Having read the article on Ilfracombe, South Molton and Minehead I found it hard to belive that Barnstaple had no listing of its own. A couple of mentions in other stories but no rant of its own! This I had to change…
Now to set the scene, Barnstaple is a shit hole. There is f**k all to do in this place apart from get drunk, which the chavs do very well. They are found everywhere so the nickname ‘Rat Boys’ fits very well. Found fighting in Sherrys (along with everyone else), the Litten Tree (performing acts on their sisters), The Three Tuns (close to their sports shops), Weatherspoons (cheap) and they have even invaded the Cork and Bottle. A place to go for a laugh/assult is the bus station at the time of the last bus. Loads of them group together trying desperately to get home whilst half cut on cider vinegar. You will be asked for a fag/drink/fight if you have the pleasure of getting on the same bus as them, and then have to listen to them swearing, shouting and sometimes rutting on the back seats of the bus.
What makes me laugh is the image of them trying to act ‘hard’. Although I have yet to see a chav over 9 stone it doesn’t seem to affect their abilty to start a fight with anything in front of them. This includes inanimate objects like lamp posts, doors, cars and their own reflections.
One question I have trouble understanding is why do they want to be a chav? Do they really have nothing else to live for apart from day time TV, Lidl’s food, cheap fags, spitting, drinking, SPITTING!, swearing and did I mention f**king SPITTING EVERYWHERE? What is it with spitting? I’m convinced it’s liquified brain that is slowly seeping out of their skulls as the brain breaks down due to lack of use.
For some reason the female chavs, chavettes or rat girls depending on your preference, seem to be the worst. More foul mouthed than their male brothers (more often than not also the father of their brood) they hang around off licences, like SPAR, shouting at people. Somehow the presence of a chap fag and bottle of battery acid cider gives them the ability to be a complete f**king shit. No in fact that’s too good for them, the thing I’m looking for to describe them has yet to be put into words and can only be expressed by smashing your head against a brick wall, acting like a gibbon and drinking yourself into a pitiful stupor.
A solution? Well the idea of hunting them is great as is nuclear warfare, although the image of a mutant chav with six spitting heads scares me. The only solution I can think of is lacing all cheap jewelery with the ebola virus and watching them all haemerrage to death. Harsh, but fair I think.
Barnstaple is great, I have spent many an evening in the town, visiting different pubs. Always a cracking night out. Different views and pubs than Exeter. Course you are going to see chavs wherever you go.
i live in barnstaple and have done all my life i am friends with most of these people you are so simply shrugging off as ‘scum’ yes i wear tracksuit bottoms, i smoke and i enjoy the taste of cider, i also just fineshed my first year of college passing on three merits and i obtained seven gcse’s last year so why don’t you spend a bit longer than a weekend to get to know the area before makiing us look like inbred, 6-toed inhebriated, disease ridden scum who do nothing but drink and smoke! oh and by the way, ciggarettes cost just as much here as they do anywhere else.
ummm kk u think barnstaple is a shit hole… stay the f**k out then love no-ones forcing you to stay. oh and the swearing bit, nicely done btw saying we got a swearing problem then swearing yourself… (way to go dumbass!!) and being anonymous so you don’t get your head kicked in is probably for the best. I must say im surprised that you even get the bus to places… your chauffeur’s limo in for a service is it?? There are a lot of places worse than barnstaple love, maybe if you got out more you would know this. Anyway got to go now coz am supposed to be meetin me mates for a piss up innit (oh and can’t forget to start a fight on an inanimate object of course. Wouldn’t want to let you down now would i??)
Barnstaple isn’t that bad for chavs. You should try Ilfracombe, that IS a frikkin dump!
Horrible bastard, Ilfracombe aint that bad either, its Bideford if anything that is a dive!!
I grew up in Barnstaple and I would say it isn’t a bad place to grow up, if all you want to do is get pissed because there is nothing else to do. It’s a good place to be in summer because you can get the bus to Croyde/Woolacombe and it is even more reason to drink. However once you get to your late teens and certainly twenties it is utter shite, if you don’t leave town you won’t notice it but if you spend some time away and come back, you will be shocked at the amount of dumbass pikeys and chavs that walk the streets, and in despair that there really is nothing to do of a Saturday night except get wasted on cheap vodka before hitting the ‘clubs’ (one could not imagine being inside one of these without being borderline unconscious) and then doing your best to avoid a beating on your way home past the cinema whilst pikeys descended from Forches and Gorwell come spilling out of Sherry’s and start sizing you up.
Problem with Barnstaple is the low-grade drug dealers who live very close to the bus station. They look like Wayne & Waynetta Slob only not as clean.
If these utter losers had to eke out an honest living in an honest way, the chavs wouldn’t be drunk or stoned as there would be no useless morons to a) serve them or b) sell them drugs.
Barnstaple a chav town? LMAO you haven’t got a f**king clue.Try getting out of your bedroom and go into the real world, you MIGHT start talking sense.Now run along and let the big people play.
This article is as weak as those it talks about. Firtsly Branstaple is a lovely town and one I am proud to be part of. I do, however, agree with the thought of too many Chavs. they are quite common place but then this is all part of the society that is evolving country wide and I do travel all over the country so I see this time and again. It is terrifyling at the rate in which they procreate and even recruit new additions.
Its down to no pride and that, my never to be friend, you too are guilty of. If you seek to add an article about the town you live in, that starts by calling it a shot hole then you are not welcome either. You too are apparenlty a chav by the way you write, and communicate.
You spend more time having a go at chavettes that chav’s. Have you been rejected by one? Or perhaps you are a chavette yourself?
Next time you write an article, learn to think first. Oh and by the way I am not defending chavs, just reprimanding one!!
My keyboard is broken and i just realized lots of my words sound cavvy lie te = the and ting = thing. ahaa what a dufus this keyboard has made me look.
To the more valid point of Barnstaple my neighboring town of Bideford. Barnstaple council do jack Poop for The younger generation, "Oh I have an idea lets put some more flowers in te town it will only cost 10,000for their up keep". Im sorry but its how a uman is brought up and if tey install lovely tennis courts that only the well off can use your gunna be left with alot of younger figures oing drugs and fighting, its in every humans nature.
My last words I will leave, "How much do you reckon they spent on getting ride of the toilets so smack heads couldnt use them anymore?"
P.S. I have not run this through a spell check, to be honest i have typed tis as quick as possible because its a waste of my time. Snobs the lot of you, start trying to put constructive tings for us "kids" to do. Stop moaning start doing.
haha, i dont think so, chavs are the scum of the earth, and i live in barnstaple, and if i know im dying of something like cancer, i will go on a rampage and rid barnstaple and all the towns around barnstaple of chavs.
Get your facts right you chav defending bit**!
