Brown Cords and Walking Boots
After a family "get together" and some family left this morning to head back down south the rest of us decided to go for a walk through the West Yorkshire countryside. So i borrowed some walking boots and we all set off and stopped by a pub for a little sup (Theakstons Best bitter.Fantastic) and walked through these farm yards and past big isolated homes which looked great! and then headed back up to my aunties very muddy but happy.

Some old posts.....
Found my old blog before and started looking through what i had posted and this is one in paticular that i liked:
working class. what is it? to me working class is were you work for your money pay bills go out go to football go for a beer etc just geting on with life not to rich and not to poor. i was looking on the internet for what the acutual term is on wikipedia its" Working class is a term used in academic sociology and in ordinary conversation.In common with other terms relevant to social class, it is defined and used in many different ways, depending on context and speaker. The term incorporates references to education, to occupation, to culture, and to income. When used non-academically, it typically refers to a section of society dependent on physical labor, especially when remunerated with an hourly wage."now to me thats a longwinded way of saying what i say and on the bbc it mentioned that britan has no social class...we are all a meritocity ( what the hell does that mean?) and that the goverment think that we are all middle class? bollock to that so you can live it up in your posh houses while most of teh birtish public stuggle to pay the taxs that is essentily your fucking wage. piss off new labour.now within that post there may be some contradictions and some down right bullshit i dont now, you decide ben.
and i still agree with what i put there.

Regional diffrences?
I have been thinking about this for a while, There is all kinds of regional diffrences such as how we speak etc...but in terms of football and clothes i am aware that there was diffrences back in the early days of the subculture there was such as liverpool and merseyside had the wedge first while evryone else was stuck in the "bootboys" culture still ( cropped hair,doc martins,bombers etc...) and that liverpool where the first to a degree to set off the casual subculture. Brands such as fila etc. Where as down south clubs such as west ham where very burberry orintated ( so a blackburn friend of mine said *insert a winkey thing here* and that the yorkshire and lancashire based clubs where known as wooleybacks because of thick wool jumpers.
This was back in the days when the culture was a thing to be part off ( it still is but not to a certain degree as it used to be) and personaly i think that regional diffrences arnt arround much any more and that to a certain extent there is none but there in the subculture its self .
The people who are more clued up in the culture know what makes may break through in the next year or so or a certain label that is that extra bit special and is relictant to share that little bit of infomation. But within the culture its self there is divides. There is the "very" clued up who have been in it for years and are full of infomation about the old days. The clued up who know about the scene and labels and a wee bit of infomation then there are the down right fucking clueless who think location,goigoi are casual and that if you strap on a fake stone island jacket from cheetham hill you are a "casual"...

Awaydays
There is a film about Keven sampsons awaydays is due out ( it may already be out..) it looks like quite a good film i just hope that it stay inline with the book and is just not about the "pack" and his "downfall" with them in the end.
I hope the film includes parts such as the docter who convention when there in halifax etc.....
The Cags
Well they look simaler to the iconic peter strom cag and i hear that adidas are going to issue one to coinside with the film and from the pictures i have seen....pure shit!
I just hope that this wont see loads of people wearing the green peter storms or simaler jackets and start wearing some of the crazy and frankley shit colourways of forest hills that are avalible from your local JD store.
We shall wait and see....
