From listening to GH Davies, Prescott describes Sharp Set as ‘strung out teenagers with a knife fixation’; ‘Sharp’ is the universally applied adjective in dress, thinking and steel blades – so useful for chopping up lines of sulphate and your enemies.

Sharp Set like to consider themselves gangsters, and dress the part as far as possible; initiation allegedly involves elaborate skin marking, doubtless inspired by the Japanese Yakuza.

They aspire to dominating the LCPS rackets, but without any great success so far, beyond Speed and Cigarettes.

Their closest allies are Blue Brigade, but they get on reasonably well with Punk; they are naturally wary of Heavy, and look down on New School and Old School.

Sharp Set are ‘chic’; they set much store by looking ‘sharp’ – that is stylish, polished, smooth, gangsterish.

For the enterprising Sharp Set wise guy or moll, here is a lexicon of gangster slang.
