Re: Chavs
I've just read 3 articles there relating to Accrington and they do not sound like the town I live in. It's no wonder outsiders get a bad impression. Surely it can't be as bad as that?
Yes we complain about the abundance of pound shops and lack of imagination re Broadway but it isn't quite the dump depicted there.
As for all the "Chavs" locations - I know someone who works in one of those locations described and she is an honest hard working young woman.
They reckon you can buy a house round here for under £20,000. Is that possible do you think?
I also know people in the FernGore and Scaitcliffe areas who are respectable decent people. I live sort of in between the two here on Willows Lane. Yes there are scruffy houses but I think they are in the minority (annoyingly a couple are too close to me for my liking) but it doesn't mean everyone is the same.
From that site the impression I get of "Chavs" are people on benefits with an "attitude" and think the world owes them a living, young mothers who look barely old enough to have babies with one or more in pushchairs and/or toddling alongside, obligatory jewellery that you'd think they would have been better spending their hard earned dole on more constructive things like proper food and usually spoiling for a fight.
Come to think of it - they also sound a bit like some of the crowds Busman gets on his private hire outings bringing crates of lager onto the coach and spilling it all over the place.
