Chavs
<div class="IPBDescription">Did anyone watch this ?</div> It was on Sky 1 tonight at 9PM.
For those of you that dont know what a chav is (also known as a NED in Scotland and various other names accross the UK), they are working class (not all working class people are chavs),
Now a lot of it was quite informative, but they decided to lie about most of it.
Id type more but ill end up comming off really angry, just wondering if anyone else saw this and what they thought of this.

Bling Bling!
Pretty close, minor differences, but all in all pretty close.
A Chav isnt realy like that since they vastly out number most groups in the UK and span many religeons and races.
Anyone the program was made by someone who considered themselfs a Chav and seemed to believe that most working class people and famous people in the UK are Chavs.
It also believed that its ok for people to do what they want (Which i agree with) even if it involves anoying other people, breaking laws and doing it off tax payers backs (which i dont agree with).
Personaly, I receive a verbal abuse from Neds all the time some throw bottles, stones, stuff at me as I walk past for no reason.
The program also blamed the middle class for the hostility between the middle class and the Chavs saying that because the middle class look down on them and call them names even although in my experience its them who start violence and cause the trouble, Iv never seen a middle/upper class person start abusing someone because they walked past.
they once referred to my pc.. as ' n ot as good as a playstation' not even a ps2. a ps1. i was insulted.
Whenever a bloody 12 year old starts on me, flipping hell, you can't retaliate or the whole Chav community will f***ing rip up your house.
What really anoys me about them though, is how they put on voices and then they actually get used to it and use that voice constantly.
Similarly, not all chavs are working class. In fact, the outstanding majority of those that I have come across are middle class.
Apparently a lot of people see the chav thing as a way of ripping on the "lower classes" (a term which I'm not fond of), but that's not what chavs are to me. To me, chavs are people that dress in a certain way, tend towards certain trends, and usually adopt a certain attitude. I guess a lot of them are working class, but not all, and not most of the ones that I've been exposed to.
Apparently I don't share this view with that many.
If you talk with that accent, swear every second word, love 'bucky' and your fave pasttime is bricking people, fighting or spraying graffiti that's not even remotely artistic (preferably about your 'gang' like Westburn Youth Crew or whatever their silly names are) then you're a chav/idiot/waste of skin to me <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif' /><!--endemo-->
What I'd describe them as rhymes with 'shunts'.

Most of the "chavs" that I know or know in passing come from the lower/middle class (mainly living in council estates). They often wear a gold chain (not "bling" as such, but more of a "fookin nice chain mate") around their neck and a full tracksuit (matching top, pants, socks and underwear) , which are normally made by La'coste, which cost an absolute bloody fortune. Often they and their family have no money to spend, yet they still spill out around 150 - 200 quid for a tracksuit. The boys have short hair/a shaved head and the girls have their hair tied back about as far as it is humanly possible, and then some. This would give them the rather comical appearance of a skeleton, but most of the girls are pretty overweight. Normally seen with a cig (silly filter) in hand and a bottle of aftershock (or another equally crap tasting drink) in the other. Also, the trend at the moment is to wear as many of those charity bands (the yellow cancer ones, the black and white racism ones, the blue anti-bullying ones, etc) as possible
Most people take the **** out of them for their choice of words ("ahh", "mate", "gizza", etc), but that is a regional thing, really. I speak like that myself, as do most of the people that I know. I have no problem with people fitting the above description, but the ones who hang around after dark, starting (trying to start a fight without actually attacking someone, for you non-brits) on random people, breaking everything they can place their hands on and smashing bottles everywhere.
In my opinion, we definitely need harsher anti-social laws in place, but unfortunately there are barely enough officers to cover bigger crimes like assault and theft, never mind anti-social behavior.
I guess, to summarize, don't lower your opinion of someone simply because they like spending 150 quid on a tracksuit and dressing in Burberry. Save your hateful opinions for those that behave like **** in public.

They probably wanted their livestock back, Andy.
