    An informative discussion

    Recently there was long thread about the BCA. I can now post possible answers to some of the questions, such as "Why is the BCA still raising membership prices when there is a significant amount still left in its coffers?"

Got the book "It's only a game" for Xmas. Brilliant read, done in 24hrs! Really couldn't put it down. Highlight was his tale of a stripper and a coin...go and read for yourself!! Hopefully a part two will emerge as this book deals with life up to the '60s.

Of topical interest was some of the vernacular used especially a name Lancastrians appear to use for Gypsy's - "charber". Bit close to Chav commonly used name for those herberts who frequent shopping arcades clad in Burberry and cheap Argos gold. Is there some direct link?

well in the north east its "Charver" - which seems like a cross between the two.

I think Chav originates from essex and east london.
