Unfortuately, I’m nominating my own town.
It’s by far not the worst infected place by the sub culture that is chav-ism, but I feel I have to add my bit here.
Estates such as Thornhill, Lordshill, Totton, Northam, Shirley and Millbrook should all have a mention as they are all important to my story.
Basically, there is no place in the UK that is tinged with Chavs. Things have got so bad in some places that they have employed security guards outside newsagents (One Stop) and small supermarkets (Somerfield, Co-Op etc). What on earth is the UK coming to? Society appears to be capitualting!
I awake more or less every morning from my suburb home for a bus journey that takes around 40 minutes into the centre of town to my workplace.
Just one day can mean several accounts with Chavs and chav activity.
On the bus, you can see (from a safe distance) the smashed bus stops, glass everywhere, and bins burnt completely by last nights congregation of lowlifes and their activities – and guess who’s paying for their mess? Yep, the good people, the taxpayers.
Anyway, about 2 years ago – we had enough – we started taking things into our own hands and formed a mini rebellion against these skanks.
One form of action was to circulate pikey areas such as those above and pelt eggs (bought in large quantities) at them, and let me tell you, there is nothing better than seeing a group of chavs s**tting themselves as several eggs pummel their very positions – and, lets face it, minimal chance of collateral damage when you’ve got so many targets to choose from!
But anyway, where isn’t their a town not suffering with scourge of these horrid beings? Having read most accounts on this site so far, its absolutely startling the amount of similarities there are with their dress senses, postures and interests.
They all seem to hang around outisde Newsagents at night – like flies around s**t, for some reason, causing minor disturbances and frightening good natured people in large numbers.
Their dress sense – why the f**k would anyone think they look smart in that clobber? The only time I wear sports gear is when I’m bumming around the house or playing sports – but that seems to be their ‘going out attire’.
McDonalds – what is it with that place that attracts them? Maybe its low class food for low class people, I don’t know, but to venture into one you’d think you’d just walked into a prison sponsored by JJB sports. Unruly, uncouth little irks as young as ten spurting foul mouthed tirades at their friends and other customers before they are either thrown out or get bored and decide to go vandalise yet another bus stop or something.
Can someone tell me where this blatant disregard for normal social interaction comes from?
During the daytime, you can find alot of the younger chavs residing in the Sega Arcade in the Bargate Shopping Centre. This is where they will witter away the last of Mummies/Daddies benefits on mind numbing arcade games and, if the evade the security guard, a flutter on some of the gambling machines, before, most probably, returning to/outside McDonald’s again for the remainder of the day.
And when they are old enough to get into the many drinking hotspots in the town, they tend to descend on the same places – thankfully not infecting the decent nightspots for the decent people. However, if you’re a ‘pint and a fight’ man, I suggest you try McClusky’s or Leisure World for the chav club scene or one of the many highstreet bars – your bound to find a few chavs round that way, more than likely being thrown out by the bouncers or being carted off by the Police after yet another unprovoked attack on decent citizens.
And, if you want to definitely be sure of seeing a pikey contingent, another good bet is to come along to the many fair’s the city holds – no chav would miss a fair that gives them the opportunity to win fake buberry by hooking ducks!
The woman – ohhh dear. Immedietely, the term ‘Traceeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeey!’ comes to mind. They are insistent on wearing fake gold jewellery, ridiculously hooped earrings and sports leggings, sometimes baggy jumpers to disguise the fact they’ve been knocked up by Scott/Tyrone/Lee/Ricky/Can’t remember.
But it’s the guys that crack me up the most – don’t they know that ‘normal’ people laugh at them? I mean, for starters, pick any chav group in the UK and you won’t be able to tell the difference between them and Blazin’ Squad.
It pains me to say it aswell, and, I don’t like calling people ugly but, f**k me, they are so ugly aswell. Who or what the f**k breeds these gruesome monstrosities? Are they cross breeds? In Breds? Goofy, spotty, snarling mini ogres dressed like AllSports mannequins. And what’s with the white socks tucked into the tracksuit bottoms?
Their existence is a double edged sword for me – for starters, if they didn’t exist, I’m sure I’d have alot more money for myself not having to pay for their families, Argo’s runs and vandalism – on the other hand, I’d have nothing to laugh at.
Foul Mouthed, Ugly, non contributing arseholes – most unredeemable to put back into a normal social circle, no matter how good a ‘life coach’ you could employ. Can we have a cull now, please?
S.K
Pm me to join the Universal Anti-Chav Alliance! (UACA)
I’m curious. What is the difference between chavs with their unsociable behaviour and the others who hurl eggs at them?
It seems to me absolutely nothing. By the way, if you are worried about your daughter’s education I suggest you stop using that dreadful Americanism ‘gotten’.
