Do you live in a Chav town?

Is your town, a ''chav'' town? Find out here I live in a chav town, but that is to be expected because I live in a major city. There is also a funny picture here and I wear trackies, which cost over 100 quid, which is ex-pen-sive! And as long as they aren't harming anyone, there is nothing wrong with chavs, its just people who wear tracksuits are mainly the ones attracting attention to themselves, and then people who wear trackies are given a stereotype.

Depends where...

Whilst kids get shot at in Saaarf London, the most trouble you'll get in Kensington is a nasty flower arrangement...

The fair old town of Tamworth!

Aah I know Tamworth! Walsall tends to be semi-chav, semi-skater :p:

I cant believe some of the things that are said on the ChavScum Forum. :smile: Are any of you members on there? It is great when people kick off and argue, oh the joy of the safety a computer screen brings.

Islington, London. I'm thinking definitely.
But at least here my parents can afford to give me my own room.

Wolverhampton's not really very chavvy (bar the bus station and Heath Town), but Portsmouth is a Chav capital.. :eek:
Telford.

I found multiple results, one entry saying "TELFORD this town turned me chav god did i fight it but had to succumb eventualy". Which made me laugh.
So yes, my town is a chav town. Thankfully - I am not.
:biggrin:

EDIT: What made me laugh even more was when someone left a comment saying something along the lines of, "I agree. And there's too many roundabouts"... :rolleyes: :cool:

Oh, wait, even better, "i am only 18 years old, yes i do have a baby, yes i do shop in Topman, yes i do like to go to maccy Ds for a big mac, yes i will probably get a modded car when i pass my test, yes i like to smoke the odd spliff, yes i like to binge drink, yes i like to laugh at dirty GAY MAKEUP wearing grebos, yes i like to play football in my sports attire, and yes i do like to go for a night on the town. but i AM NOT A CHAV, stereotyping is wrong."

How I love my home town.
Erm I'd say so.
A few streets away from my house, I've seen chav kids bullying younger kids, burned out cars, broken bicycles, spray cans, vandalism, graffiti.
Also when I was about 10, I was walking home from school and this 15/16 year old chav came up to me, put his hands in my coat pocket and took a sheet of paper out. He shouted to his brother, "Hey bro, I've got a fiver"
I replied, "It's a bus ticket." Stupid chav hadn't even looked at it. What a dumbass. Then he took some of my sweets. His bigger brother was watching so i couldn't run off. He was huge btw. His sister was a minger though, yuck.
The following week, i saw him trying to unchain my bike in my garden!
Started kicking my fence in frustration and ran off. I told him to get lost and went inside my house.
Then a few months later, i saw him relieving himself on my local golf course as I was cycling around it! It was disgusting! :mad:

Walthamstow...I dunno. Apparently it is though:

" This town is disgusting. From its many run down parks to its abandoned factories and houses, the chvs will go anywhere to smoke there pot and take there heroine. Me a mere 13 year old boy can not leave my humble house without being in fear of being mugged or 'happy slapped' "

This person, my friends, is a moron.

"I lived in both Charlton and Woolwich and I can say that Charlton is quite a nice place to live - not very Chav at all. The only unpleasant thing was the guy upstairs who used to beat up his pregnant wife when he came home every two weeks (he was on the run from the police, who used to come knocking on our door all the time asking if we had seen him). Oh, and the 10 year old lads selling drugs across the street in the local council estate. But other than that, it was alright.
Woolwich was much worse - it was just a horrible nasty place - lots of murders and violent attacks all the time. At night when it got dark the local council estates turned into open air drugs markets. And possibly the UK's highest percentage of poundstretcher / Happy Shopper outlets per metre.
Overall though, neither of these is very Chavey. Charlton is just quiet - and Woolwich is just dangerous." - Nov 04

Oh my how things changed.
