...champers chums...
I can't remember my grandparents (from Windy Nook, Gateshead) using that one. However, when I checked my Tyneside dictionary, I note the word "champion" (champers) is defined as "first class."
Also can't remember there being any flights, with first class, leaving NCL. However, if I ever visit again, and leave by first class, I'll be sure to get a dispensation from the local Labourite head and board wearing dark glasses and a trenchcoat!
Seriously, the working class continues to get short changed and term ("slag") you referenced is, clearly, insensitive. I still can't understand, however, why my working class neighbors continue to vote Republican!
