A town famous for its Pork Pies, Stilton cheese and inbreeding. The common chav is usually found here in great abundance.
As a rule the younger chavs seem to congregate around the skateboard ramp in the park or on the benches outside WHsmith in the market place, usually passing around a can of wifebeater(stella) that one has just nicked of his his old man. Another place the young scamps hang out is the Esso garage next door to their main stronghold, a housing estate dubbed Colditz by all non chav locals. They wait outside this garage accosting innocent passers by and attempting to get people to go in and buy fags for them.
Once they get a little older however its a different story. Usually one of them somehow manages to pass his test and obtains a car (the trend around here at the moment is for saxos, corsas and battered old cavaliers). Once one has a car, him and his “homies” finally get to graduate to one of two places, either the bus park (which is next to the main Leicester rd and gives them the opportunity to check fellow chavs rides as they “roll” past) or the local Mcdonalds carpark where they get to check all the local “stunnas” and show off by playing some “phat beats well loud” (obviously cos it makes them look well-ard and cool in front of the birds).
Although a few chavs remain at the boyracer stage until well into their 20s (purely so they can keep hold of their 14 year old girlfriends), the majority start to head into town of an evening once they hit about 19-20.
The top watering holes in town from a chavs point of view are the white lion and the kings head pubs, and although both of these are fine establishments, the chavvy clientele puts a lot of normal people off. Once closing time arrives its time for most chavs-about-town to make tracks to THE holy grail of total chavness. In fact this place is so chav, even the chavs call it! The place im on about is Tubes nitespot, three floors of out and out chav mayhem! fantastic!(not)
Melton is also home to what is apparently “Britains biggest free show”, Melton Day (or piss up day as the chavs call it). Never come to melton on melton day folks, cos not only do you have the local chavs drinking on the streets, robbing people, pissing in shop doorways and fighting, but you also get all the Leicester, Loughborough and Nottingham chavs in the town too! This makes for a very dangerous time in town especially if your a goth or its after 6pm.
So theres a quick overview of Melton Chavness, you have been warned people!
I moved to Melton a couple of years ago, I stayed for around a year before I left, the moral structure of this town is severely lacking, violence, drugs, teenage pregnancy.. Melton is really not the postcard perfect pork-pie village.
If you live in Melton, move.
If you are going to move to Melton, don’t.
You all take the piss outta colditz like its hell I stay there quite often n have a good time its all you old or posh basterds that either don’t know how to have a good time or have forgot how to, sort your trash holes out, your probably all Leicester scum anyway
i have lived in melton all of my life and everything said here is true
melton is amazeballs it is awsome the chavs make it unique love it
this is nothing like melton, sure there is a few chavs and piss heads, but its not that bad, ive lived here my whole life, and i think its a great place, its no where near as bad as this post, and melton day was infact yesterday, and it was good, everyone had a good time and i never saw one ‘chav’ the whole day. so stop hating on this town and leave it to carry on being a nice place to live, end of story!
u know what Mate i have lived in melton for 50 years and it just gets worse. there is chavs everywhere and all the oap’s on market day try to run you over. everythings closing down aswell.
Not like Melton at all? I would say this is word for word, a perfect representation of the place. I lived in Asfordby for years, regularly going into Melton and I can’t say I’ve ever been to a more depressing,twat-infested place in all my life. It is with pleasure that I can say I have moved away.
joe, your a dickhead, shut up
I believe Melton Mowbray is one of the best towns in Britain, I moved here from Syston in 1977 married a Meltonian and had five children and now on my seventh grandchild. All of whom are well balanced and polite people who think a lot of their town. The only thing I miss is Sarson school which was an excelent school, Long field doesn’t even compare!
“As a rule the younger chavs seem to congregate around the skateboard ramp in the park”
this really does show that you are looking at melton from a shallow point of view.
