Ah, I have noticed that an esteemed person has already noted Workington for its chavtasticness. Well, I think that it is my duty to the world to add to this. Simply Workington is the chav arm-pit of Cumbria. Everyone knows that, they all congregate in their chav-mobiles ever weekend by the bowling alley which is situated simply in an industrial park. The bowling alley itself is quite known for attracting chavs; hence most avoid it, and not without good reason either. At some random point last month as a celebration of a friend’s birthday we went there, to start with we were alone, but eventually chavs congregated in and outside, making us giddy to the bone that we were given this opportunity to socialise with them. Or so we though, the head chav (the one behind the counter working with the lovely shoes) was found to be flirting with a friend. He thought he was being entertaining when he spent the best part of an hour staring at her and doing what looked like hard work….drawing a diagram of how to bowl…how we laughed (at him).
We left the bowling alley laughing quite hard, ah, but we were horror struck when we saw “cruise West Cumbria” (chav car crew, basically) were having a “mini-meet” there. They must have been in a state of shock themselves when they realised that we weren’t wearing any sports clothes…very shocked indeed. But, we pitied them and only laughed for a while…they shouted something at us, I’m not sure what it was but it was probably something along the lines of, “What you looking at eeyyyy?”. Yes, in Workington if you look up from the pavement to meet a chav’s eyes you better be prepared to run from their big cousin who will be getting out of jail for shop lifting soon. So bare that in mind if you ever get the irresistible urge to visit the chav central town known as Workington.
After eating in an establishment which wasn’t McDonalds (shock, shock) we then went to wait outside until we were picked up, which was too long for comfort. This chav car was driving past and back again and asked us if we wanted “a lift eeey”…the answer was simply no. Again, a chav was flirting with the same unfortunate friend…we are worried for her as well. After they realised we were laughing at them not with, they sped away in the direction of McDonalds (which is really close) and we saw no more of them.
Workington town centre is not much better, chavs and all. The have about 3 pound shops, chavs can be seen there but mainly they can be seen outside the JJB sports shop which is conveniently next to Argos.
Remember that Workington is a dangerous place, chavs have been known to spit at the occasional passer-by, if this happens I strongly recommend Cif Disinfectant, it may just save your soul.
am not avin dis shit tork abar ma ome town like. yaz can all gar and f**k ya sells like. do yaz think we marras giv yan f**k abowt wat yaz jameatin fuckas think like. this is our yam so f**k rite off like.
Oh and by the way, Argos and JJB are not next to each other.
P.s. Did you know that Workington used to be the Worlds leading Steel makers? Did you know that Thatcher decided to sell it off at its Peak? (Tory cunts) Did you know that the only way most of these harmless chavs will get decent paid jobs is if they get into Sellafield? Do you know how many people apply to get a job at Sellafield each year?
Do you realise that if the goons in charge of the council had ploughed that town regeneration money into getting our docks instead of the pretty new shopping centre then we would have a working docks and all the lovely trade and jobs that docks bring instead of a pretty half boarded up town centre.
Anyway Workington, let’s get back to what we do best. Fester in our own government forced poverty.
an dat slag dat woz shaggin dat kid is from scaryport nut wukinton
Yeah have to agree, I moved down from Scotland a few years ago and thought my town up there was quite “chavvish” (although we call them ‘neds’ up there) but Workington takes the biscuit. Done a lot of work round about an area called “Salterbeck” that should basically be nuked into the ground for being such a scumbag hell-hole. Drug-dealers/takers every 2nd house, gangs of muppets trying to intimidate every passer by and just ignorant and unpleasant people.
Not going to tar everyone with the same brush as there are some really nice people that have made me feel very welcome (i’m down here on my own for my son) but there are much more who do the very opposite and aren’t shy in telling you that “do don’t mess wif the wukintun lads eyy”.
Not the type of place to go on a night out and have a piss with your back turned either, the town centre on a night out is absolutely abysmal and whilst there is a decent amount of pubs, the arseholes inside it make you not want to go.
The town centre looks quite nice having been done up though, some nice wee shops etc but on the whole i’d have to agree that Workington really is a chav dive. Avoid.
Workington is a crap place. A crap place with a high, inbred chav population. Case closed. Avoid.
I actually couldn’t believe when my friend told me Workington was on this site! Newsflash for you; not everyone in Workington is a chav! Sure there’s a few but isn’t there chavs everywhere? Yeah, a couple of bad things have happened here but if you look at places like London or Manchester which are absolute crime-hubs, it’s nothing.
And as to your article, JJB and Argos are not next to each other. There is one pound shop- which is Poundland and they’re everywhere, like a fekking virus. Yes, people from Workingron do say ‘eyy’ sometimes, but it’s just part of our slang. Everywhere has its own slang so don’t you dare say we’re all chavs for having a regional dialect! There’s actually alot of nice people here and it’s not fair that you describe us all as chavs when we aren’t. Where the f**k are you from? Down south probably, judging by how much of a stuck up c**t you are.
I don’t even know you but after reading your article, I hate you and sincerely hope that you die in a ditch.
w**ker.

- yes, you sure sound like a nice and friendly bunch. Just what was the writer calling this place thinking!

