Ahh Carmarthen, where to begin?
From the minute you enter this chav-haven your vision won’t be complete without the view of some Lambert-smoking ratboy and his either heavily pregnant or pram-pushing toothless mess of a girlfriend (or more commonly, fiancee – getting engaged in Carmarthen before 17 is a necessity for the more streetwise of the chav legions).
Five to ten years ago there wasn’t much of a chav problem in Carmarthen but, obvously stirred by rumours that Llanelli was growing a chav army to rival the best of them the in-bred yokels of Park Hall, Belvedere and the rest decided to emerge and stage an uprising. From the gollum-esque locals of the Golden Lion, staring listlessly at you through a haze of cheap weed smoke, to the town park-dwelling, Mad Dog 20/20 drinking teenage alcoholics you can feel that there’s something in the air – the chavs are mobilising.
These days you find them everywhere – hanging out in the doorways of the Greyfriars development, walking the streets of council estates, sitting on a wall sending txts 2 a m8, hunched in the corner of the Jolly Tar…depressingly, the list goes on and on.
Unfortunately it doesn’t stop there, because the chav’s are also mobile. A visit to MFI car park on pretty much any night of the week finds you a new bunch of neanderthals – sitting around in their modded-up/maxed (you choose!) Saxo, Corsa or 206 with (neon-enhanced, of course) boot open and music pumping you just know that these really are the coolest of the cool! First sign of police and off they go – wheelspin after wheelspin until the carpark is empty, leaving behind just the glowing embers of countless fags. Wankers.
To finish, it seems that the council are completely in favour of this chav takeover. They’ve approved the merging of the two main secondary schools (possibly to simulate the merging of all the Carmarthen family trees) in the town. Now, all this is going to achieve is to introduce more current and potential chavs – as if there aren’t enough already they’re now widening the net that allows them to meet and breed!
Carmarthen really is a disgusting little town that probably deserves little more than the direction it’s going in, but voting it into the chavtown top 10 might just focus enough interest that the plague that infests it be opposed. Chavtowns might just save the soul of Carmarthen.
Nothing wrong with having a rumble fella
I have sympathy for the original author: it’s a funny article, meant to be taken light-heartedly. Carmarthen is a bit of a dive. I find the age-old argument that these ppl (sic) have nothing better to do a bit tired.
First, there are some very good schools in the area and what’s more the merged high schools aren’t bad compared to anything in central London, Birmingham, Manchester or any large city – they all have strong academic records. I have friends who went there and are now at good universities or pursuing different careers in other avenues.
Second, the original author’s views on the Golden Lion and Jolly Tar are not reflective of every person who goes in there nor are they indicative of the management or staff of these establishments. He is merely expressing the generally held perception that these are not great venues; surely any neutral observer would conclude the same.
Third, the MFI situation goes on everywhere. In my view young men will always have a fascination with cars and that interest could and should be encouraged: as a country we need mechanics, engineers and the like. Finally, to those in the Carmarthen Journal who were ‘outraged’ by this story, surely you must take it with a pinch of salt. This article appeared on a website designed in jest. No one is saying that all Park Hall or Belvedere residents are scumbags, or chavs. Not for one second.
The point is that these few individuals who take part in petty crime, vandalism, drugs tend to tarnish (for it is a minority) the reputation of the many. The fact remains that in any society there will be haves and have-nots. Yet, I am of the opinion that some hard-work – in the classroom, on the playing field, or wherever – will ultimately lead to self-improvement. This is what we should be teaching the youth.
BIG SHOUT OUT TO THE MFI CREW !!!! WE LUVZ THE FACT THAT YOU HATE US !!
I dont like this site and just for the record there has been various comments made on our STREET about this shit and i dont like it.
But since the comments on our street try to make us look stupid, i will let u know PHPNUKE is very exploitable and no sentinel will not prevent me in having this site removed if i chose to.
Yes you can ban me from this site but that cannot stop me from coming back and doing
what i aim to do.
i will be looking forward to a response…
in response to “walking the streets of council estates” i would just like to say not all council estates are laden with chavs and chavettes. i live on a council estate and it is a nice friendly area. no crime or nothing. so i would just like to express this point as it may be like that for you but for many its entirely different. not all these places are run down filth some still have their dignity. i agree that some estates are like this but please dont label all areas as trash.
