Bristol in general, yes, the normal amount for a city of its size. Around the uni though, hardly any. They can't afford to live in Clifton. The city centre on a Saturday night isn't great though.

From all the cities i have visited Bristol had a really low amount of chavs. People are generally really friendly around the university aswell so you don't need to worry about chavs.

Me too. Hopefully, the distinct lack of chavs will be one of Bristol's greatest plus points.
This was something I was gunna ask... The number of Chav's around Woking is absolutly aweful, its been getting me down recently.

Being 18 and 6'3" means that I dont ever get started on, but I just hate the way they **** everything up, vandalise stuff, and are generally, well, chavs.

From my limited experience, Bristol is chav free from Stoke Bishop down towards the university. It's in and around the Broadmead shopping bit that things start to get a bit chavish, but only slightly. Probably because all of the shops and eating establishments are more expensive along whiteladies road and down park street, the sudden flourish of cheaper eateries and more common shops in Broadmead means that our less economically adjusted friends hang out there. Of course, this is limited experience from the few times I've visited...

That's a pretty good analysis leeeo. From my experience of living in Bristol, all area's around the uni are practically Chav-free and, as you've said, I wouldn't imagine one would stumble across too many when walking to and from Stoke Bishop. I do wonder, however, whether Chav encounters may be a little more common on the busses which pass through Stokey B, since some of them start their routes in the 'scruburbs' of Chavtown and pass through S.B on their way to the centre...? I've not lived in the Halls, but maybe a current/previous resident could provide a better informed answer...

Incidentally, THIS provides a Chav's-eye opinion on the current state of West-country chavism :biggrin:
