The proud owner of TWO Burberry scarves thinks I have gone too far

How dare you laugh at my scarf?
This comment has just come in under the ‘Chav Sharon’ post:

Haven’t you got better things to do? I have two original Burberry scarves and sorry I’m not a chav. You have taken it way too far now. Be careful as all this is putting off even P.N. activists.
Ooooh. Not one, but two Burberry scarves. The lucky girl. And apparently, my mockery of Burberry scarves is putting off even PN activists.
It just gets better and better.

Hey, I have one like that! OMG, I’m a chav. Daphne, you’ve put me off voting for the PN next election, damn you.
Yanika, do you think the ones who read this blog are stupid enough to believe you? Not about voting PN but you being PN.
Perfect for a Jowzef fan with a “thing” for shoes:

I’m beginning seriously to suspect you invent some of the comments just to make your readers laugh.
[Daphne – No. They’re genuine.]
Well, then, I really cannot understand how some people’s brains work.
No, Avatar – I really exist. Now why did YOU use a nick?
Mona not Manolo or whatever your nick is: are YOU Josephine?
Mona is a chav. Josephine says she isn’t.
I love this blog – it’s like the cherry on the knickerbocker, after a great day at work and at home.
I’m starting to think that it’s okay and maybe even cool to be a chav (insane!) – and if you become a big enough hamallu you’d get plenty of coverage right here!

Ghanda biex tiftahhar, eh?
You really upset her, Daphne.
She probably used her live savings to buy the scarves on eBay and now realises they are worthless.
This was in Marketing Week:
‘‘Burberry’s reputation has been tarnished by its association with “chav culture”. The brand’s signature Burberry check has become synonymous with football hooligans, while the media ridiculed actress Daniella Westbrook when she and her daughter were pictured wearing Burberry check from head to toe. The company has since discontinued many lines, including baseball caps.”
I understand Marlene Mizzi has given away all her Burberry collection as a result of your comments D.
Too late, baby.
Two ej? They come in handy for some S&M.
[Daphne – Hmmm. Perhaps Manny Mallia would like to tie Ronnie Pellegrini to the bedstead with those two Burberry scarves. Does Facebook have a messaging facility for this kind of thing?]
They could always create the Application…God knows they have enough time to waste on virtual bouquets and what(k)nots
Heres’ one chav who’s got himself in a spot of bother.

She has two and I have none – do you think she will sell me one halli nkun chav ukoll?
Isma, x’inhi chav? donnu xi insult ghax kulhadd ha ghalih :) Jien chav ukoll nissuspetta…..ha noffendi ruhi minn qabel halli inkun cool!
Burburry is back.

Just to make a point: this Burberry/chav association is done only in the UK (and apparently in Malta since people follow UK fashion and news). I’ve asked my friends in the U.S. – those who like checks will wear them, whether in the Burberry plaid or not.
And those who dislike checks just ignore them. None of my U.S. friends have ever heard of the Burberry/chav association. Other people I know from Ireland, England etc would not want to be seen dead in Burberry plaid, though.
I am from the U.S. and have definitely heard of the chav association…and I find it hilarious. We used to make fun of people we’d see downtown all sporting their foolishly expensive scarves that all look the same & make them look like mindless sheep. It reminds me of the many fools who spend hundreds of dollars on Jordan gym shoes that were probably made for four dollars. It has nothing to do with quality and everything to do with the brand name. Some people actually believe it to be a status symbol that means they are “high class.” I guess high class is not being able to think for yourself…
