I understand "cockney", from a part of London?, but chavs had to look it up. However the "The Magaluf scally. "has got me scratching my head? ???? Bob is obviously an insider. He knows all the differences between those people. That is one of the pictures which comes up when I google cockney chavs And this one for Magaluf scally 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Scouse123 Posted December 15, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted December 15, 2022 I don't get the correlation between Magaluf Chavs or Benidorm Brits and Ex-Army? What possibly made you arrive at that conclusion? Can you enlighten us please? Incidentally, which part of Thailand are you referring to? I am Ex - Navy and have never found your comments or what you are implying to represent Ex Army guys. The guys you are referring to sound more like Football thugs or Irish Travellers. 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They misbehave in Benidorm or Magaluf, which are hot spots for young guys 18-30, whose sole intention is to get drunk or drugged out of their mind, walk around generally annoying people, loud and obnoxious etc and just not good people to be around.

But wait- a 'scally' is a scouser, meaning no offence on your name of course. Other than that I think the OP was being a bit liberal with his language in order express his utter abhorrence of these dreadful louts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scally is just a Scouse shortening of the word scallywag, defined as "a person, typically a child, who behaves badly but in an amusingly mischievous rather than harmful way; a rascal."

Thank you. That perfectly explains why the rest of us refer to you jolly rascals as scallys. It makes sense it is derived from scallywag, but interesting that the language use has defined the users in this case, Edited December 15, 2022 by Slip you not your Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Immigrants began when the Normans arrived in 1066 . London has been made the new home for Germans , French , Spanish , Italians and dont forget the Jewish since that date . I think you are referring to colonial immigration from India , Pakistan and Jamaica . All contributing to making London what it is today that began in the sixties when the UK needed workers iin the sixties . Oh yes , do not forget the Irish contribution as they say London was built by Irish labour . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Humans first evolved in Africa, and much of human evolution occurred on that continent. The fossils of early humans who lived between 6 and 2 million years ago come entirely from Africa. Most scientists currently recognize some 15 to 20 different species of early humans. https://humanorigins.si.edu/education/introduction-human-evolution 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
