Why do these sub working class women go about in their pyjamas to the shops and collecting their kids from school? Is it that they cannot afford day time clothes? Is it that their work ethic is so poor that they just cannot be bothered to put on their shellsuit?

What if men decided to follow suit? Considering most sleep in their underwear anyway it could lead to some hilarious and upsetting views as many sub working class men are overweight slobs anyway due to their diet of "microchips", takeaway fritters and suppers and 40 fags a day.

So the question really, is why?

easy access for the postmans, milkmans, next door neighbours hand. saves time in buttoning up before thier ex boyfriends call around to pick up their kids.

also elasticated waistbands for their ever growing fat asses helps.

I find that using starch when ironing the collar up ensures minimal chance of collar flop, a highly embarrassing clothing malfunction.

What is sub-working class? Is it because Cork is nearly wholly comprised of scobes, you have to distinguish between the different grades?

Below the working class you have the welfare class.

Used to see loads of these pyjama welfare people all the time when I lived in Mulhuddart in Dublin. Im living in Cavan 3 months now and just last Friday I saw my first Cavan Pyjama person. I was on my way to work and this girl walked past me in full PJ mode.

The lumpenproletariat; the "working" class who have no intention of living up to that name.

Nobody should have a go at these people. How would you like it if everybody took the piss out of you after your traumatic escape from a blazing house in the middle of the night, after your wardrobe got torched.

You sure she wasn't from Mulhuddart? A lot of the people who were evicted from there were relocated down to Cavan!

Well the term "working class" originally referred to people who... worked. I don't think the type of person to whom the OP is referring would be hugely bothered about getting a job.

They are f*ck you clothes.

Like 'I don't have to get dressed and I give not a sh1t about accepted standards and things like working'

Like when skangers/skanger children walk across/in middle of the road and hear and see your car coming and just kinda walk in front of you really slowly cos why should they move, its their road after all.

And to think.. if I mow them over I'm in the wrong.

Didn't think this existed outside of North Strand....thought the closest thing we had down the country was girls who plastered themselves in make up and then put on their best Gaelic jersey and track suit bottoms.

Oh yeah, spot-on. Hate those *****. They just lash buggies out in front of you. Or if you're reversing, they saunter behind you.

I dunno, the term working class is generally used by bourgeoisie who want to look down on others. So the OP is conceivably in the market for someone to look down upon, but isn't high enough on the food chain to snipe at the "regular folk".

Nothing wrong with looking down on scobes. And they'd laugh at anyone who'd champion them.

OMG this goes on in Portarlington all the time. There is one lady in particular in the town you coult meet her anywhere in her pj's the bank, post office, supervalu, school. Also another family in town wear pj's all day kids included and they do be out playing in pyjamas. It's mental is it just to too much effort to dress yourself.

But sure it's not their fault, society has made them like that

They should be given a clothes allowance every week.

I think they should have to pay a tax 'cause they make us look bad. The tax rate would vary though; the fatter the 'bord', the higher the tax.

It might even help the economic crisis.
