Teddy Boys.

Teddy Boys


Pre mod & Pre punk, Teddy Boys was the original sub culture in where The Working Class took clothes from the superior ruling class and making it there own, unique style which took inspiration from the Edwardian era however later teddy boys where more influenced by American 50's Rock & roll.
The subculture started off in the east end of London, where gangs known as cosh boys who where identifiable by there style: Long jackets sometimes with velvet collar and cuffs, Drainpipe trousers and a slim jim tie, they took on the police they thought local gangs and where prevalent with the use of knives.
The actual name " Teddy Boy" came from a headline in The Daily Express which shortened the word Edward to Teddy, and thus the name " Teddy Boy" was born.

The Teddy Boy - The first generation of young boys & girls to be different from the rest.

Always look on the bright side of life,

8-0 to Chelsea FC what do you expect? Well the fact that they are cheating twits is one, Drogba doing his " holding head crying then when he gets a decision i will go and run" trick.
Two penalties and a sending off - All to Chelsea, I actually stopped caring and lost count of how many goals went it, Had a good sing song and I loved how the Chelsea muppets could not understand why we where still singing even though we where losing, We follow our team because we are proud to do so we may be not successful but we did not buy the title.

Had a good day in t'smoke as well, Cenataph,Pubs,Houses of Parliment and we couldnt find a pub to drink in Chelsea itself because well we are a "risk" because my 71 year old grandad has a Wigan Athletic jacket on.Bollocks.

Here are some pictures from the day:

Cenotaph at Whitehall

The pub we where in on Whitehall - Decent pint of Greene Kings Royal London.
