Thread Name: BS: Not 'Chavs' but Poor
Subject: RE: BS: Not 'Chavs' but Poor
I scored 48% on the chav test and can't help thinking that my coming from the Chigwell end of Essex had a lot to do with the answers I gave. Grandmothers were all Nans or Nannas round there. I would like to think that that is where the resemblance to what I would call a chav ends although I do wear joggers for comfort sometimes and regularly shop in Nettos and Aldi (I married a Yorkshireman - can't turn up the chance of a bargain). Marks and Sparks food has always been expensive and Burberry check is even more so! I think it is a class thing but not related to poverty. Its about taste and attitude - not enough of one too much or the other!
