Friends,

I have dismayed comrades in recent weeks by confessing to having bought, read and enjoyed atleast three copies of the Telegraph. I promise you, if you don’t read the opinions then you’re fine. Anyway saw this in the letters on January 29th and thought I would share it with you;

Am I a chav?

“Sir – I see from your article (January 27) about a company providing ‘chav-free’ holidays that chavs are likely to have names such as Shannon and Tiffany, while the middle classes have names like Michael and Lucy. Where does this leave me?”

Michael Shannon

Ferndown, Dorset.

I don’t want to judge Mr. Shannon, but it seems if Tories have a sense of humour.
