Can the bottom be slippery enough for someone to not regain their footing? People can stand up on ice, for example.

Then it’s a good thing I never said you can’t drown in a couple inches of water, now isn’t it? Do you not think it’s at least a little bit odd that she didn’t stand up in waist-deep water and the family isn’t questioning this?

Can’t swim? Not an issue since the water in a canal is still and only waist deep. There’s no need to even try to swim.

There’s no chavs. Tracksuits, caps and trainers are staples of working class fashion. 80% of young people aren’t “chavs” anymore than people with brown eyes are. You wouldn’t look at all the people in US suburbs wearing plain T shirts and jeans and call it a subculture.

In the UK, the combination of wearing a cap, tracksuit, trainers and a gold chain (or diamond ear stud) is a very popular/normal fashion style among white working class young people. Just like the Koala is a normal part of Australia.

Can’t erase what never existed in the first place, except in the minds of the snobs.

There’s still no evidence chav was ever a subculture. It was always a sneering insult to mock the working class.

You say that like sociologists aren’t saying the same thing.

That doesn’t confirm their existence. A person in a tuxedo can be a twat too, but you wouldn’t use a slur for him, I’m assuming.

Maybe because they don’t? Chavs being a thing was debunked ages ago but some people still think they’re real or want to believe they’re real to justify their classism.