I had the misfortune of living in Southampton for 5 years. It was awful. What made it especially bad I’m afraid was the majority of the local population: unfriendly, selfish. I made one or two good friends and feel deperately sad that the majority of the town’s population blights the good characters that live there. I’m so happy to have left.
I live in bitterne park in southampton, it’s not well known but is surrounded by st dennys, townhill and millbrook. I have had people attempt to mug me 3 times in a year when I was just walking through, I say attempt because I grew up there and know the people that tried to mug me. I just told them to jog on (they were dressed for it).
In my school it has gotten so bad that even the teachers don’t understand half of what the students are saying and if you look at statistics then you will see that southampton has a far higher crime rate than national average as well as having the worst behaved secondary schools in england and also the highest teenage pregnancy rate.
Just reading the comments from people defending these areas had me in fits of laughter, I had to find the Chav to English translator on Google to make sense of what was written – the irony was almost too much for me to handle.
I wonder if these idiotic people realize that they are just a laughing stock to anyone who has more than 1 brain cell. This year for Halloween, my friends and I donned our Burberry dresses/tracksuits, gold chains, white socks and trainers and went out as a party of “losers” or more commonly known “Chavs”.
hey guys chavs dont like to be called that anymore they prefer: G, gangsta, tug, rude boi and other stupid names. chavs in southampton are pathetic to the fullest extent. there is one person and im sure many more that are in the early/mid 20′s that still go around and beat people up. i used to live in Bassett for about 9 years and it was constantly filled with chavs that thought they were hard and bullied people who actually wanted to get somewhere in life. . . probably jealous. i was jumped for no reason and got a couple of breaks but it didnt even hurt. they are complete twats that think that if they f**k with the world it wont f**k them back. my advise is do not move to bassett especially if you have young children because they will end up being a wigga that sounds like they are black and act like they are black. they will steal from there own family there friends and all this from the age of 7. i knew a kid of about 5 years old who’s mum let him smoke :O so yeah if you want your children to grow up with a life ambition of being a gangsta drug dealer then please move to bassett but otherwise stay away.
I’m feeling more than a bit worried after reading your comment. I work in southampton city centre, so will be moving to thornhill to be closer to work. My partner visited the area after dark an saw a group of about 30 lads wearing hoods and scarvs, hanging about near the flats we’re going to move to. I have a 17 yr old daughter and feel really worry about her travelling to and from work and having to walk through these places. Do the local kids often start on or pick fights with people if they mind their own business?
Southampton isnt a bad place and who eever saying that it is……. Get a live and stop talking about crap. If you acctually new what southampton was like then you would no there are bad places like there are everywhere but there are good places too. And some people call me a chav, like my dad has a couple of times but i dont go round doing the stuff your saying, neither do SOME of the people i no that are chavs so dont asume all chavs are like that! (: :L xx
Southampton is chavy in places, and i have grown up on a estaite in sholing and you have good and bad places round there. Southampton isnt that bad so whoever saying it is….. Blimin shutup coz it aint true!!!! You get bad places everywhere :L
I mean i am a chavette my boyfriend is a chav, lol xxx
I have lived in southampton all my live n i ma from southampton too :L But i live on a estate in shirly and i juess me and my friends are all chavs, so who ever is making comments about chavs…….. f**king shut your s**t hole and gegt i life!!! And dont be scared of chavs coz they will just f**kin scare you even more!!!
Well, I have lived in some s**t holes in my time. I now live year Yeovil so I would say that I am well qualified to comment on s**t hole towns. Unfortunatley I had to live in Southampton for 4 years which was long enough for me to conclude that it is the worse place I have ever lived in in terms of the local people and the depressing atmosphere of the whole city. Be warned, if you stay in that place long enough, you will either want to slit your wrists to end it all or it will drive you to stab someone…. probably followed by slitting your wrists.

I agree wid ya, ima chav. So is ma hole f**kin family but i tink we are nomal. I looked up da chaviest names da ufa day on google n ma first nme n ma lst name r on der but dat dunt mean ima bad person. Me 2 ave lived in southampton all ma live and i ave moved house ma fair share of times n i ave ran away frm home n all da houses i ave lived in ave been council houses. so evry thin this bunch of idots r sayin sort of affends me but i juess dey wunt give a s**t bout it coz dey only cre bout dem selfs.
The best thing to do with chavs is just ignore them, it’s fairly easy to do, just don’t visit the s**thole areas, the estates, McDonalds etc, and they never become a problem.
You have to remember that these chavs lead the poorest lives, most of them suffer from depression, that’s why they put up such a “hard man act” to mask their unhappiness. The fact is they’re jobless, poorly educated, have very little money, the lads can’t afford to take their girlfriends out to nice places, they can’t afford nice things, nice clothes, nice food, they don’t wash, brush their teeth regularly, they don’t have any sort of routine, they often come from broken homes where their parents are the most revolting people, they lead absolute s**t lives.
