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?

Last time I was over there it was full of students and hardly any chavs. Then again, that was earlier this year, pretty much at the beginning of 2008, so it might have changed since I last went over there.

But Holyhead, would have to give Bangor a run for its money. One of the most depressing places on God's earth

And you crash into the Chavs from Aberystwyth. They are willing to travel 3 hours to fight the Bangor chav crews.....

Pah!! Since you got that bridge and a new road out, it's positively sublime in HH now!
Did actually do (read start) a dissertation in Bangor Uni on the 'social response to the chav phenomenon', and came to the conclusion that they are no brighter or less dangerous than African Hunting Dogs
They have a hierarchy (based on the angle of the baseball cap:- the higher it is, the higher up they are in the group), there's an Alpha Chav, and they are incredibly territorial - you try sitting on the benches outside Woolies on a Saturday!!
