My goodness, so far *everyone* likes red hair, but about 20% of respondents don't like freckles ... not sure what I expected, but I was surprised by such an overwhelming "yay" for red hair given the chav culture complaints about "gingers" ...

I suspect chav culture is underrepresented on Andy's friends list. ;)

Until recently I thought the chav ginger thing was just kids & teenagers being nasty little buggers to other kids & teenagers.

That was until I got a heap of verbal abuse from (adult, mid-30s) chavs while walking down the road near my work wearing a suit and carrying a briefcase. Bit sad really.

My partner gets abuse from chav adults and kids alike, and he's in his late 20s. Very pathetic and odd.

Or Andy's flist is just more Scottish than average? I don't recall any ginger-teasing when I was a kid - maybe cos it's about as common as any other hair colour.

I'm pretty sure attacks on redheads are at least 95% motivated by jealousy.

I figure it's possible that up to about 5% are motivated by the fact the attacker saw someone else doing it so they thought it must be cool.
