Chavatar

[bunn]

A friend who is currently sporting an England flag as her avatar on a forum I frequent, has described it as 'my chavatar'.

Well, it made me laugh.

Read this earlier on, and didn't get it. Came back to friends' page as a break from boring moderation, and suddenly it clicked.

Very good. :-) Very apt also for a discussion I had with my osteopath this morning.

I must tell a certain fellow librarian this. He lives a few doors from us, and is forever ranting about the "chavs" who live in our street.

He currently has an England flag on his car.

Cool!

I am getting a lot of peer pressure from neighbours who all have out their bunting etc... I am not very buntingy but a freak patriotic urge in Tesco the other day forced me to buy a St.George's tie (basically a bright white tie with long red stripe down it, crossed about 1/2 way down.) It got its 1st outing at work today. It certainly helped start conversations!

I'm not sure what statement going to work in a suit and loud England tie makes about my social status. Upwardly mobile chav?
