose I did veer a bit towards Goth when I was a teenager but I still listened to very varied music..
 
It isn't really just about what they wear - it's a whole attitude thing. I could wear trackies & a posh jumper but that wouldn't make me a townie. (cos I actually have a job!)
 
I'm with you Lindsay,this thread has me compleatly baffled. I had never heard of Townies or Moshers till I saw an article in the Telegraph some time back.
I am round about Kipax's age and come from the same area in Preston and I never came across no Townies.
We had Hells Angels,Teddy boys and Girls, Rockabilly's, Greasers, Mods&Rockers,then the Skinheads came into the picture.
This was all when I was at school.
The eighties brought the strange punk brigade.
The Goths well I think like the punks they just want to be different and do there own thing.
Some are into Vimpirism and the Satanic thing. But why should they be able to answer questions about Wicca?
Wiccans dont even believe in Satan.
Mmmm
Strange thread.
What do these townies do that is so bad. Surley they cant all be a bad lot.
 
hi cyfr why dont you go on to the introduction channel we will welcome you on there, but hope youve enjoyed browsing the forums, we are a bit nutty at times, will we be seeing you i the king st pub as it is now on easter sunday nite, its nice to put a face to the names, & we are a friendly bunch as i hope you can tell, any way happy posting. :wave: oops sorry just worked your age out, hope your not sick off the many easter eggs you will get,
 
I don't believe that people do exactly the same things as people the other side of the country. Everyone around where I live (North-East coast) tuck their trousers into their socks and wear burberry hats. Losers. Do they think it makes them look hard.

OOOOH MEERRRRTTT I'M GOIN OUT TO GET PROPER WRECKED, I'M BRICK HARD!!!!
 
This thread started because someone was airing their view :)
It is prejudice but at the same time if chavs didnt want to be known as chavs (or towneys,etc) they would pull their pants outa their socks, take off their burberry caps and settle for 'no-name' boots instead of forking out over a hundred quid for some just for the name.
i dont mind these people but i dont admire their attitude, obviously not all of them are like this but i must say it is the majority of chavs that just dont care for anything except fights, speaking in a vulgar manner and keeping companys like rockport going,(generally not caring for anyone else), and it sux.
 
Anne...in my post i said some of them are satanic and some claim to be wiccans....not that they are satanic wiccans
