    we're never going to agree, even if any of you actually grasped what I was actually saying.

    john,
    pehaps rather than just sigh and roll your eyes in what must be a very satisfying yet martyred way you could explain what you are saying, and possibly the context you are using to come to this conclusion if it's not too personal, in such a way that we can grasp it.
    cheers

    Well, here's an obvious example: this thread is called "council house face lift", the suggestion being that people who live in council houses and have combed back hair are chavs. Er, why, if chavness has nothing to do with class, the words "council house"? Are we supposed to think there is something intrinisically "chav scum"-like about people who live in council houses? Why? Because they live in council houses, or because they have combed-back hair? Isn't this just lazy stereotyping?

    The saying chavi is usully accompained by the 'Mush' and was asigned to the Travelling fetnerity as "Hoi, whats the chavvy mush doing?' the scrote popualtion seems to have hijacked it

    Exactly, I saw this on the web, found it really funny and thought I'd share it, that's it.

    Having siad that, having lived on a council esatate I could relate most of what the web said, it seemed to fit most of the charactors on the estate to a tee!

    A major Hurricane (Shazza) measuring 5.8 on the Richter scale hit in the
    early hours of Monday. Epicentre: Basildon, Essex. Victims were seen
    wandering around aimless muttering "faaackin ell" ...
    The hurricane decimated the area causing approximately £30 worth of damage.
    Several priceless collections of mementos from the Balearics and Spanish
    Costa's were damaged beyond repair. Three areas of historic burnt out cars
    were disturbed. Many locals were woken well before their giro arrived.
    Essex FM (County Radio Station) reported that hundreds of residents were
    confused and bewildered, still trying to come to terms with the fact that
    something interesting had happened in Basildon.
    One resident - Tracy Sharon Smith, a 15-year-old mother of 5 said "It was
    such a shock, my little Chardonnay-Mercedes came running into my bedroom
    crying. My youngest two Tyler-Morgan and Megan-Storm slept through it all.
    I was still shaking when I was watching Trisha the next morning."
    Apparently though, looting, muggings and car crime did carry on as
    normal.The British Red Cross has so far managed to ship 4,000 crates of
    Sunny Delight to the area to help the stricken locals.
    Rescue workers are still searching through the rubble and have found large
    quantities of personal belongings, including benefit books, jewellery from
    Elizabeth Duke at Argos and Bone China from Poundland.
    HOW CAN YOU HELP?
    This appeal is to raise money for food and clothing parcels for those
    unfortunate enough to be caught up in this disaster. Clothing is most
    sought after, items most needed include:
    * Fila or Burberry baseball caps
    * Kappa tracksuit tops (his and hers)
    * Shell suits (female)
    * White sport socks
    * Rockport boots
    * Any other items usually sold in Primark.

    Food parcels may be harder to come by, but are needed all the same.
    Required foodstuffs include:
    * Microwave meals
    * Tins of baked beans
    * Ice cream
    * Cans of Colt 45 or Special Brew.

    22p buys a biro for filling in the compensation forms
    £2 buys chips, crisps and blue fizzy drinks for a family of 9 £5 will pay
    for a packet of B&H and a lighter to calm the nerves of those affected.
    **Breaking news**
    Rescue workers found a girl in the rubble smothered in claret - 'Where are
    you bleeding from?' they asked - "ROMFORD" said the girl, "woss that got t

    Neither do I, I'm afraid. Lhatkins has had to deal with all kinds of crap to get where he is, so I think he's qualified to be down on these lazy sacks of sh*t.

    John - I understand your sentiments, but I don't agree that chavs should be lauded as martyrs etc; we pay for them to do sod all, so we can derive fun from mocking them. That's that said.

    How do you know what tax pays for them? Their income support could be paid by themselves via fags/booze and vat.

    My apologies as I have not read this thread but get the gist there is some mis-understanding.

    There is no need for chaviness, up bringing, money etc has no bearing.

    Full stop

    The booze/VAT thing won't pay for all of it, they have to pay rent too (or the government does) then you have NHS, the cost of a failed education etc.

    Also most the stuff chavs buy is pirated anyway so they hardly ever pay VAT, if they want a TV they go to the local fencers, if they want a car they either twoc it or buy a second hand Nova 3 months away from the failed its last MOT.

    Of course one problem with this entire thread is nobody has defiended what a chav/scally is :D

    To me a chav isn't somebody who wears a baseball cap, drives a Nova SRI and lives in a council house as they could have perfectly good jobs and live by the law. A chav to me is really a pitty crinmal or those who abuse the state welfare system.

    But if you have two scally parents named Jason and Kylie and daddy dives a nice B Reg Fiesta XR3i with no MOT and tryes like Clive James's head aren't you more likely to become one?

    Thing is You have not taken this to the logical conclusion. Chavs are like rats, the only reason kids are chavs is because their parents are chavs.

    In other words, if some twat hadn't decided burbery and blling bling were cool none of this would have happened
