Common
Freddy Woo writes, "My wife thinks calling the front room a lounge is common. Worse, a friend of hers recently admonished her daughter for calling a toilet, a toilet. Lavatory darling. It's lavatory."
My own mother refused to let me use the word 'oblong' instead of 'rectangle'. Which is just odd, to be honest.
What stuff do you think is common?

Are you a chav?
I work in Wakefield and have a number of clients in the surrounding area. A while ago during the time when Karen Matthews was found out to be hiding one of her many kids under a matress one of the firms I worked with in the Dewsbury area sent an email round to its staff about the Dewsbury chav test. It basically stated that if you had recieved one of the leaflets from the local plod through your door warning you to avoid taking any vigilante action against the Matthews family then you qualified as a certified common as muck chav.
Should you be interested there were 3 people that passed the test and now have the slips the recieved laminated and hung up on the wall in the staff canteen.

I have always assumed...
...that discrimination against white working class 'chavs' was racism.

It amused me
When she was 'found' it was reported on the news that the neighbours celebrated with an open air karaoke and Asti Spumante.
Classy.
