I am one of the few who had never seen a 'chav' before moving to the big smoke. Now we're best friends!... Despite having my wheels/bike stolen x2, purse stolen x1, being mugged x1 and attacked x1 I still hadn't formed a true opinion of 'chavs' until Sunday...
When I saw the 'chavs' I remembered the day I set off on my first date with Jack, walking through Beirut, passing the usual group of youths (or 'chavs'), being crowded, touched, taunted. These sorts probably thought they were picking on a unassuming child but must have been shocked by the wrath of the red head and thankfully dissipated... (Chavs don't stop me, but stiletto heels might...)
The same group still hang around. I'm convinced it was them who stole my bike. They have been spotted with bolt cutters in a plastic bag!... On Sunday I actually had a CONVERSATION with the 'chavs'. The leader was in crutches. Not sure how it started but it ended "what's a lovely girl like you doing in this horrible place? You're lovely!!!" Me - "aww, thank you, I had my bike stolen recently, it did my head in". Chavs - "Aw babe..." etc etc "Well keep an eye out for you".
Anyway, RESULTS! My bike has been outside now for a few nights and it's still happy... I also get waves and smiles from the chavs! Not sure if it's wise to risk it though?...
One problem I do have is, if they don't have the right image, they aren't a 'chav' - we need another name... (apart from "that dick") ... When people wear track suits and gym shoes in Belfast and they are NOT considered to be doing acceptable forms of 'exercise' they are called 'Steeks' or 'Spides' (or Sinn Feiners). The difference is however that Steeks or Spides are humourous in a different way than Chavs - they can be good craic.
So what's the answer to the 'Chav' situation in London?... 'Hug a Hoodie'?.... Send them to ME for sorting out?...
No! Throw them all away in jail!!! and that's what they get for stealing my bike!!!
I came across a certain Chav society in Facebook... Anti Chav Association (ACA) - clean the streets kill a chav (see below)
Ever had the misfortune of coming into close contact with a chav?
Annoyed with seeing chavs adorned with baseball caps, hoodies and bad language spoiling our streets?
Had something nicked? (Then it was probably a chav)
Do you wake up each morning thankful that your not a chav?
Then this group is for you.
Put a stop to vandalism, bad language, abuse, elder beating, stealing and many, many more!
Chavs need not apply.
