>>The Trainspotting DVD does contain subtitles, probably as a result of public demand from outside Scotland.<<
Surprisingly, I didn't have trouble with the Scottish accents in Trainspotting. Well... except for Spud's. But that was because he was jacked up on speed for the entire film

Interesting image of stewie.

RP, I suppose. Sometimes sounds like an American trying to put an RP accent on, generaly well done though, and funny aswell!
Jim in Eboracum: aye...your chavs are the same as our neds....I know you dinnae have the right sound system on your puter but here is a bloke describing the typical ned....he was recorded at the Carnegie Leisure Centre across the water there in Dunfermline, Fife.

Was explaining Chavs (we call them Dings in York, and Charvers used to be the general term, before the popular southern term) to a Candadian fella last night, it basicly wen't a bit like that, but I reckon your neds hang around in "packs" outside of MacDonalds like ours, which should have been mentioned. I think sci-fi writers in the 60's wern't imagining this when they were thinking of jump suits etc.
Other words of Chavs include, Hartlepool Chore, Kappa Slappa, Scallie, Cliffton Ding, Charver....list goes on

Hey has Kappa Slappa got anything to do with Happy Slapping? I reckon not but it came to mind the second I saw it in your post. Neds and chavs are pretty harmless, but not the Happy Slapper lot as they film their stuff on their mobiles. So naistie. That started among the black guys and as far as I know Happy Slapping isn't an issue in this city. Neds are everywhere though, not only outside Macdonalds.
Scally is a Scouser term mostly isn't it? They're not neds though...just wee laidrons. (rascals).

I've no idea what they were thinking in the 60s.... looked like it was a wacky decade though.

Scally is used around the north to describe chavs, maybe different meaning in Liverpool. Scallywag is fairly common all over I think.
Kappa Slapper was used before Happy Slapping, its a late 90's term. It's shame all these different terms have been taken over by Chav. I suppose we would have used the word Tyke round here, if it wasn't a term of endearment now.
I was under the impression Happy Slapping started in schools, among all sorts.
You have more "goths" in Edinburgh than we do I found when I visited. There was a big pack of them up the top of Fleshmarket acting like idiots.
Oh yeah and the reason charvers tuck their trousers into their socks is because they shite themselves when being chased by the police, they don't wan't to leave a trail.

Kappa Slappers are only women, aren't they?
As far as I'm aware, they are called so because they like wearing Kappa tracksuits and they are promiscuous (slapper?).
The Kappa Company is red with anger (just like Burberry). Them scallies gained them a bad rep, innit? :-)))
But if they took the funny side, it's a good campaign. Shouldn't you know these brands (which I consider almost impossible), you'll get to know them. You don't have to waste money on fashion shows, scallies/chavs/neds (as you like it) work for free!!!
And youngsters will buy loads of these products. The more louts wear these brands, the more likely they are to become the latest fashion.
