Module citizen David Kitchen wrote, "I feel I'm being sterotyped here" and I can only sympathise. How do you think everybody reacts when I tell them I live in Elephant & Castle? I certainly wasn't out to say that all UK estates are decrepit shite-holes, just attempting to give our US listees a fair comparison to make with their very own, much-loved 'trailer trash'. Anyway, I'm dreaming of a white (trash) Christmas myself - Christmas dinner in the Binar indian restaurant in Chorley, Lancs with my brother and his 800 kids. Turkey curry and ten pints of lager. Sorted. However, before we leave this sociocultural discourse for dead, who's the worst band to ever sport council estate chic? Was it t'Uproar, or perchance the Bridewell Taxis. Flowered Up or 38 Summers? And just how sad is that bloke out of Hurricane #1? By the way, am I alone in finding Pauline Calf strangely alluring? +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list please mail "sinister@majordomo.net".
