Fair do's I guess. One person's meat .......

Great site mate, but an ocker is nothing like a chav. An ocker is an over-the-top aussie who has dived into the shallow end of the gene pool once too often.

They are completely inoffensive :beer:

Yeah you`re right, I was being unfair. The amount of people who have taken the piss out of me over here though, wanting me to say all the `ocker` things :)

What`s your favourite colour Blue? G`day Shiela and all that jazz :)

The amount of times I heard someone say G`day in Perth when I grew up you can count on one hand (except when the America`s Cup was on when the catchphrase was "G`day from W.A". sick.

At least Ockers are generally cheery people :)

I'm told my avatar is very 'ockerish'
