Flashy gold jewellery (hooped earrings, thick neck chains, sovereign rings and heavy bangles); 'prison-white' trainers (so clean that they look new); clothes in fashionable brands with very prominent logos; and Burberry check baseball caps: the British phenomenon of chavs, townies, call them what you will.
Chav women, the Daily Mail wrote recently, 'pull their shoddily dyed hair back in that ultra-tight bun known as a "council-house facelift", wear skirts too short for their mottled blue thighs, and expose too much of their distressingly flabby midriffs'.
And now there's a website dedicated to tracking this not-so-new phenomenon...
http://www.chavscum.co.uk/index.php
Check out the videos (scroll down to the posting for 6/8/2004): real or fake?
Certainly brilliant!
Update: There has been a great (as in notably large in size) debate regarding the specific status of Chavs, Neds, Townies...etc. It is apparent now, that this world of people DO exist. For information on why/how Chavs are/are not cool, scroll through the following posts. Otherwise, another post regarding why/how Chavs are/are not cool is probably not necessary.

I've been on that website before...I don't think it's necessarily a hoax...more like someone poking fun at a particular fashion display. |

Sure, it's a joke site not a hoax site... still, as they say 'it's funny coz it's true'... |

And just to add my $0.02, I think they look really ridiculous & when I see them I mentally tally up their chav points. (I'm in the U.S., we don't call them chavs...we usually call them R&B artists!) |

i have the misfortune to go to school in a particularly chav-ridden area of the United Kingdom (of which i am mostly v proud) and would like to offer these translations:
owen, dec 9:
i am displeased with these comments, and will take physical action to express my displeasure
michelle, dec 10
i am a member of the peasant underclass, and i am of the opinion that you ought [not?] create web sites about us because we do not make websites about you, our social betters, because we are not abnormal. may i suggest you find another activity with which to enrich your life? I am aged 13, with blonde hair and blue eyes. I am a tall, tanned, slim, romantically attached female from newcastle.
michelle and chloe, dec 11
your attention please, people who create websites about us members of the peasant underclass, kindly find another activity with which to enrich your life because we do not create websites about you, who are in desperate need of finding another activity with which to enrich your life.
holly, dec 11
i think that the creation of web sites about the peasant underclass is a worthwhile activity. It is funny, i dislike these peasans because they annoy me, although i must admit i am somewhat smitten by one myself
Hope this helps!! |

I don't think I can rival your fine translations, Nick. But I believe they were trying to say: "You people should not make web sites about chavs, because they're the best."
However, I could be wrong. |
