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

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
