    22%. However, in my defence...

    -The Burberry item I own is a trench coat. Not a very chavvy garment.

    -The suit with more than three buttons I own is double breasted. Again, pretty much the opposite of what the question was getting at.

    -I'm very proud of the fact that I didn't go to a private school.

    31%, apparently. Wiggers obviously have different traditions in Britain than here in North America.

    33% In my defense some of those are just becuase Im white trash

    My aim, then, was to whip the rebels, to humble their pride, to follow them to their inmost recesses, and make them fear and dread us. Fear is the beginning of wisdom.

    I am tired and sick of war. Its glory is all moonshine. It is only those who have neither fired a shot nor heard the shrieks and groans of the wounded who cry aloud for blood, for vengeance, for desolation.

    I got 22% too, which is, in my opinion, not bad, but is not especially good either.

    11%. But like BKS I own a trenchcoat. Corned beef hash - not unknown in 24 hour ration packs. As for the rest, I've grown up having to deal with Americans (earrings, 'toilet' &c.)

    16% chav. But I protest I only ate pot noodles when I was a student.

    Still, I shouldn't complain, because if it had asked what football team I supported I would have gone off the scale.

    I refer to the loo as the toliet and a sofa is a "settee" around these parts. As to clothing I'm a somewhat scruffy git, but I don't wear any of the chav brands.

    Personally I think the whole chav thing has gone too far. The upper crust now seem to refer to most of the working classes as chavs, and there are some people that don't consider themselves as chavs, but in fact are, while looking down their noses at others. The only types that I find very offensive are the ugly little hoody wearing youths and the "kappa slappers" that are never too far away. The type that hang about outside off licences making the place look untidy, asking you to buy booze for them or looking for a "spare cigarette", whatever that may be.

    20% which kind of surprised me. I only bought flowers one time at a petrol station for my girlfriend. I know that's kind of chav, at least I wasnt in a car.

    Must be the football shirts, the mobile phone ring-tone, and the R & B.

    And I do own some Burberry, but the checks are discrete and not visible on the outside.

    I never paid enough attention to brand names when I was there to break the test.

    Call me silly, but when they're not being loud when I'm trying to concentrate, their antics can be pretty funny. The thing is though, I think many/most of them don't conciously know what's going on.

    Because nobody would take me too seriously there, I liked to ride around on the tube w/ tons of pot in my pocket reeking all over or drunk; most of them seemed to appreciate a drunk American.

    The old ladies sometimes seemed genuinely offended, though I think that they get a lot of practice.

    You were at UCL for a time, right?

    Got any recommendations for good restaurants/pubs in the area? There are so many that I've inevitably missed some of the good ones.
