504 miles round trip

You get your chavspeak down south, but you should hear what we need to contend with up here in Scotland. It seems that everyone between 14 and 23 wears a lacoste trackie and speaks with a lanarkshire accent regardless of where they live. And then end every sentence with the word "nomeen", which I think is a contraction of "does one know what I mean?". Makes me mad.

Or indeed the black kids trying to be black.

Some years ago at a friend's house there was a black guy who talked with a very strong accent in some kind of Jamaican patois mixed with Gangsta talk (or whatever it's called).

After he left my friend explained that they'd been at school together, and until he was about sixteen the bloke had talked perfectly good English with a distinctly middle-class accent

I'm not entirely sure I liked being lumped in with a bunch of sassanachs, to be used as a tool of comparison.

[viz tip]Chavs, avoid having to suffix every sentence with "naarmean?", by talking properly in the first place, thus ensuring you are instantly understood by the listener.[/viz tip]
