Chino Wanker vs. Complete Ledge - Battle of the Twitter LADs

Who wins the ultimate battle of bantersaurs?

Chino Wanker is great because he perfectly nails the stereotype of your typical late teens/early 20s student in this country. The feminine dress sense, the overuse of words like "swag", "banter" and "LAD", and the idolisation of people like Joey Essex. He provides a perfect social commentary on the youth of modern Britain, hidden behind catchphrases such as "totes Indie" and "#uksomethingorotherscene".

However, he only really tweets slogans to encapsulate a typical young British "LAD", and there's not as much dimension to him as Complete Ledge. We don't know much about his personal life, apart from the fact he's a student. Ledge, on the other hand, has informed us that he has mates called Damo and Karl, that he works in sales, that he drives an Avensis, his favourite food is an XL doner with no salad, his favourite haunt is Walkabout and he's quite partial to the old nose powder. Again, he has spawned catchphrases such as "you utter classic!" and "smashing targets!"

So who wins? You decide!
