Ashington is by far the chavviest town in Northumberland, every other car you seeon the road is either a chavved up Vauxhall (the chavs’ vehicle of choice) or a Motability car of some kind (Usually either a Zafira or a C4 Picasso), the aging Chavs’ vehicle of choice.  The town centre is a Greggs pastie filled hellhole which is a constant aroma of cigarette smoke.  Unemployable, tatooed half-wits lope around with their out of control, pastie eating kids, shouting and bellowing at them as they go.  This community used to be dependant on the Coal industry but has failed (probably due to too much coal dust in their brains) to adapt to the changes forced upon them by the 1980s closure of the mines.

Nearby Newbiggin by the sea is also a victim of this inbred way of life, which is a shame because it used to be a popular resort in victorian times…
