Re: Teens hit street in £768 kits
When i was a mid teen it was always jeans, same as now, really. Unsurprising.
Chavs hadn't really taken off yet, though.

They wear jewellery worth about £125 , and £75 watch, carry a mobile phone at £127.58 and an M3 player worth £150. Wallets or purses cost £32.80 and hold about £30. A third of the parents say teens expect the latest fashions, and half say they spend half their average £6.29 a week pocket money on clothes and gadgets. But 3 in 10 teens regularly lose valuable items or have them stolen. Cornhill Direct say 'Parents should try to prevent them leaving the home with too much costly kit'.

This poll hardly seems accurate did they just poll in affluent parts of the country or something? The average pocket money is high as well they have more disposable cash then many adults.

Nowhere near Chav. I'd hate to be, i may half look like one, but please shoot me if i ever gain that attitude. Besides, doesn't the chav culture state listening to craply remixed music? Rock/metal here anyday 
Also, 2 phones simply because people keep texting old numbers no matter what i tell them (retards) and now partly because one sim gets allsorts of free goodies, wheras the other is one i've had for many years.
EDIT: Also forgot to add, everything i listed, bar the clothes, i bought for myself.

Re: Teens hit street in £768 kits
One thing that seems to have come of this is it shows cutbacks can easily be made on kids upbringing and we are over generous as a country with child tax credits etc.

Re: Teens hit street in £768 kits
i have a feeling im in a minority here! me and my 2 brothers used to wear designer clothes when we were in our teens, but personally it wasnt to be part of a crowd it was because i liked them, and not all my clothes were designer, would be a cheapo t-shirt and a nice jumper, and i had to work for them, i had 2 paper rounds and used to do odd jobs round the house so i could buy them.

Re: Teens hit street in £768 kits
I used to just go out in a cheap pair of jeans, a band t-shirt, & a pair of DMs.
No mobile phones or MP3 players when I were a lad lol.

Re: Teens hit street in £768 kits
Well I've been able to point my children to the activities of well known clothing brand names and their shameful association with slave and cheap labour and even child labour.It certainly awoke them to the idea that cheap and expensive logoed clothing might be responsible for some of the disgusting poverty in developing and undeveloped countries in the past and or future.
