ok a few contributions ...

1. "Chav" as a phrase is now so widely used it has become unfashionable. Find a new label, start using it and become the leader of a new trend..

2. Yes I know at least one Transgendered contributor to FT...not naming names though, and it isn't me I can assure you.

3. Club Europe.. well not again for me if i can help it.. let's not go into that now though!

4. Dressing up for travel ? I got some uptight BA clothes snob trying to re-direct me at check-in so often I took it for part of their customer service.

5. Russians ? Love em, my employer just signed a JV deal. Shall stock up on blue eyeshadow and cheap caviar on my next trip to flog on e-bay.

cheers !
