I was on the train last night on the way home from London (took the other half to see Phantom of the Opera) and across the train carriage from us was a group of 3 chavs.
They spent their journey (luckily only 2 stops) listening to someones ringtones and swearing. the highlights included:

'I really want to get hold of the crazy frog for my phone, its well smart'

'I want that ringtone that goes fk, fk, fk, fk, fk, fk, fk cos that'll be well cool'

Ticket checker quizes them about their ticket and when they mouth off he reports that 2 policemen are waiting on the platform and he'll report them if they don't behave. After he leaves, a 14 year old chav remarks:
'Yeah, how does he know I'm not old bill? I could be a policeman.'

'I only paid 2 quid for this ringtone' '2 quid, smart thats well cheap'
How can anyone thing £2 for a 25 second poor quality clip is good when the whole song can be bought off iTunes for 79p?

Whats the most chav like chav anyone else has witnessed?

Walked past a closed late shop last night and witnessed a number of chav lads impressing the chav girls by head butting the steel shutters! Why? Your guess is as good as mine....

Waiting at a bus station with a group of charming individuals next to me drinking woodpecker and having a SCREAMING row about Darren and Tracy's relationship. Resulted in one of them being pushed into the road, then lying there for about 10 minutes before a bus came along.
You TRY to ignore them when they're being absolutely disgusting at you, funny how I should feel intimidated by uncouth idiots half my age

I may be on for 20 points because I have an old scar in an eyebrow where the hair doesn't grow...unfortunately it looks exactly like I have shaved a gap in it deliberately

I almost decide to kick one of them off the bike into the path of a oncoming Bus..

Murder, you're honour? I was performing a public service.

Where chavettes have their hair drawn back so tightly into a pony tail that their ears meet round the back!

"His and Hers" Burberry caps one on each side of the parcel shelf! What a great advert for your car!!

I sent one flying the other day. The rude git was walking out of a passageway wiv da homeez, too busy dissin' to notice I was walking along the pavement. He smacked into my chest and bounced off, landing in the gutter.

I was going to enquire after his wellbeing, but he didn't look like he'd appreciate the concern.

I skittled one the other day, I'd just had a go at 2 of them who'd swaggered out in front of my pickup and given me the finger when I hit the horn, the third chav (resplendant in tracksuit and white trainers) set off running, timing his run to pass directly behind me.

Unfortunately I seemed to lift off for a moment as he ran out and he had to try and avoid running into the truck, instead he seemed to pirouette and land in a chavy heap.

Shame

I'm 0% chav but am a bit guilty of being a hedgemonkey. Although my right wing dogma will put that one straight.

A couple of months ago I saw one stealing a hubcap off my neighbour’s car. As he swaggered down the road with it I shouted at him to put it down. He turned round about to give me some verbal and he must have noticed I was taking one of my German Shepherds for a walk so he threw it on the floor. I picked it up and let the dog off the lead as he needed a bit of exercise. Ah, the Burberry boys can run when they want to.

some discusting chav scum were casing our little road (6 houses) at about 3.30am this morning - clearly looking for stuff to nick.

How the they thought they would remain 'undercover' on their stealth moped, complete with bean tin exhaust amazes me. I could hear them coming back about 10 minutes before they bumbled up. thieving scum.

Nah, you're not chavs. It's got to be shaved in deliberately, and chavs are lazy wimps - wouldn't go near tools unless they were going to put together a barbecue set, and even then they'd have trouble using a screwdriver.

They have to have the full set of tools on show through the garden shed window, of course, to make them look all hard and manly.
