    PinkLipGloss, you're right in all you say, that's the stereotype, but I wouldn't label someone a ned just because of how they dress, or speak, for me it's about their attitude and the way they treat people. My girls used to get a lot of abuse from "neds" for being goths, but they've met some really nice people most people would look at and think "ned". They hated being judged on their style of clothing, and had to learn not to be hypocrites and do it to others!:)

    Well today I was told: "Mum, I really like you because you are soft". I still can't work out if it's a compliment or an insult lol.
