what in the days of the Bay City Rollers???

Chavs around here are sooooooooo RUDE! no doubt that is why they have this name... I don't understand how the word Chav came to be used - anyone got a clue???

I've heard a number of explanations but one up in the North East which has a ring of truth is that they have used the term charva for a long time.
A charva being a young criminal, a further expression used up here is to "Charv" (or steal) a car.

what gets me is the way chavs won't speak to goths and nobody speaks to mods. Damn these teenagers are strange

I don't remember anything like it when we were teens - I remember seeing mods and rockers on tv films - but did they really go around like that - they were American films - so perhaps it was an American thing... Lovely day here after rain yesterday we have sun!

Mods were a very British phenomenon, Jude.

Chav stands for council house smething and it comes from Chatham in Kent

Quite correct, Blondie.

Their standard uniform of recognition is to wear a Burberry patterned baseball cap.

Up here they say you are not a true chav unless you wear burberry knickers or burberry boxers! Like I said, teenagers are wierd. So much easier when it was just Mods and Rockers

If my neighbours were on the box definately - I agree they are a bit wooden these days- but it's the only soap I watch (please note WATCH not WASH!) :shock: :lol: :lol:
