This is a question 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?

Things that scream chav or common...
Ford vehicles. Especially white ones - transits, escort vans, RS Turbos, even the Cosworths.

Fat birds in short skirts. I will be the first to admit that there is something nice about a girl with curves and, in some cases in my past, I've dallied with girls of the plumper variety with much enjoyment. However, if your thighs rub together, please don't wear a miniskirt - you'll look like a hooker, not a member of the WAG elite.

Lidl or Netto own-brand food. By all means, buy your toilet roll, or floor cleaner there if money is tight, but how pikey are you if Tesco Value is beyond your budget.

Similarly - own-brand alcohol. I have never been in such need of alcohol that I have thought "I'll pass on the Fosters at 8 cans for £5 and head straight for the Tesco Value Lager...". Own-brand booze is the preserve of the tramp and DSS pikey.

Shagging in front of your mates. Look, we're all people of the world and I reckon most of us have done the deed in the fresh air at some point. It can be fun, but you try to make sure no-one's around. Slipping a length to Tiffany in the bus shelter might be fun, but don't do it whilst surrounded by five of your mates. You lose extra class if either you or she you accept a drink or smoke from your mates during the deed, or if one or both of you makes or answers a call on your mobile/texts.

I have to admit though, that during my young and single days, I had a most enjoyable time with a girl from Southend in Essex - I recommend returning her attentions heartily, if she offers them. She was a lovely girl, but it was rather a shock to hear here screan "gawaan, fack me!" in the throes of passion. Ahem.

Even though I own a focus

What's wrong with Fords?
Vauxhalls are far worse- old Astras/Novas/Corsas always seem more chavvy than an old Focus. Maybe if you compared a modern Agila with a modded Mk3 Escort you could be right, but not comparing similar aged vehicles.

And the Transit is a very good van!

Otherwise, a clickworthy post.

Lidl/Netto/Aldi own brand food is actually pretty nice.
And suits the budget of a student pretty well.
