Gnu, ditto almost everything you said. It seems that we all have towns like that near us. I presume you mean open town markets with stalls selling counterfeit clothes, tatty t-shirts, chunky jewellery, dodgy food, dodgy watches and electrical goods. Some of the ones in market towns like Salisbury or Hay on Wye are a little bit better but I know what you mean.

But I don't see a solution to chavs when their inspiration are the biggest chavs of all Katie Price and N-Dubz, their lifestyles are another world to me so I just ignore it now.
