Re: Chavs

We have just been served by a definite chav in a cafe this dinner time.

On the menu they have chicken kiev and chips (served with either peas or salad) and I'm partial to a chicken kiev.

After waiting for ages ( we were going to give them another ten minutes and then leave if no-one had come to take our order) up strolls Waitress Chav, complete with enormous earrings and peering through her fringe.

Me: Do you have the chicken kiev?
Chav: We 'aven't got no chips coz chip pan's broke.

Me: But do you have the kievs?
Chav: You can 'ave em with summat else like mashed or roasted or summat like.
Me: I'll have the roasted please.
Busman: (orders sausage and egg) and instead of the chips........
Chav: We 'aven't got no chips coz chip pans broke.
Busman: Yes I know. I'll have the roasted. And two cokes please.

Off she goes. Re-appears a little while later with a huge plate bearing two small chicken kiev's and three and a half roast potatoes looking rather lost.

Me: Shouldn't there be a salad with that?
Chav: (slowly) Oh yeah.

Off she goes again with the plate and brings it back with salad on. Busman's meal also arrives. We wait for the cokes, we wait a bit longer, we wait some more. Chav starts to play with her mobile phone. Busman attracts her attention (eventually)

Busman: We ordered two cokes.
Chav: (even more slowly)Oh yeah.

She goes to the fridge, gets two cans and plonks them upside down on the table inside two glasses, wanders back to play with her mobile phone.

We didn't leave a tip.

Re: Chavs

What did I say.... They're everywhere!!! Chav spotting can be such fun. There should be some sort of selective breeding programme to keep their numbers to a minimum, but unfortunately these people are not usually choosy about who they breed with..

in general the desription off dress code for a chav would be tracksuit bottoms , trainers thick gold chain ( usualy low quality ),
From that description, it would seem to indicate most of the youth today, at least in Accy & Ossy, do they swap them come 9am each weekday morning, or do they attend after 9am dressed like that.

Re: Chavs

The article is spot-on. Accrington and indeed East Lancashire has become the worlds rubbish tip for distressed humans (if you can call them that)!!

I know there are some nice people around, and that not all young ones are brain-dead, but it doesn't tale long to see what a mess the whole area is. Especially when you either live or visit an area that is so much more ....nicer!!

Chaves...such people make life more difficult...and test you to your limits (and beyond). Perhaps I'm just a little bit (or a lot) old fashioned...and believe that society and good manners are something that we should uphold and extend our society to make improvements, in life and in our daily habitat.

Sorry Accy............................I just don't know how it could be changed...and even worse...there is nobody to ask...they've all become CHAVS!!

THOSE WHO THE GODS WOULD DESTROY.....THEY FIRST MAKE MAD!!!!!!!!!!!!

actualy you are spot on

take a look around accy center its full of teenage girls with beer bellies walking around or sitting on street corners with their bottle of WKD

ime not that old my self ( ok ime not a teenager) but if girls were like this when i was a teenager i would probably be celibate or gay lol

like i said i am no spring chicken but on a few occasions i have had to go up to my mums house and threaten teenagers because they told my mum to F off when she asked them to stop sitting on her wall drinking booze and smoking drugs

violence dosnt solve anything but will do as a second best because the police never come when you ring them

lol as i type this i looked outside my window only to see a teenage girl throwing up in the street while her chav type boyfriend looks in the air like hes not with her

Re: Chavs

I suppose that would be morning sickness, would it?

Seriously though, I have to agree with Darby on this. Over the last forty years or so there has been an appalling drop in standards of behaviour and civility. We have all seen it. The main cause is the dreadful standard of education offered in schools. Kids of my generation were not taught how to behave themselves in public, and they in turn have passed that lack of knowledge on to their children who in turn have passed it on to the current generation of school children. Every generation becomes a little more ignorant, rude, obnoxious, selfish and inconsiderate, until you have todays crop of stalwart citizens whose only thought is for themselves. Who believe that the world owes them a living and who will scream and scream and scream until they make themselves sick if they don't get it. Who do not understand that the good things in life come at the cost of hard work.

Blame for the current situation must also be placed fairly and squarely on the shoulders of the capitalist system; "Live now-pay later", Sell eveything you have to buy this product, and the next, and the next, ad infinitum, ad nauseam! Because you are not cool if you don't posess more gadgets and gee-gaws than any sane rational person would know what to do with.

There has got to be something wrong with a society that is willing to pay a pound for a drink of water that is no different from the stuff that comes out of the tap, and all because it is in a cool shaped bottle or some half-witted celebrity has been seen drinking it. There is one from the makers of Lucozade currently being advertised on tv claiming to be more hydrating than water. Do they think we are all stupid? Well, I guess that enough of us must be to make the expenditure of millions on marketing this water profitable.

I am now going to go and repeatedly bang my head against the wall in frustration.

Too true A-Bob...

There are a lot of old sayings that have stood the test of time and are now more appropriate than ever.

A FOOL AND HIS MONEY ARE EASILY PARTED

EASY COME..............EASY GO

YOU CAN'T GET BLOOD OUT OF A STONE

EVERY YEAR THERE ARE MORE FOOLS THAN LAST YEAR

And my favourite:

YOU CAN FOOL SOME OF THE PEOPLE SOME OF THE TIME,
YOU CAN FOOL SOME OF THE PEOPLE ALL OF THE TIME,
BUT YOU CAN'T FOOL ALL OF THE PEOPLE ALL OF THE TIME!!!

(Although I'm begining to doubt it!!)