What?!
Anyone translate chavish into English?
Jesus christ this paints a bad picture of Cumbria, sadly everything bad that has been said is true. Workington is full of chavs that sadly seep through into neighbouring towns that strive to keep a good reputation. Every county has a shit hole that should be surrounded by 24 hour guards and some form of impenetrable wall, Cumbria has Workington. We aren’t proud of it but it’s there and has been for some while, sadly with all the inbreeding, it will be there for a while longer. Just role with the punch like the rest of us.
Ok, firstly let’s clear a few things up. I’m from Workington. I am not a ‘Chav’, nor am I in bred and I am quite obviously not a pretentious twat like some of you other individuals who has helpfully painted (or tainted?) a very wrong picture of a very old Industrial town.
Do you not think it is perhaps a bit of a sweeping statement to declare that ‘everyone’ in Workington is a ‘chav’?? Has it occurred to you that there will be many people in this town that are both better educated and of higher financial and social status than yourself? You are correct in thinking that there are some individuals within the town that probably fall under your stereotypical branding of a ‘chav’, but my friend if you are so ‘worldly’ and well travelled then surely you have seen far worse (along with Crime rates??) In Britain’s major towns and cities. To describe Workington as ‘the armpit of Cumbrian’ is also amusing? Have you visited Barrow?? Just because this small town has not yet surrended itself to being nothing more than a fake tourist town, that instead sells off all of its true Cumbrian heritage to help satisfy the Souths insatiable hunger for being a quaint village situated in the middle of nowhere surrounded by nothing but sheep. Workington has many favourable attributes, a long history and is quite obviously not yet home to a true bunch of in bred, pretentious, wannabe upper class toffs.
What you have provided is a snap shot of a very small area of our town, you have dismissed all of the historical sites, places of outstanding natural beauty, demonstrations of architecture and the hard working nature of the town. With a population of approx 25,000 you’d be lucky if 5% of that population are ‘Chavs’. Oh and as already pointed out, Argos and JJB are not even on the same street, let alone next to each other. May I suggest you and your pretentious-wanna-be friends get a life? I mean seriously ‘bowling for a birthday’ f**k me, if my friends took me bowling for my birthday I can’t see us being friends much longer!!!
“To describe Workington as ‘the armpit of Cumbrian’ is also amusing?”
I see where you’re coming from – if we agree to make Barrow the anus of Cumbria then perhaps Workington could be a dried up piece of crap decorating the arse-crack. A better analogy I’m sure you’ll agree
I know I’m late on the comment, but when the f**k has JJB ever been next to Argos?
Oh my good god! First of all, the chavs among us aren’t doing themselves any favours by spelling incorrectly, swearing alot and using incorrect grammar. Second of all, Workington IS rubbish!
Seriously, go get yourselves a life and perhaps even a dictionary. You know, that big book with all the words in, with the definitions (meanings) within it’s pages.
Maryport’s chavvy, I should know, I live there. Workington is also chavvy, I know, because I lived there, and Whitehaven’s just a bit boring. ( I also lived there.)
i live in workington, and id rather live somewhere else but its my home town… there are mass load of chavs and i hate them all! all they do is drink and leave a mess everywhere, whats with the pants tucked into socks? lol… just think when your 40 and you see your pic you will be so embarrast! my 2 cousins are chav and i think they are stupid… its just a faz so grow up and out of it!!!!

i think this is a little harsh, yes workington is a horrible place, with very few redeeming features, infact none, but thats not the point. if you believe workington is the worst town in the country then you dont know how lucky you are, i live in keswick and so would never consider spending very much time in workington but i am at uni in loughborough which whilst being similar sized to workington and that other lovely town whitehaven has a massive increase in the number of chavs and the problems some of these cause. but then if you head of to leicester this really is a different ball game, you spend a day there and you will be crying for a return to workington.
OMG ive been to workington ONCE and ONCE only and i dont intend to go back to that horrible place.
JESUS i mean come on its dirty disgusting and vile. Chavs yes they may be in plenty and im sure that there are plenty of decent people that live there to.
I used to live near wigton and thats just as bad, as is carlisle and maryport.
I think the only decent part of cumbria is the spiggin lake district.
So chavs go there learn sum manners, get off the dole, get a decent job and look at the frikkin scenery u tit mongers
oi ya w**ker, how dare ya take the piss out of workinton ya fukin prik, fair enuff ders a few smellin little diks but apart from them workinton is spot on, so watch ya mouth and fuk off back down south cokhed!
y fink workington is a shit hole well just fink ya head is 2 far up y own ars mate. n wat da f**k Cif Disinfectant a fink u need it to wash ya mouth out coz ov all dat shit y talkin. so f**k off bk t y stuck up land!!! SNOB!!!
where exacly are u from im guessing its sumwhere down south since you are such a stuck up fucker i think u need to have some respect for us northern people yeah there are a few bastards in workington but that isnt what most of us are like if u didnt want abuse shouted at you mabie you shouldnt of laughed at the bastards looking at that posting a doubt it that u visited maryport which is the next town north of us. mabie you should and them mabie you will see how bad places get and u will find out that workington is nothing compared to maryport. oh and btw argos is no where near jjb so f**k off.
I had never had the plesaure of hearing of Workington before this morning, even though I have friends and relatives who live in Carlisle.
However today I have just read your article and something even more scarry.. The story of a 17 year old chav (you can tell this from the attached picture) who has just been caught sleeping with his 40+ year old mother
Thats right his own mother… not even a pals mother (which would be pretty bad) but his own mother!!!!!
God, I am so glad that I have nothing to do with this sort of town.
You can keep it
