We're getting chavs in some Aussie cities now. Check Wollongong out, particularly at the beach at night.

Or go to the city shopping mall. There's nothing like a bunch of chavs snickering and yelling weird isht at you when you walk by them, just because you're not acting like a complete tw*t and they are.



You tell'em, Sikes!

And although some have disagreed with me in the past, I still say that Prince Harry would be a chav if he weren't born into the Royal family.


They're not Chavs here in the Gong. They're deros. Derelicts. They look like Chavs but have no money. The ones down at the beach at night aren't chavs either, they're mostly greeks and lebanese kids trying to be "gangstas" without realising that we don't have gangstas in australia and they just look stupid.

But they're not Chavs, chavs are a breed unto their own and can only really exist in England where the accent allows for the use of the chav language "oi'll knoife ya!" "innit" and other such examples.

"Fully sick bro" just isn't chav-speak, nor is "Hay Jaysun ya deekhed get that keed back over eere or we're not goan ta maccas fo dinnah"
 
I didn't meet any chavs in Durham when I lived there. Of course, the uni is quite high-brow, so that may be the reason. Newcastle (20 minute train ride away from Durham) on the other hand......lets not talk about it. :(

I don't think they're really acting like "ganstas" or anything. Trust me, I know what a gansta looks like, and how they generally act ---- I lived close to a rich suburban area. :eek:

The guys here are different.

And I hate hate HATE it when I'm walking to the city mall, and I see some guys standing around by a wall, and when I walk past them, they start yelling "Oy oy!!" and try to get into a convo with me, or start yelling isht to get at me.

And on several occasions, you get to see some preggo 17-18 year olds linger around them as well. Nothing like seeing two 16 year olds walking their 2 year old son to the mall.

I also hate the number of guys in nylon track suits with a bottle of beer/alcohol in their hand. I walk past them all the time when I have to walk to the mall. Now I just drive sometimes.

you think ? i doubt many of them could let along read nor write

it's all down to education you see:eek:

- not looking good these day's either lol:(
Yes except in Victorian times, all those too poor to be educated would have been working, they were usually much more respectable to tohers too. The chavs of that day would have had some money and been educated to an extent, so would have been fairly similar in respects to today. I merely mentioned grammar for comical effect.

The collective for chavs is quite clearly a scum of chavs anyway.

Chav capital of the UK?

Hull. :eek:
Believe me, there are much worse places in the UK. Even Nottingham is fairly good at times compared to other places, but then again, we do have a lot of students in town to dilute the chaviness of a night out.

Northampton has become quite chav recently (the last time I visited). Gloucester is a nightmare and it is spilling over into Cheltenham (of all places).
 
Been away for a couple of years, already losing out on the Lingo - Chav's?

Leighton Buzzard
I saw this town on the list and was amazed that nobody has actually posted on it. I have only ever been there a few times, although i often pass on the way to milton keynes. it is probably the most chav-infested hell hole i have ever seen. one day, unfortunately i was not present, my friends had gone shopping when a lardy girl (dressed in bling and a tracksuit) decided for no particular reason to light one of my friend's hair on fire. she must have been no older than 15. my friend put her hair out but when they stopped and sat on a bench the girl came up and punched my other friend square in the face with no warning. when, and this is when the true chavness of leighton buzzard becomes apparent, they called the police, the woman who arrived simply suggested that they should have had a fight with her to 'sort it out'. thank god for the police. whatout them it seems chavs would be running the streets..."

I knew there was a good reason for leaving, though Milton Keynes is Chav and Wannabe central IMO.
 
I haven't been to the UK, so I don't now firsthand. But please tell me that this is a timely venting session and that this chav problem isn't really that bad. You guys make it sound like they're taking over the country or something.

Believe me, it is getting that bad. Add in poor police moral and you have a major problem in cities and towns across the UK.

In general the UK is a safe place - though that could have changed already! :rolleyes: We're headed back for Xmas/New Year - frankly if we hate it then friends and family can come see us in Canada.

It doesn't matter where you go in the world, there are always a negative minority.
 
Heh, you guys think you have it bad. Well, we get the real thing over here. The originals, so to speak. Just spend a day in my father's classroom one town over, and you'll probably see at least one pregnant 7th grader (12-13). Heck, there were two at the start of last year.

Also, can anyone decipher this for me? I think it's English, but it seems to be missing something...

Speed garage is the fckin don of music....ive heard of guns 'n' roses...im a chav but they've been and gone, c'mon...stop hangin on and expand your interest huh?

Sad thing is, he looks like someone I went to high school with, except dumber (and the guy I know failed an open-textbook quiz in biology, and he had his book!)

I took the quiz, and it said I was a rock grunger too. Except I listen to more than just one kind of music, and they didn't even have my favorite color on there!

I think both are translated into "I'm a scumbag moron. Please somebody put me out of my misery."

Inserts Babelfish into one's ear....

"v. shaggable ennet! he iz well nice. im lukin n im lykin!" - Nice guy. I like the look of him and I'd sleep with him if he asked. Though my Mother would kick me out of the house if she found out.

"Speed garage is the fckin don of music....ive heard of guns 'n' roses...im a chav but they've been and gone, c'mon...stop hangin on and expand your interest huh?" - IMHO Speed Garage is great to listen to. I've heard of Guns n' Roses, however since I'm a trendy youngster I don't want to listen to them. Don't tell me how good/bad they were, come and listen to my 'collection' instead.

Really? Oh dear, I'm going there at the end of the month to buy all the houses. Are they still cheap?
Still quite cheap in some parts of town – the chav parts, naturally. ;) Seeing as you're from down south (and therefore fabulously wealthy) you'll probably be able to buy loads up.

What is happening to the world? Why are we letting them rule our lives?
The main problem is that they breed so quickly. Your professional types are increasingly putting off having children until later in life, while your chav types are normally dropping the first at 14-15. So they reproduce twice as fast and the rest of us are overrun. Elizabeth Duke can hardly keep up production to meet demand...
 
I love some of the comments on the ChavScum site....especially this one:

acctually i still go 2 skool i jus cant be f**d to typr fill wrds lyk all o u lot taint my fault in ya cant undastand me n jus coz i look tha way i do n sound tha way i do dont mean you should judge me lyk u do ..........u wood probly see me n think AHHHHHH f***n chav stab er y dont u get to no ppl lyk normal ppl do b4 u go jippin em off

I have an apprentice who has a Ford Fiesta 1.1 (dressed up as a XR2) and he has put black tights over his rear lights. Does this count?
 
Denshaw has had no chav sightings. alright its made up of about 5 roads. but still.
Oldhams quite bad but its mainly kids only. Manchester is bad for adult chavs, sorta. theres too much of everyone to really notice. all i see in Manchester are emo and punk people. i just hide.

this guy is in denshaw, he's looking for signs of life.
