umm...NO living in Essex it's clear what a chav is, and alot (not all) of them cause alot of trouble and i wouldn't want to be classed as a one because unless you are one every body hates them!

Fer Christ's sake give it a rest with Chavs already!!

Personally I think it's a bit sad that so many people wear boat shoes and Yottie jackets to the London Boat Show and the Dinghy Show. I mean in London, even in winter/spring you're hardly going to need that amount of waterproofing or grip in the wet. So there you go another (frankly ridiculous looking) stereotypical group, easily identifiable and probably hated with as much passion by some.

it could be just me as i'm from quite a posh area and a few of the chavs we have here have parents who own/joint own yachts and stuff

i know about burberry (hey who doesn't) but i thought pringle print was more "townie" than flat out "chav" because it was a fashion phase

Uncanny... Only this morning, I was wondering what CHAV stood for, and boom! the forum provides the answer.
