This is the Conversation Forum for Subcultures of the British Teenage Population << Avril Lavigne Scallies >> Subject: Scallies not Townies! (mistake) Posted Apr 6, 2004 by Asmodai Dark (The Eternal Builder, servant of Howard, Crom, and Beans)   Posting 1 I live in manchester, and i have never heard the expression townies. Scallies is more used, especially when refering to 'Yoof' in general, who all seem to be scallies. And whats this half breed rubbish for indie moshers. No, its just indie. No need to slap another label on the other end IMO... Read the First Reply to this Posting Subject: Scallies not Townies!

Because I can't be arsed buying a Parka. And townies round here is interchangable with Trendies (ie anal retentive scum). So Andi Smith would be a Trendy/Townie in Manc terminology. Hope that clarifies it AD! Read the First Reply to this Posting Subject: Scallies not Townies!

And I live in Manchester too, and I've always called them townies, although, the rest of my relatives do live near Chester, which might have something to do with it...
