I would very much like to nominate Sittingbourne in Kent as a chav town. One of my earliest memories is that of a train journey with my mother and grandfather. As the train pulled into Sittingbourne, my grandfather read the sign and growled “hmmmmm….Shittingbourne more like! He then began to sing a song which had the first line “Chaversham and Shittingbourne where all the gypsies live”. My mother hushed him before he could finish.
This description turned out to be right on the button. Imagine a flat, bleak wasteland between the M2 motorway and the Isle of Sheppey. Fill this flood-plane with paper mills and metal foundries and you have Sittingbourne. It’s a combination of ribbon development and London overspill taken to ludicrous extremes. If you are unfortunate enough to alight at Sittingbourne Station I suggest you don’t hang around too long. Flocking like flies to a rotting carcass comes the swarm of chav BMX riders, looking to “ponce” a “fag” from anyone foolish enough to stand still for any length of time. Most riders are far too large and old for their tiny kids bikes but I suppose they must have stolen them from children. Refusal or inability to provide a cigarette generally meets with verbal abuse. You may also be treated to the depressingly regular sight of locals chavs (quit often with chavbabs) trying to get onto a train without paying and then becoming violently abusive when stopped. I had wondered why the porter looked more like a bouncer than a ticket collector. Opposite this vital “border-control” is “The Forum” shopping mall. Over the years this centerpiece, or commercial hub, has seen many incarnations but sadly very few decent shops. Within this, is the central Square area or largest indoor chav ash-tray in Britain, as gangs of sports-leisure wear bedecked youths gather to swear at passers-by. This is pretty much the only place to shop in Sittingbourne, so consequently most sensible people visit out of town “shopping villages” and retail parks instead.
On reflection , Sittingbourne residents seem to spend all their downtime in Sittingboune trying to leave it. Unfortunately chavs have the same idea and regularly invade neighbouring towns like Faversham, known locally as Chavvy-Favvy or Chaversham, where they obviously fit right in.
The biggest in-house chav-activity apart from the ubiquitous “McShit hangtime” seems to be setting fire to the aforementioned paper mills. The summer holidays habitually roll by with news report after news report of paper mill infernos. Some mills get torched three or more times a year.
I can’t comment on Shittingbourne’s Chav night life because I have never been foolhardy enough to venture there after dark. So far, indications are not favourable.
I live in Sittingbourne and honestly its not that bad, yer you get thoose people who think they are all it and have the right to do whatever they want but then when karma gets to them they are truly f**ked anyway so it all turns out ok in the end.
How can you say your not a snob? not everybody who lives in or is from Sittingbourne is f**king retarded. It might not be the best place for things to do etc but at least u know where u stand with people there! On the upside….your comment about ‘Ginger’ really made me laugh – i remember him but totally forgot about him – by the way he died a fair few years ago.
u divy gorja people us travller aint no rat or scum u gorja people is the scum mate
gypsys has no mosral they are like a group of cowerd wolf who attack a little infant, they do not even stand for a fght ,they shout and abuse and when u reply they do not take is so surouse they then run like a wolf
I ma 17 and go to Sittingbourne community college for A levels and have been there since I was 11. Sittingbourne is not a bad place. It has its share of scum but where can you honestly say hasn’t? As you said you are unwilling to venture out at night this leads me to think you are a pussy for not seeing what it is like yourself. The town is perfectly safe as long as you aren’t an upper-class twat looking down on everything you see.
I went to school there, I lived in a new house next to Middletune junior school.
I’m no snob, I’ve lived all over the place, but my god it’s an outrageous mutoid backwards arse shithole. World class dump. Gypos, inbred, illiterate incestuous primitive flea people. Ferrets in cages. It’s like the 16th century on really bad LSD in Milton. Who remembers Ginger the drunken barber? f**king hell. Maybe he’s still there.
Really a skidmark on the earth, incredibly backward, socially f**ked to death.
They should nuke it to eliminate the genetics.
You got it in one mate!! I was born in Bell Road…I have Sittingbourne running through my veins! 90% of the people in Sittingbourne are as low life as you can get! There’s no getting away from it, rats breed rats!!…. The town is an armpit…the word Chav is probably too much of a compliment for most fo the towns population… I’m thinking an animal crossed between a Rat, a Flee and a retard probably comes closer!!!!… Murston, Kemsley and Murston are pure filth!! Again 90% of the population is neanderthal at best….I wouldn’t mind so much except for their excessive use of inbreeding which just makes the next generation look even more mutated than the last!
An image of Sittingbourne: It could be any day fo the week…walking down Sittingbourn High St, all you can see is a mirage of base ball caps and fat toothless slags with a minimum of 4 children. Occasionally you’ll see a pretty girl with a pram and you’ll think too yourself “what a waste!” but then just as you walk away, the pretty girl with a pram will open her mouth with a comment like “wat da f**k you lookin aaat???? and then it becomes clear!!… One things becomes clear very quickly, every single individual walking up or down the high st could all be related!!
what the hell mate, some of the thing you have sed about sittingbourne are not very nice. Were do you come from a posh snotty life in the county. Well ill tell you one thing at least we a community that stick together and do take shit from no one watch you toung mate ….
Or else you can always just take sperm enhancer pills
did some invalid write the comments to make sittingbourne sound worse? it’s alright, boring and not alot of work as the government can’t plough money into everywhere you thick c**t so when you look at the community schemes we’ve set up to combat cutbacks in jobs and inlfux of immigrants that’s torn this once nice respectible place to shreds you’d understand that yeah this town has problems but we care very much about it enough so to try and sort them out. so f**k off, I earn a nice slice and I live here because I was born here and proud of it.
