There are plenty scumbags walking around wearing Armani suits and working in well paid jobs that wouldn’t hold a candle to the quality of person living in Housing estates who get tarnished with the “scumbag” tag.
That goes without saying. The book ‘chavs’ is a decent eye opener to how common that whole labelling has become.

Good man. The teachers remind me of a few years ago. Great story, an shows the capabilities Hurling and Football has. It also shows that start boys playing a game at a formative age with their friends cultures and traditions an everything else go out the window. They’ll take to anything.
