Although the campus doesn't really have chavs, the town is infested with them. To me Bath has an overrepresentation of a chav population for the size of the city. The town centre seems to have a disproportionate amount of these unfortunate individuals

Admittedly I don't spend much time in town, but in all honesty I've not seen many chavs since I got here. I used to work in Topshop in Bath and barely any came in.

Obviously there are chavs here, there are bound to be some chavs anywhere you go. But I don't think there are as many as you're making out; I notice more sloaneys than chavs!

nah, u cant really avoid them. but to me, bath probably has the lowest population of chavs, as i did a little search on chavtown.com , if you go to eastbourne or hastings, im sure you will get frightened sooo much

Bath is very low on chavs compared to Loughborough or Leicester. Loughborough is smaller than bath but infested with chavs!!

Depends where you go - if you hang around the bus station, or the area around Wetherspoons there's loads.

Mate, you are talking out your f**king arse.

Bath has hardly ANY chavs, and compared to places like Bristol, London, etc. its practically chav-free!

So um, yeah, your wrong.

There are lots of 'trevs' who hang out around McDonalds and Boots, most of whom go to Hayesfield, Beechen Cliff & Culverhay.

Sit down in between McDonald and Boots and you will see excessive amounts of chavs. And these chavs are not the Beckhmam wannabe types they are the scally types who think White Lightning is the height of sophistication.

Compared to Cardiff City centre, Bath proportionally has a greater chav population. There are bad Chav enclaves in Cardiff but the problem isn't so prevalent in the city centre.

Yeah, there are a fair few chavs outside Boots/McDonalds, but you barely ever see them anywhere else.

And you can't just compare the place to Cardiff! As someone already said, what about comparing it to Bristol? Or London? Or Manchester?
