This is a survey on the youth subculture of Lads/Eshays/White-hats. If the latter two of these names do not ring any bells to you, chances are you aren't from NSW, particularly Sydney's West. I would appreciate it if you only did this if you know what I'm talking about. Thank you.

Do you believe the violent way they act should be respected because it is part of their culture? Shit NO, we live in Aus. alot of them are aussie proud but that does not mean they can break the law coz its their 'way'. no i do not respect them
Do you feel intimidated when in the presence of lads? depends, i had alot of lad friends, and still speak to some but i noe which ones are the truly bad ones (generally older ones) and they good ones who are jus young, vunerable and too easily impressionable
Do you have any lad friends? yes
Do you ever hang out with a group of lads? yes if i need a cone
Thank you.

lads.vs.lads
at my local maccas a group of younger 'enemy' lads (they're in KS and frm Rozelle) hooliganising about, the manager gets the phone out and i know from experience hes gona call the cops so i tell the youngeens get out now, its best for you. so they all slowly dispersed from the venue and then to my suprise my local boys (db or LOK? i dno anymore) come driving round with eggs and egged em. i asked my lad friends why they jus egged their own kind and they responded 'they;re younger, we can do what we like to em'....

Hmmm we always go skating down Maroubra beach but when we hear the lads coming we get out fast. Yeah, thats pretty much all I've got.
