On how many digits must rings be worn before one is considered a bit of a chav?

[Bozza]

Eating a pub meal yesterday evening I was taken by a bit of a rumpus at a nearby table caused when the food for one couple was brought quite a while after the food for their dining partners. Turns out they had ordered separately, presumably so that they only had to pay for their own. Because of this, I felt they deserved all they got.

Anyway, I digress, this quite normal looking middle-aged woman who was doing the moaning was giving it a load of "I'm normally such a passive person but this has been sooooooo ridiculous."

And then I noticed her hands. On one hand 3 fingers were bedecked in gold spangly rings and, on the other, 2 fingers were similarly 'decorated'. So, 5 fingers in total and enough, I concluded, for her to look a wee bit chavvy.

How many fingers of jewellery would be enough for you to apply a mental 'chav' tag?

 

[Frutos]

Can depend as much on the kind of jewellery that is being worn, as much as the quantity of it.

Four fingers, each adorned with stuff that is clearly high quality looks far less chavvy than one finger with an Elizabeth Duke sovereign on it, for example.

You appear to have forgotten the 10+ option to cover your West Countryfolk neighbours Bozza.

What about Prince Albert rings as I've only got one

How are they going to get 10 rings on webbed fingers?

Does a Sovereign ring count as a double ?

 

[csider]

More than 2 on each finger unless wedding. If all other fingers are covered in any old tat, CHAV.

Anything more than one on a geezer is unnaceptable and even one is only alright if he's married.

The laydees as Frutos says can wear a few if they're nice. Personally I think of all gold jewellery as chavvy, even if its expensive stuff. Gold just looks shit and ostentatious.

I was really pleased when I lost my original gold wedding ring, as it gave me the chance to replace it wth a white gold one that looks about 1000 times better, and goes with all my watches.

Agreed.

Incidentally, Dolly Parton reportedly sends herself up by saying to audiences: 'It costs a lot of money to look this cheap'.

It does, innit.

How many watches do you usually wear then Hans ?

I'd disagree on that one.

I personally wear two on my right hand, one being a signet ring that I got from my parents when I turned 13 (now I couldn't remove it without cutting it off anyways), and one that was a gift from my grandparents for my 18th birthday.

Again, I think it depends as much on what's being worn as anything else.

 

[The Grub]

3 i think.

Sounds like grounds for a banning.

Its a fair point. Maybe this needs to be raised on your Ask Uncle Buck thread.

Tch, no wonder people complain about 'nazi mods'

Working as I do, for the largest watch company in the world, I own about 40. You will never see me wearing more than one at a time though. Some of my colleagues have been known to wear two, but they are PLUMS.

Hmmmm.

And you couldn't even fish one out for a raffle prize. Disgrace.

I did actually arrange for a £70 Swatch Irony as one of the prizes, but the chap who was responsible for requisitionning it for me left it too late and it did not arrive in time. He's a Hammers fan.
