The Chap Quiz

[Alan Eardley]

Ladies and gentlemen,

On of my best Christmas presents (from my lovely wife) was a subscription to The Chap Magazine - mandatory reading for every male who feels he is in the wrong century.

As quizzes are an essential part of the Festive Season (that's the Holidays to some) I present the Chap Quiz. Now, by answering a few simple questions, every man can determine the most important fact about himself - whether he is a Chap or a Chav. There will also be a small accolade for the first person (not from the UK) to offer a definition and derivation of the term Chav.

Happy New Year.

Where fore art thou, Master Eardley?*

I'm at work so have no time to write my own definition and etymology; link attached herewith

At work AND surfing the FL??!!

The cheek of you, really.

Wher's your work ethic?!

It's related to work ... really. Give me enough time and I'm sure I can come up with a connection!

(In my own defence, it WAS lunch break)

Judgement

Shindeco,

Sorry, I'm afraid that was a trick. The use of an online information source identifies you as a Cad, rather than a Chav. A Chap would ask his butler or a waiter at his club.

Mr. H,

My current location is in my study, although I note that at the time you posted your message I was in the bathroom. I hope this helps.

I'll admit between spurts of coding HTML and cgi, I'm scrolling through the Lounge and a host of other sites.

Lousy habit. S'okay, in a few months, I'll be away from computers for nearly half a year!

I was afraid this might be about shorts that bind... or some such.

(polite cough)

The Confederation of Anarcho-Dandyists (or CAD) is totally opposed to the work ethic. It seeks to supplant this vile concept with THE SHIRK ETHIC. To this end its online Chat Room (or Chap Room) is cunningly disguised to look like Windows Help. This enables the oppressed wage slave to wile away the office hours discussing such important topics as trouser creases and hat doffing, instead of contributing to the expansion of global mediocrity.
