i think he was just making a point about the dangers of making a judgement based on appearnace, which you seemed to be advocating.

It's the look and the image they project, that's what bothers me. It's a personal preference, and the total opposite of the originator of this thread. Your suggesting that this group are likeable almost cartoon like characters. I knew many "geezers" in my younger days, and they were for the most part nasty and certainly not worthy of admiration.

[StraferJack]

There is something in what you say about choosing a style as opposed to ethnicity, so in that sense it might be perceived as clumsy and if it dd bother you, I apologise

But a prejudice is still a prejudice surely? What happened in your younger days is no doubt a truth, but it's anecdotal and doesn't really square with the fact that many geezers are no better/worse than anyone else

[Seabag]

This is NOT an anti Geezer thread

It's also NOT a chav bashing thread

It's a celebration of a classic part of male culture, nothing nasty

As ????'s says...

Diamond as in Diamond Geezers

When you talk to the 'geezers' in my pic- you know they are geezers- and they are diamonds too!

Oh dear - you've fallen into the obvious tabloid definition that is unable to determine chappiness by degrees, you have obviously never been in the The Queens (20 minutes to k.o.) when the call to prayer is heard "Awright chaps, let's go!"

Oh I see, it was the magazine that threw me

Queens , where that maxxi ?

Ahhhh, The Queens.

And connected, a famous geezer (in certain circles) and an occasional visitor to the Queens was quite well known for introducing himself to other geezers on the Shed, say, with a "Good afternoon gentleman my name's Bill *******"
