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...
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 really wish they'd stop. They complain about how the original website talks bad about them, and then they do this. They are only confirming that the site is right about them and their ilk. Also, isn't this what MS Messenger is for?

Sorry Chloe + Shellie I am not familiar with your slang. In order to understand you I must learn it, kind of like learning German in order to visit Germany and be able to talk with them.
