It's a f***ing joke. But it's okay for them to walk around britain like there in the east 🫣. won't accept the british culture our way of life. You wouldn't be able to go over to Afghanistan in numbers and start walking around in shorts and T shirts taking the western culture there. They wouldn't accept it at all.

For sure. I liked the look of the skinhead girls back in the 70's, early 80's. The Monkey boots, dress sense and haircuts, hot as, they should bring it back. It was our evil white people's culture, lol.

Plenty of vespas and Lammys out there just as fast as either of them.Do you actually own a bike.What scooter does your old man ride?

TV200 there not for me scooters. He wanted me to get one. But my pals would laugh at me f**k that. A would much have a WR450 on road. Least with something like that you can do abit of road an off road. A think with scooters there more decent weather motors.

That's where you ozzies dont understand origional English skinheads culture.The origional 60s and 70s skinheads embraced the black carribeans.They took the sharp tonic suits from the Jamaican rudeboys and the music was all jamaican SKA and Reggae.Even with the Second coming of SKA in the 2Tone era of the late 70s the best bands were all mixed race.It was only in the early 80s when. The NF latched onto it that the racist element crept in and you got the bone heads with their silly jeans rolled half way up their legs and shite bands and only lasted a couple of years max.The Australian skinhead movement might have been like a scene out of Romper stomper but the British scene was miles away from that.

Nice.My pal has a S3 TV175 that looks like it's just been dragged out of a barn after 40years but he's got an RB 265 engine built and tuned by a fella from up your end.It goes faster than any sane person would wanna try and ride a 60year old scooter.The lads I knock about with on the scooters aint into flashy paint jobs or chrome and mirrors.We just like making them go as quick as possible.

I know what you mean about cheap shoes.Ive probably got 40pairs of trainers,2 pairs of New balance boots that look like timberlands but ar 10 times more comfy.A couple of pairs of deck shoes to wear with smart shorts in the summer.But then 3 pairs of pretty expensive shoes that Ive had years as they just don't get warn unless it's a wedding or funeral.I keep fancying a pair of tricker  brogue boots but can't warrant spending over a monkey on something that will hardly get warn.

I've got loads of adidas zx 750s in various colours and the same with New Balance that I've got back into the last few years again a couple of different models but various colours depending on what colour sweatershirt or jacket I'm wearing.Then a few random pairs that I spot and like the look of.

[WILF 48,376]

I think clothes is one of those things that even if you ain’t got a pot to piss in, you can still put on a bit of decent clobber and square yourself up…..Maybe that’s an old fashioned thing, I don’t know ?

Cant stand these blokes who walk about like f***ing winos in dirty, creased shit, rotten shoes and  everything looks like it lives permanent on the bedroom floor and doubles as a cat bed !

We went on one of those caravan holidays once’s with the kids, Dymchurchas I remember…..first night we thought “have a look in the club house”

Theres was a bloke in there in a vest, shiny tracksuit bottoms and formal shoes !……I just said, come on we’re leaving ! lol
