What happened to Ned?

I remember eons ago, probably a year or so everybody talked of "neds" much like they do of these so called "chavs" But I never hear of them anymore. Are they extinct? Did they evolve?

    A Ned is just the Scottish word for a townie or chav

    There was an outbreak of avian flu in their natural habitat and they all copped it. It was very sad :crying:

    There maybe one or two left in captivity but unless you want to trawl through skag-ridden weegie council estates to find 'em you're unlikely to ever see one again

    :p

    One migrated here. I always used to laugh cuz this placed talked about neds and I knew a "ned" named Ned. HE may be still around if you look closly.

    It was decided that there were too many pop culture references using the word 'ned', so they were merged with Flanders to form a god bothering, moustache growing, buck fast drinking, track suit wearing über zeigiestian character.

    Hi diddly ho, ya fucking bam!

    they usually dont pose much of a public nuisance in the winter due to the bad weather, and they're not spotted as often. now the summer is on its way in im sure you can expect an increase in ned activity. at least, thats how it works in leicester...

    None as far as I know. Its just regional names for 'it'. I dont think there is such a thing anyway, its just kids predominantly who wear a certain clothing, and a portion of kids who wear similar clothing give them all a label. The fact that many of these kids come from underpriveledged backgrounds and have less what the middle class would like to call 'courtesy' just further entrenches class barriers.

    Either way, I dont have much of an opinion, i'm of the opinion that society - in general - sucks a lot. But, my life seems to be going down the pan, so maybe im just in a cynical mood. I think things like hugs are truly undervalued. When was the last time someone offered to hug a chav. If people did that, in one day I think a lot of preconceptions would disappear.

    And your defence of the underprivileged masses is very sweet but save it for those who actually have a chip on their shoulders.
