The term is now being applied to anyone who dresses in this fashion, criminal or not!

Oh, hardcore Chavs tuck one trackie leg into a sock.......

We have plenty of \"Chav\'s\" here in the states, although I never knew they were called that. I have heard plenty of other names, none of which would be appropriate for display here....

Why can\'t the young generation just be normal, like I was when I was a teen..you know, a pierced left ear, parachute pants, mullet-hair cut, members only jacket, with a bandana wrapped around the wrist...



lollol

 

[ipaintminis]

LOL We call \'em townies in London too! Although the term \'Pikey\' is beginning to stick too... but i think thats because the Pikeys in my area of town all dress like chavs/townies so are a terrible combination of all these stereotypes in one uber-twat!

 

[tidoco2222]

I thought that Pikey was a term used to label a type of Gypsy

 

[Avicenna]

yup

tends to be used for irish gypsies

but thats what i am saying... they are also townies in north london, where they have been given housing. SO Townie/Pikey has the same meaning. We dont use chav much

Heh....

I\'ve just subtley changed the title of this thread, because people who don\'t know us that well, will probably think we\'re still banging away about GW

 

[Mantra]

On the subject of GW. If you dont like them or disagree with their policies - DONT BUY THEM, after all you all have a choice, its not like GW are the only company who produce good minis.
I am more concerned with \'Forge World\', I have just spent £150 on minis and scenic parts with them, when I received the goods, there wasn\'t a good cast among them. I have spent a lot of money on these goods and I have now got to spend at least double the time i intended to spend on each mini, just cleaning and filling and resculpting them. I seriously think for the amount that forge world charge for a piece of molded resin that the quality could be improved a hell of a lot!

 

[t_haye2]

hey mantra, we weren\'t bashisng gw anymore...go away! lollollol just kidding, but it is quite funny what you\'re saying, since Forgeworld IS GW, so in truth, you\'re bitching about GW...hihihi bitchbashbashbitch....I really have to start my own miniature empire soon....

I\'ll have to try and capture on of our local chavs on camera, might be interesting to see if their are any differences or if they really are taking over the world

Since I work in IT for the support of Education I recently got to see some statistics on the average IQ.
10 years ago it was estimated at between 100-110, now it\'s estimated that it has dropped to 85 - 95, which is terrible.
I\'m not totally sure of the source but it wasn\'t from the Department of Education & Skills. I think it was from a external research company.
So yes the Chav\'s, Townies and T*ssers are taking over according to those figures.

 

[kittykat23uk]

NOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!! It can\'t be true!!!!

 

[finn17]

Technically, impossible...but...

IQ figures are \'norm-based\' so the \'average IQ should always be 100 in any group of the population. If it\'s not, then people are using a culturally inappropriate test, or an old test which uses outdated questions.

If the figures you were looking at are from education, I would bet good money that they are using old tests which bear no relevance to what is currently being taught in schools. I have many such tests which ask questions about feet and inches, countries which no longer exist etc.