I was involved in the building and fund raising of the skatepark “chav hangout” and if you ever came down to visit you may realise that the “chavs” are no more than just normal kids. familys are now often seen down there. if anything it has reduced the number of chavs in melton.
idiot
I like this post! I was born and raise in Melton Mowbray and laughed at the first article/post Melton is a dive due to the divey people! I had a very pleasant experience growing up in the town as a child the town is safe and clean and has nice areas it isnt until you hit teenage years you realise what is wrong with the town and its the other teenagers and their sibling who think its okay to go around terrorising people just because they are bored living on colditz and think what better to do with their time than steal others partners, get pregnant with numerous baby daddys and sponge off the government. (I do know a few girls who got pregnant at a young age who are still with their baby’s father and are doing a brilliant job as a mum and are earning their own money!) If you see this side of life yea its disgusting and ive had a lucky escape from associating too much with the rifraf however my late childhood/early adulthood was affected by complete utter heart break due to some scum who was as describe above bored and thought it was okay to be a tramp and steal my boyfriend, i know he is as much to blame but he was young and taken in by someone a few years older and as someone put on an earlier post ‘easy gash’ Thankfully i have taken myself off to university and has move aspirations than working in Morrisons!
However that is the trampy side which every town has. Melton has loads of after school activities and hobbies for children to take part in and life long friends, opportunities for children to aspire to be something different Trevonne Stage School the dance school has seen people go on to bigger and better things. All in all get mixed up in the wrong people and Melton can be the scummiest place on earth as can anywhere. keep out of trouble and enjoy what the town has to offer and feel privileged to come from there!!!
all comments are true! It really is a hole! I know the film crew who filmed the pork pie contest ‘monster munchies’ and they still laugh and joke now! Scrubby little town.
BAD MAN TOWN!! BAREEEEEEEEEE SQUADDYS, ESPECIALLY ON A TUESDAY NIGHT!!! FANCY A FUK??? HEAD TO TUBES, EASY GASH, NO CASH!!!! THE BIGGEST TREND IN TOWN, IS BABIES!!! IF YOU HAVE A PRAM, YOUR IN THE GANG!!!! I’M CURRENTLY ONLY ON MY 1ST CHILD, WITH AMBITION FOR MY 2ND IN THE VERY NEAR FUTURE!! BABY FATHER???? WHO CARES, INSERT THE SPERM, THEN HEAD FOR THE ROAD BOYSSSSS, BECAUSE ONCE WE HAVE THE HOUSE, WE’RE ON TO NEXT, ON, ON, NEXT ONE!!! PEACE OUT
To be completely honest,, you make it sound like a massive s**t hole. I’ve lived hear my hole life and im not a chav but i’ve never had any trouble and i enjoy living in melton.
As a person born and bred in Birmingham and now living in Melton Mowbray, I think the comments on here are unfair and unjust. Melton is a lovely town and I don’t recognise the place described on these posts. In the three years I had lived in Melton the only people I have seen causing any real bother aren’t British born. Every town has chavs, it’s just the way of the UK. However, they are no worse in Melton than they are in, say, Oxford and to suggest so is wrong. I have attended the Melton Show and have yet to see any trouble as described on the main post here. I would say to anyone who thinks Melton is a bad place to raise children that you need to get of Melton and take a look at Birmingham, Peterborough, Manchester, Nottingham, Leicester, London, Leeds to name but a few. That lovely safe idyllic place you think exists where you can raise your children without any contact with chavs does not exist. Even in the most chocolate picture box town in Britain you are going to find chavs and I for one would put up with a few harmless enough chavs than what I had to put up with on a daily basis when I lived in Birmingham. The sad fact of life is that the green and pleasant land that was once England no longer exists but I’d rather be in Melton than in Birmingham
The problem is in this town, where I was born and raised is that there are few opportunities, the graduates find work elsewhere, resulting in the remaining young people being left behind. The disgusting element breed, and are filling the town with the most awful people.
I would not in a million years raise my children in Melton, due to the fact that they would have to go to school with the children of those awful girls I went to school with.
The minority disgraceful shameless scum dominant this town, ruining it for the rest of us.
The scum are all related to each other! The rest of us are nice people.
I hope the Tories cut the benefits to stop this nation on the whole being taken over by the most god awful disgraceful people!
