Leigh, Vegas, Alexarndreacgh...

I have recently had an epiphany as to why I dislike Aisleyne from Big Brother. Aside from the fact that she is an irritating, manipulative tart (in the truest sense - watch this space for further posts on this topic), she also irritates me because I can't spell her name. Even though I'm not that fick, really, and she bloody well is. Why is it that chavs try to confuse us with bizarrely spelt names? Exasperating. Irony #1.

I recall some fine graffiti written on the wall of Gainsborough Tescos: "Leigh is a kidy fidla" I bet in this instance that it was "Lee", too. Irony #2.

Incidentally, when testing in chav schools in Chester-le-Street (near Newcastle) as part of a research job a couple of years ago, I came across endless examples, almost all of which escape me now. However Vegas was there. Her sister was some similar American tacky place name. Oh, the fallibility of memory.