So if you’re a student, or you have a nice car, or a job, they will hate you, they will resent you, they envy you, they wish they were you and that’s what we should all remember.
Don’t let them bring you down to their level, that’s exactly what they want, it would be so easy just to brick a little chav girl and her baby in the face, it would feel so great, but you’d just be lowering yourself.
Just reading your comment and feel that you have no understanding of life in anyway. You my friend are most likely some jumped up little over educated geek who couldn’t fight his way out of a paper bag!
Your insults are completly un justified. Do you no what its like at the poorer scale of society?? Have you ever been through hard times?? I am from a broken home and raised in a council house thankyou very much..and it has not effected me, I have a job, education and “chav” mates!! Who work and are loyal to the bone.
Yes there are the bad apples but you can’t tar everyone with the same brush, I can get on with anyone from any background as I was taught to treat people the way you want to be treated yourself.
Get some karate lessons.
Chaaaaaaav! However you say that you have a job, education… therefore not a chav, and therefore the comment that agitated you does not refer to you! So what’s you problem?
)
Nope, I’ve lived in a hell of a lot of s**t holes, including London and Preston, the only place I’ve ever been kicked unconscious, or found people who’ve been kicked unconscious, or visited mates in hospital because they were beaten up for no reason, was Southampton.
The wasters on the flowers estate are not just anti student, they’re anti f*cking everyone. St Marys was a total cesspool last time I looked.
Clearly the victorians were right because WANKARR must be so blind that he can’t actually read what he’s replying to.
Wow, you saw something on the net and had to respond aggressively to it, got broadband on benefits did you?
SCRUFFY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
fookin loved your comment. becuase ur an idiot!!!!!
[quote]:Anyone who doesn’t think that chavs are a serious problem needs to spend some time in Southampton, it’s a warzone.
And when I say warzone, I mean warzone. Where else do you pack your bag and then walk out the door wondering if you’re going to come home with more scars and bruises?
ROFL. i have spent 15 years in this town, at the age that an individual is most likley to be stabbed, bullied, abused wtc according to some government thing.
do you see me crying over it like you? you people need to stop crying into your pillows wondering which underage person is going to shout a drunken slur at you and then fall over.
CHAVS ARE NOT SCARY. THEY ARE FUNNY.
southampton is NOT a bad place to live if you know how to live in it. dont be so quick to receive one,two or maybe three insults when new to the town and go……”its f**kin s**t”.
while i found this post funny i also found it very stereotypical. not all chavs are pricks. alot are but the chav prosecuters are usually ones opposite to the pikey cliche, such as gothic and emo. i for one find that the majority or emos and goths are attention seeking. if a chav does a football hooligan dance in front of you, chances are our s**t team have scored and they are having an orgasm. in which case just say somthing like ” yeah ok mate” or walk away.
all this has come from a 15 year old boy who lives on the edge of thornhill going into weston. every day i travel from thornhill/weston to millbrook/shirley area , and back. if u know how to live in southampton its not bad.
so suk ya mum mush.
That is soo right!! most people would acctually call me a chav and i hang around with chavs and i am very loud (: not shy at all lol. Just everyone that is sat hear saying a load of crap about southampton….. Get a live, besides sitting on the computer talking about rubbish!!
I live a good hour away from Southampton (thank god), but your account is spot on. I have to visit Totton (or should that be Rotton) two mornings a week to do with my work. What a dump!! Full of Chavs and f**king ugly ones at that, never seen so many out of work scrawny looking youths in pissed stained dirty shellsuits, some with their fat ugly spotty chavettes and occasionally with what I can only describe as some old dirty hag with rotten teeth (who I assume is their mum) christ what an existence. Totton f**king awful place!!
Ever noticed that everone in Totton seems to have a limp?
I have the unfortunate burden of living near St Marys Road. The place is a crawling mess of muslim women walking in mobile tents, tramps lying on roadsides and the obligatory illegal immigrants from Poland (theres 2 polish shops within 5 meters of each other).
I highly recommend speedily walking down this road as there is a high probability you will get stabbed/mugged/abused.
I had the pleasurable experience a few nights ago of seeing someones head rammed into a window shutter at full speed – while passers by just carried on with their business. After all, this is a daily occurance.
Then of course, there’s the chavs. They clearly have a very, very small IQ – as they seem to have a blatent disgregard for the English language and everyone around them. All of this despite the fact that they are the scum of the Earth, and would look best burning in a fire.
I will take pleasure on pissing on a chav at the next available opportunity.
The person who wrote this made me laugh, something i forgot how to do since moving here from London. Yes, I know, silly. I miss london so much. Puerto Banus you say… Marbella? what a s**t hole
