Sentinel Posted July 29, 2009 Share Posted July 29, 2009 They wear them that way so that if the drugs that they are carrying fall out of their underwear they will not fall out of the tracky bottoms. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skink Posted July 29, 2009 Share Posted July 29, 2009 It's to avoid the Sheffield adder, a rarely seen native snake crawling up your tracksuit leg. The custom is believed to have started when joggers were running near long grass and a number were bitten, so the trend of tucking into your socks began I can buy that So its a Darwinian thing, the ones that didn't do it have all died out Any idea how one might start a new chav trend. Say, for jumping of motorway bridges or playing on train lines Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sentinel Posted July 29, 2009 Share Posted July 29, 2009 Do so called 'Chavs' really do much harm? They smash up the odd bus shelter, take drugs and spit on old people and call them names.....so not really. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nickycheese Posted July 29, 2009 Share Posted July 29, 2009 Only michael Jackson came close to getting away with this! And Paul Weller... but even he doesn't wear white socks now : http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_YyackLxSzQM/R-TZ9t6_BnI/AAAAAAAAATA/gX5vzGSKVVI/s400/bowie22.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skink Posted July 29, 2009 Share Posted July 29, 2009 Do so called 'Chavs' really do much harm? two answers - one I guess I need to go away and reflect on my own actions (prejudices?) for having said what I said. it isnt a 'transend and include' kind of thng two, Chav (or whatever term we might choose) as a represenation of the pinnacle of millions of years of human evolution, of which I am a part, leaves me a little dissapointed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
