Am I closet Chav?
Discussion
Whilst perusing the boutiques of the men’s wear floor of one of the more upmarket department stores in my locale, for attire suitable for the daily drudge, this afternoon, I was rather taken with some of the offerings of one of the more infamous UK rag trade brands of late…
…BURBERRY!!!
A splendidly attractive and stylish selection of suits, shirts and ties was to be found, certainly out of the price range of the average prepubescent benefit sponger this brand is normally associated with, and not a stitch of the Romford tartan in sight!
In the end my conscience wouldn’t let me and I went for a nice little Italian number instead
So the question is. Is there a Chav in me waiting to get out?
I won’t mention my lingering over the polo shirts at the Hackett stand

IMHO Burberry do make some very good products. I like a lot of their leather goods, and if you want to hang around a public park at dusk you could do far worse than one of their raincoats.
In the US, they're pretty highly thought of. It's only over here that the brand has been hijacked by the ne'er do wells and nasally challenged actresses resulting in the reluctance of the company's target audience to take the brand seriously.

Burberry is a good make so i've heard. Its name is only tarnished because chavs choose to buy immitation Burberry because they can't afford the real thing!
Either buy the clothing and just dont tell anyone the brand, or buy it and let everyone know its the real deal

P.S.
Don't worry, you're NOT a chav
