Sam says: Who wakes up in the morning and decides hey I know what I will wear today, the matching tracksuit top and bottoms that is the 'must have' fashion accessory of the young people today and the mildly mentally retarded. Of course they all have to be one colour (usually blue) with some kind of pattern joining the top and the bottom together to create the full affect. Top it all off with a Burberry cap and a can of cider and you have the antipathies of the common yob.

Perhaps it is the need for social acceptance ‘I know he looks like an inbreed, perhaps if I wear what he’s wearing he will be my friend and we can both roam the streets together’. Or perhaps its just that no one has ever told them how ridiculous they actually look. I willing to bet it’s the former though, cause even a retard knows when his shit stinks.

Another thing that fascinates me is when they seem to congeal into some sort of super mob job. Its kind of sweet in a way that they found each other (albeit by simply being drawn to the same clothing) but also kind of sad that that is the only family they will ever know. That is until they get one of their little 15 year old groupie girls knocked up of course. And are those young girls scary or what?!?! Yikes! Talk about setting your sights low, I’ve seen more ambition in a cactus.

Maybe I’m just being a bit harsh. Maybe a more primal force is driving them. Maybe its just the simple need to survive. Or maybe its just the fact that they are pooling their government doll money together to buy scratches and lotto tickets hoping that someday they will win the jackpot and that will lift them out of their impoverished, miserable existences. Then at least they will be able to buy some new clothes. Hell, that’s what I’m waiting for.

Ash says: Fashion is clearly underestimated. Many claim to be fashion experts, but in my eyes, no-one can be in the same league of fashion knowledge as that of Trinny and Susannah. http://img.dailymail.co.uk/i/pix/2008/05_01/newtrinnyPA_468x802.jpg
The true Gurus!

However impressive the Gurus may be, they have clearly never left the London scene that they seem to base themselves in. If they would be brave enough to branch out, they may be able to help the "clean up Britain" campaign! How many people do you ever see trashing a local park, whilst wearing a smart t-shirt and jeans? Or a suit? None, I would bet... Maybe it is a stereotypical mould we place people in these days, (for I know, not everyone that wears matching tracksuits, is some way related to crime), but it appears to me, that the crime rate here in the UK, revolves around the people too poor to dress themselves properly. And when they do make any money, they seem to forget they need new clothes, and just go trash a park to celebrate!

Surely if T & S took some time out to tend to people who really need clothes, (rather than the Over-Weight, Middle Aged Women (*OWMAW) who just lack exercise, that they seem to waste their quality time with), then even if it didnt cure the UK of gang crime, at least the nation would look smarter from the outside. I mean, our local neighbours of France seem to pride themselves on appearance. And it works, when was the last time you saw a Frenchman wearing a tracksuit? Unless it was at the Olimpics, or something else involved with sport, I'd say never! (And, No, walking into town, or trashing a park is NOT sport, UK! (Though we would undoubtedly win a gold medal if it was))

So, I am going to make a plea now to Our excellent P.M. Mr Brown, if you want to improve our nation...hire Trinny and Susannah and send them to every council estate in the UK, in an attempt to burn all matching "Trackies" they can get their hands on, and replace them with the smartest clothes that they see fit, (Though I would advise them against horizontal stripes on OWMAW).

And if T & S fail in this important mission they have been charged with, and never return from the depths of a British Council Estate, lets be fair ...

Who would miss them anyway?!
