The above comment should be quoted in the description as an example of this shit hole. Well written though couldn’t agree more with Sound and Image and Sharon Music, the best thing about being from Chatham is the local music scene and writing songs about how shit Chatham is.

Blame Thatcher and Labour for this mess of a country. How sad the way some people can’t even write or speak properly. It’s sad

As for Chatham, I am old enough and young enough to remember when Chatham used to be one of the best places for shopping in Kent to compare with Maidstone and that’s only 28 years ago.

Top Shop, Marks and Spencer, Allders , and apparently even Bentalls used to have a department store here they are now part of Fenwick.

Many of the problems stem from Thatcherism and the greedy loadsa money society and sadly for Chatham the closure of the docks and an incompetent Medway Council. The thing is Chatham has a lot of potential if people do not talk the place down.

What a scream reading all this. Everywhere has its group of contributors with their own opinions but this is a hoot. I lived in this area from 1969-1982 and decided that was the time to move away. No disrespect to anyone that lives there now. (But can you spell?)

Medway is pikey. You don’t need to live a middle/upper class lifestyle to realise how much of a shithole it really is. What distincts Medway towns from any other Chav towns in the UK, is the socially inept, backwards characters that make the town what it is.

I was unfortunate to have gone to Kent’s biggest club with some old mates, The Amadeus where i some girls started on some girl by trying to grind up against her boyfriend/some guy she copped off with. Luckily this innocent girl (who was smaller and dressed decently) fought back depsite four people being against her.
Some guy tried to bottle one of my mates that night.

This is the mentality of these pikey, STI infested slags and gangster wannabes who swarm the shitty places of Kent. One word, Lebensraum.

Im from east london born and bred but i did live in gillingham for 4 years and spent quite a lot of time in all the towns as i got to know all the chavs there and to be honest with you all…..the place is a fuckin shithole….complete with pikeys, wannabes and slags….simple as that, the ideal night out for a bunch of chatham boys (and all the other towns) is a night in the park drinking beer and fuking girls….its completely shit with little dickheads who all claim their either ‘from london’ or ‘my dads a gypsy boiiii’….its pathetic. You cannot walk anywere without somebody starting a fight (never by themselfs but always with a group of friends behind them, though personally i never had this problem) and the girls have got so much fukin mouth you could punch them……simple as that the place is a cesspit full of pakis, cosovans, immigrants, turks, pikeys, sluts, london wannabees and cunts.

the place is fuked up because you have these chavs walking around with baggy jeans and new era caps talking like they are one of the teenagers from my manor yet they call themselfs gypsys, and then you have the other half who wear tracksuits and drive corsas or novas or mopeds saying…YEAR BRUV, NO WHAT I MEAN BOIII, CORR SHES A NICE LITTLE RATTLY, OI YOU FUCKIN SLAG…..not to mention the new black boys that have entered medway due to the new university being built who all claim their ‘from london’ again, ‘ yeah blud am from croydon yana, nahh fam manz from brixton doe ya get me’ lol the funniest thing is they do that and dress like gangstas on the street and then go back to university all dressed smart with their little textbooks…

Its full of fakes, wannabes and dickheads, two years ago a school in gillingham got the lowest GCSE results in the country so what does that tell you.

This whole thing with the london image and the pikeys is also mainly caused by a few people from london moved to medway thining life would be better and the houses were a lot cheaper thus causing this whole LOOK AT ME IM FROM LONDON BLA BLA…..also a lot of idiots are attracted to medway etc by the BIGGEST PROBLEM OF ALL….AMADEUS NIGHTCLUB….biggest nightclub in kent so many people from london and farther out in kent travel their for a night out thus ending in pregnancy, STD’s and stabbings.

To finalise, if you want a good shag then head over to gillingham, chatham, strood, lordswood or walderslade but be advised TAKE A CONDOM because you will catch something believe me.

I was born in Chatham and have lived there for the past 19 years. Its not all that bad, its got a little better in the past 6 years or so. Where ever you go you will notice chavs, girls with ‘pineapple’ up do’s, gold earrings that could hold parrots, clowns that replicate the real thing and tracksuits with ‘council estate hoar’ on the bum…Its not just generally Chatham any way that is home of the chav…its the area of Medway (including Strood, Cuxton, Rochester, Gillingham etc.) And as for the children who are mothers, not all of them are bad, my friend is a mother at 18 and she and her boyfriend pay their way – without benefits!!! So its not EVERYONE in Chatham who are ‘scum’…yes their are a few that hit all the points in being scum but generally the chav in Chatham is no longer what it once was …Chatham will always be classed as Home of the Chav but it isn’t all that bad, I’ve seen worse places!!!

I live in chatham.
It is full of sickening dregs, race hate and pond scum.
There are some nice people here, but they mainly try and keep out of sight so that the inbred filth that represents the majority here dont start fights with them for not being part of their inbred tribe. I am a very open minded person, but the behaviour of the low life majority in chatham is as pointless as it is unpleasant.
Dog shit lines the streets.
14 year old mums beat their kids and scream at them in the street just to make sure they grow up as ‘good’ as them.
Some little chavs have claimed they just want to have fun. why does that invariably involve someone else not having fun? Shall i have some of your fun with you? would that be fair play or would you run and get your cousins? in fact you worthless little pikeys only want to have ‘fun’ when you outnumber someone 5 to 1 minimum, cowardly little chatham inbreed scum.

The entire town is suffering from the social equivalent of AIDS.

I grew up in a shitty estate, I grew as a person, got a degree and have a career. My parents were poor and abusive. If I can manage it why cant all of you idiot low life chatham inbreeds manage it too?
No I dont want to give you 50 pence or a ciggie, f**k off and get a job and stop hanging around outside the off license begging.

chathamites = pond life
