I mentioned 'chavs' in a post about a week ago and anyone from the UK will know what they are. (baseball caps, loud mouths, yobbish behaviour etc)

Those who are familiar with them may find this amusing

I was with my G/F in Oxford in the main shoppping area when we came across an 'Edinburgh Wool' Shop. Interested to see what they had I wandered in (despite the protests of my partner who probably thought I would emerge with a few more kilts for my collection!)

at the back of the shop I found the modest collection of kilts they had (no more than 6 or 7) and was shocked and stunned to see a well-made kilt of high quality decorated with BURBERRY!!!!!

I recoiled and nearly ran screaming from the shop in terror, who in their right mind would wear such a thing???....then I had a thought, perhaps this is the way of teaching the Chav culture in Britain that kilts are cool.....don their symbol of chav culture (I use the word 'culture' very loosely here) and parade around town wearing it. Next thing you know, the little rascals would all be wearing them!! No more pointing and staring...we'd finally be accepted! (If only by Chavs)


Unfortunately this isn't a serious thread, if only it were as simple as all that for the kilt to be accepted as part of popular culture :rolleyes:
