Amazing but true... For months, I have read threads regarding charvas, and their associated language. Unfortunately, I have never had the pleasure to experience the spoken phrase that causes so much amusement. That was, until Friday 4th, coming out of Promise at around Teatime. A youth, around the age of 14-30, its hard to tell their age really, wearing a fake Burberry cap, shell suit bottoms tucked into his socks, a jacket slung off his shoulders and swaggering the way this sub species walk approached myself and Lisa. His words were classic and I will treasure them forever. 'Hoo mista can ya lend us a tab hoo? When I said 'no' he immediately asked Lisa the same question. Amazingly, a fellow eating a sandwich nearby was also asked the same question. The funny thing was, every time he asked the question, he put his hand to his mouth and made the action of smoking, as if perhaps he needed to reaffirm what he was asking to himself.
its worse where im at in sunderland - everytime i leave the flat its basically the same role play! sumtimes get asked if i want to buy some 'cowies'/'dope' too but there not to be trusted !
i must just look like the sort they'd try it on! nah - it's really bad - then again i do go to the pub on the corner quite often cos my m8 works behind the bar!
