Vincent,I think you hit the nail on the head mate.Alot of younger Teds in the 50's were of course still at school & working class so couldn't afford a Drape.But they are still Teds.I for one was a Ted before I could afford a Drape.All I had was a bootlace Tie & a tub of Brylcreem.

It's interesting if you look at images of original Teds, Mods, Skinheads, Punks etc, they rarely fit the later stereotypical uniform image of those groups but tend to be more individualistic in their dress sense.

I loved that comment; "we only went down there so we diddnt have to go home for our tea" Bless em! How times change eh?

The usual non-christian attitude from that vicar mind.

Love Teddy Boys. A lot of people say that if it wasn't for Mods and Rockers in the 60s, teenagers would have lead a very boring life, when it was actually Teddy Boys in the 50s that brought the essence to teenager and youth life. They were the first true rebels that Britain had ever seen.It;s been said that the culture in 50s Britain was the watershed with the Teddy Boys. The 60s enhanced it,

@flaxonx3 not to me,they were a bunch of soft cunts,once you faced em down. oright in a pack ,but alone ,they shit it. still dont like the scruffy cunts to this day.

[flaxonx3]

Don't know why but Teds were always the most menacing of all the youth cults including skinheads.

[alicebinns]

without teds, there would be no teenagers! fashion would not be the same today if it wasn't for the teds. i love them, assets to Britain they were

My dad was a Ted in the 50's in London and I became Ted in Edgware in the 70's.
