Channel 5 tonight, 10.55. A documentary on The Hells Angels, should be entertaining.

Please, I can never keep up with movements in the English language. What are Chavs and what are Bloggers?

Come to newcastle, it should take you all of half an hour to work that one out.

What are Chavs ?
As I've posted here before: www.worldwidewords.org/topicalwords/tw-cha2.htm
Should raise a smile...

What are Chavs. Depends who you ask and when I think. One definition I thought applied to Chatham but look at:

Your honour, they are all much the same thing as "The Beatles", which we discussed last week ... ;-)

Dear Sir/Madam
As a politically correct do-gooding middle-class person with a social conscience I strongly object to the derogatory term 'chav' being used to describe yobbos, louts, oiks and other scum.
Yours sincerely, Mr. O. Lear-Vanthow,
(Cheers, SS)

According to one newspaper, Chavs are people with no manners, morals or taste. An ever-expanding sector of our populace I would say.

Vastly superior to common chavs are the 81's.
There is much urban myth and much history associated with the Angels, all well documented.
pdr.autono.net/SonnyBarger.html
The recently deceased Hunter Thompson tried to sensationalise the Angels, the RICO actions in the US failed as the authorities tried to frame them for racketeering. They have been accused of all kinds of stuff, largely falsely.
The best and most accurate documentary on the Angels is a History Channel VHS, a copy of which I have, and which contains lengthy interviews with Sonny Barger.
Bikers, support your local 81.

About a year or so ago one of the UK terrestrial TV channels showed a very good documentary on the Angels. They were seen to go out of their way to create the image of being rough diamonds, and good natured advocates of freedom, the open road and so on. Tough nuts with a healthy disdain for authority and good at heart. But numerous incidents including gang warfare and deaths in Montreal about 10 years ago, and drug wars in Scandinavia suggest that they are deeply into gun running and drug dealing. The case was made - convincingly I thought - for them being a rather unpleasant bunch despite the effective PR.
What was the conclusion of the documentary?

To let Sonny put his views. His books are worth reading if it's a subject which interests you enough.
