Trampolines!

[kallis3]

I'm sure you're not a chav! I like to think I'm not, but who knows what anyone says about me when I'm out!

I don't do the tracksuit though with the bottoms tucked into the socks![:D]

Sooooo not a good look that!

[Shining]

Jan a good look for the Chav's is Pyjamas (obligatory from Primark) to to Asda shopping, with the precinct facelift and the big jewellery, big earrings with name across them are a good look! (only saying what I see in Manc when I visit my Mum not as I wear this....honest, although I'm still in my PJ's as I type this!!)

[kallis3]

That's me stuffed then! We shop in Asda![:D]

Don't do the big jewellery though - don't light a cigarette up just before/just leaving the shop and don't have the kids with the daft names and the even dafter haircuts![:D]

I shop in Asda sometimes too, although round here Chav City is Tesco, where unfortunately I do most of my shopping!

[kallis3]

I do both, and both are equally Chav City by me.

Last week when we went,there was a couple in there who couldn't keep their hands off each other! What is all that about? They stood in a queue next to us at the checkout and he stood behind her with his hands round her waist rubbing her stomach! Perleassssssse!

Me and hubby never used to do that, even when we were in the first flush of romance! At least not in a supermarket anyway![:D]

[Skippy]

Yuck!!! Dave and I aren't exactly romantic in public either - there's a time and a place and Tesco ain't it!

[kallis3]

Exactly!

Trampolines have been around for at least 4-5 years, but we only got one about 2 years ago. There is no metal on it to hurt yourself on as we have an enclosure and the poles are covered with foam, so no accidents. It definately isn't a chav thing, everyone is doing it. We live in a decent area and most people have one. They were expensive but are fairly cheap now. They are fantastic for exercise although we do go for walks too and kids run around playing etc. You have to have more energy to jump on a trampoline than go for walk. Its hard work but great fun. [:p]

It won't be a god thing if they haven't gone out of fashion in a couple of years when chav child near us is old enough! Unfortunately he has a mouth like his mother so it won't be pleasant!

[kallis3]

Not saying that every family who has one is a chav, it just seems that the vast majority seem to be.

As long as they are supervised and don't intrude on other's privacy, they are fine.

I used to love trampolining.

Great post Wonder!

I cant say im that keen on them. One of my boys, when he was about 7 or 8 fractured his skull on the one next door to his grandparents house. His face and head came up like the elephant man.

Get yourself a Painball gun with a laser sight and sit in your garden waiting for the little heads to pop up ... better than video games I bet[:D]

[wonder]

The one we have is safe, as it has a net enclosure around it so you can't fall out. The poles are all covered in foam so you can't hurt yourself. They are so different these days and quite safe when used sensibly. [:D]

Ray - I love that!

Target practice![:D]
