ABSTRACT
This chapter focuses mainly on the bar and sporting life of working class men and youths distributed across both Selton Town and Vermount. The role of bar life in particular acts to compensate working class men for the prestige they fail to gain in their roles at the workplace. Therefore, it plays a more important part in their lives than the lives of the middle class. It is consequently elaborated to a higher degree. There is no doubt that Peter Wilson's dichotomy between respectability and reputation is applicable to the residents of Selton Town and Vermount though the chapter prefers to make the distinction between respectability and behavior on display. The bars of Vermount present only an embryonic form of life in the better known Selton Town bars. Both the Vermount and the Selton Town football clubs were constituted formally in 1973 when the Major League competition was organized.
