Not an expert, but I laugh when I see
the guy on the TV series with the pregnant wife that keeps washing his hands. Wears all white and he's called Ashley.

Originally posted by SizeZeroSorry - I wasnt clear. In the 80s, people gave labels (Yuppie, etc) to the career types in society, and Kevin/Tracey was the lower class stereotype. But I don't remember them as having the violent/anti-social image which is the benchmark of today's chav?

Originally posted by BagpussHave you been consulting wikipedia? A Yuppie or a Dinkie was not a Chav, quite the opposite. The 80s version of chav was a Kevin and Trace, council house dwellers, they drove a Ford Escort with a sunstrip displaying their names.

Originally posted by SizeZeroI think the Kevin/Wayne/Sharon/Tracy generation are approaching their forties now? There were no chavs in the 80s (well there were but they didnt have the tag - in those days it was Yuppie or Dinkie). For some reason, those names just aren't popular anymore.
