I think you're leaping to conclusions there trailmonkey. I'd say being a chav only really occurs in "working class" families (I've yet to see a middle-class chav) and so yes it is a class thing, but doesnt mean all of the class have to participate. As a working class-ish bloke without a loyalty card at JJB I find this thread amusing.

See plenty of middle class chavvyness here. It's about attitudes not social background.

Come onto STW and fill yer pockets !
Actually chav is a pikey word TM, so I reckon class probably comes into it.
But hey, let's not spoil the fun by getting bogged down with stuff like that.
Here is a snapshot of small town central Scotland just now whilst I'm sat in the sunshine nursing a case of Gout.
Over the back wall is a guy who doesn't work as he's on the sick. At this moment he's digging the garden listening to sh*t techno music (not loudly). He has dog's tattooed on him. (chav scale - high) but he may be suffering and is just prettifying the garden for his wife and kids.
On my right is my former woodwork teacher preparing his caravan for another week away with his wife in Perthshire enjoying their retirement. (chav scale - n/a)
A minute ago on my way back from the shop I passed my mate in his convertible boxter. He's wearing a vest and has what could be deemed sh*t tattooes but is a thoroughly nice bloke who is always happy and never has a bad word to say about anyone. Chav scale (to me 3/10 to everyone else probably high)
Over the road earlier I saw a guy walking his dog with the shirt wide open displaying his gut to the world, he was shouting loudly to his mate on the other side of the road. I don't find this offensive although some do. (to me 3/10 everyone else again probably high)
Yesterday I spotted a young lass in her pyjamas buying fags and booze in the shop. She may have a perfectly legit reason for dressing this way but I don't know her so I'll give her high marks in the Chav scale.
Then there's me, walking with a limp from the same shop with shorts on and a carrier bag of guff, magazines and sweets. to the outside world I'm fairly chav looking but in my head I'm alright, suffering from a gout attack and needing a day of rest in the sun after weeks of hard work.
I don't know what I'm trying to achieve here but that's my findings anyway. Fire away!
Do chavs get gout? I think not. Gout comes from Port, not Bacardi Breezers. Ergo, you are not a chav.
the answer to the original question is that if you invent a stereotype it will always conform to your expectations
"Do chavs get gout? I think not. Gout comes from Port, not Bacardi Breezers. Ergo, you are not a chav."

No-one ever seems to be able to agree what a "chav" is, where the word originates from or what it means. So the argument is not a terribly useful one. If gardening in your pants makes one a chav, then clearly I am a chav. Although if I am a chav then chavitude is a rather good thing. Of course, if I had gout as well then it would be more complicated. 🙂
Gout would stop you gardening but keep you in your pants. Does this help?
The gout sounds like a bad thing, and you have my sympathy. 🙂

Pure class!
BTW They drink Fosters as it's drinkable in large quantities (low alcohol content, low flavour factor) and cheap. My local top-of-the-range chavs are more sophisticated - White Lightning in large plactic bottles (an apple a day...). And no fake B., rather some West Hounslow Market-derrived almost original Armani.

Well, so you reckon...

I won't have my self-esteem ground down by your classist sniping Rudeboy. Just because I don't have burberry pants. 🙂
Burberry? The very thought. I much prefer Dolce e Gabana, or Prada.
CFH; is there a sign like that in Wiltshire towns, 'beware of upper-middle class ponces'? 😉
There was but the Chav's ripped it down IIRC.
LOL!
🙂

Middle class? sure if you're on £500,000+
People try to make themselves look better as they're insecure.
This thread is like a bunch of bitching old women.
Be proud of yourselves folks...
I couldn't care if you're a chav or or the Queen-you're all the same to me.
Zaskar its not laughing at/bitching about people trying to better themselves dont know where you picked that up from?
I dont think your average chav is trying to better themself by wearing pyjamas to ASDA, owning a staffie that sh1ts on your doorstep, and dropping his macdonalds wrappers wherever he/she wants
ok, there seems to be a lot of misinformation and unwarranted bias on here.
Up here in Jockland, we call them NEDs - (Non Eductaed Delinquents), which seems completely fair and non-discriminatory, based on the fact that they're thick and they're thieves.
Oh, did mean to go on a bit but A&E have have just called to tell me my mum's in so I'd better go and see what she's done to herself.
