I'm baffled by the response to this poll. I am from Chatham where it is said the Chav culture began and it was a label that was originally given almost in a kind of jovial manner but has since become known nationwide and applied across all our counties. My poll was simply designed to create some humour and get some fun ideas, it should not be taken too seriously  "Chav"culture did not begin in chattam. Chavs have been around since before the word was invented. They have existed in their various forms for decades. Very true |

Any word can be made derorgatory but it depends entirely on the context.
Please use the word 'chav' in a context that is not derogatory. "freddie star ate my chav" |

now i see where you're coming from, couldnt you have posted this at the start so the thread couldve been taken off and i couldve saved myself the time in trying to highlight your benighted prejudice.
I think your tone is uncalled for. I agree that a lot of prejudice is down to ignorance however this is clearly not the case because of the examples i have used. You may call it enlighted prejudice however it is not unwarranted. It is predjudice toward a group of people, for a person to join that group of people they have to fulfil certain prerequisites (i.e. nicking your car stereo). A lot of my better arguments are still unanswered. |

IMO i dont think that the almost part is very fair or, with no elaboration on who is excluded, appropriate. Just my opinion though |

Oops, thanks Wardonkey.
Yes Claire you're right. Especially small crimes (even non-crimes like trashing the old ladies flowerbeds and playing football in your garden when you're not there). You know who did it but you can never prove it and they'll only be let off with a caution if you do (then they'll brick your house). They make a difference between a nice neighbourhood and an uncomfortable one.

Is this a Joke?
Red i really can't see why you are worked up about this.
Chav's are not a race, they are not a social-economic grouping, they are the people who like hanging around McDonalds being anti-social, they like terrorising people. They happen to nearly always dress a like. The thread is not saying everyone dressed like them is a chav.
Next you will say calling a prisoner a criminal is not allowed!
