It's even more real when you come across them further afield. There are one or two of them up here, and the abuse when they 'spot a scummer' is quite pathetic.
The worst one, when I was going out with a Yorkshire girl, I drove from here to hers after football training on a friday night, made to her local pub and met another southern sounding bloke there. Yep, a skate. Every time I came within eyeshot of him after that there where his non stop cries of 'CUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUNT!'
Anything to silence that bunch. The plastic ones are even worse too!
