Oh Dear Me!!!


Wannabe chav
You are 15 % chav

You clearly know you are not, nor will you ever be anything even closely resembling a bonafide chav but that doesn't stop you from jumping on the bling bandwagon every now and then. There's nothing wrong with a bit of pretending though you'll never be able to hold your own with the true Burberry brigade.


Those across the pond - if trying the quiz - a Croydon Face lift is much beloved of underage mothers - a very tight ponytail whcih stretches the face. Re anyone being on Tricia - this is a chat show - lowbrow - you know the sort of thing - I am sleeping with my brother's pet gerbil's sister's Aunt kinda thing.

I object to the 'tea as your evening meal' question that is not chav, it's Northern :mad: and the 'have you ever been to Blackpool Pleasure Beach?' Yes I'm in the North. :soap: :rain: :rollpin:

:p

I know! I am sure that is what tipped me into Chavness - I have been to Blackpool Pleasure beach - I like it!

Okay Veggie - what was your score????

Well at least chavs aren't just down in Essex!!!! To be honest whenever i am on holiday with a friend and we see a thickset guy with loads of gold jewelry, burberry baseball cap etc we try to decide befroe he opens his mouth if he is from oop north or from Essex.

I don't think 'tea' for evening meal is only Northern. When I was young, living in Kent (another Chav stronghold!!) we always referred to the evening meal as tea - but I think that is 'working class' so would have come from my mum and dad I reckon.

Nowadays we have dinner from Monday to Saturday in the evening and reverse the trend on Sunday having dinner luchntime and then tea at dinner time..err are you keeping up with this??!!

I'm a 13% wannabe chav - I think the things that tipped it for me were that I'd eaten meat from a tin ('luncheon meat' whatever the **** that is!?!), been in a Little Chef and called my grandmother 'nan'.

And I grew up calling the evening meal 'tea' in Birmingham - I think its a general working class expression, rather than a north-south thing.

Janey :carrot:

i live in plymouth we dont' have chavs we have janners and swills (basically the same) i have tea and i'm from devon so is my dad and my mum is from london. i call my grandmother nan and have done since i could speak at her choice. alot of what is on there is not chav but poor. i.e student! i.e i have been for a romantic meal at pizza hut when i'm totally broke. anyway i got 26%

Shame on you Slimmingsi!

It annoyed me to have to say yes to tinned meat - I am now vegetarian but when younger was not responsible for what went down my gullet - corned beef in this instance - oh and spam - used to love spam fritters.

Just blame my mum - not my nan! ctually I had a Grandma and a nanny.

Well that's told you Heva - not even a real one. Like me you are a wannabee! Oh the shame. Do they have them in your neck of the woods???

I'm not even sure what "chav" is, but I'm 21%

~jess~

Oh yes we have them, otherwise known as the townie. Salford Precinct is their natural home, often to be seen with their tracksuit bottoms tucked into their socks pushing a baby with pierced ears. The chav baby can be recognised due to the greggs pastie welded to its face, earrings almost as large as the mother's and cheapo imitation designer clothing. I'm convinced chavs wean their kids on pasties and sausage rolls instead of rusks!

It is no coincidence that if you do a search for 'salford precinct' on google, the first thing to come up is ChavTowns!!!

Argh! I'm 28%! Where did Veg put that Burberry hat icon??

:D

Thank you! That's just what I need, then I can score over 30% next time!!!

Is there a white stilleto?

I had to admit to that one. And of course I've been to Blackpool Pleasure Beach - my grandparents live there! (Blackpool, not actually the pleasure beach...)

I'm 13% chav!

I'm glad you explained the croydon face lift because I've never heard of that before. Seen them on plenty of people though lol

it should have questions like. do you wear football shirst everywhere. do you wear a nice baseball cap so far back on your head the peak points striaght up. it also missed the gold sovreigns. not to mention owning a vauxhall nova with a bit of mfi chipboard nailed to the back as a spoiler. there is some very good chav cartoons on the cecimoz website

Oh 15% that's ALL?? And I thought I was Blingin'! :rofl:

eek I am a 23% chav damn knowing people who've been on trisha

I am cringing cos my Essex bruv and his very essex wife got only 8% to my 15%. Methinks they told porkies.....

You're going to laugh at this....look at the score the American girl got!

Amateur chav
You are 51 % chav

You are the official chav-in-training, you know where you want to be but there are still a few obstacles to get through before you make it as a fully paid up member of chavdom. Keep on flying the Burberry flag, watch a few more episodes of Footballer's Wives and you'll be home and dry.

Not sure what the Burberry flag is...but I'll definitely keep watching Footballers' Wives! :)

Ahh1 but then I think a lot of Chavs go to Florida for their hols!

Burberry is the burberry check of the design company. Used on the lining of its coats then someone took over the design and 'Posh' SPice (Mrs Beckham) and some other twits used it from head to toe - baseball caps, make up bags, boots etc etc

Ah, I think I've seen it!

I can't say that I've ever seen a real live "chav", but plenty on telly! Vickie Pollard on Little Britian.."Yeah but...no but...yeah but...."

That's right! She even has the "Croydon face lift" (severe ponytail that stretches the face.

What gave you a high score, Jen - not the white stillettos? Surely not after labor day!!

Just 5% - good job they didn't ask about Rockport shoes/trainers.

It was the Little Chef thing that let me down - my Dad was the person who thought up the Little Chef idea because he was sick and tired of the hassle of travelling with children and a baby (me) and struggling to find somewhere child friendly to feed/change me on a long journey.

Your dad thought it up?

I could only dream of little chef when I was a kid, :p being one of four kids we could never afford it.

Never cheap is it? I was 'only' one of three kids but when ever I go anywhere such as London Zoo or a museum I often wonder how my Father used to manage to pay for us all and give us ice cream treats. Mind you this wasn't very often and we certainly never visitited a Mac D's althoguh I do remember going to a wimpy bar with my mum and feeling terribly 'grown up'.

Also later on when we had to travel up from Kent to Hammersmtih Hospital - another expense! - Mum and I had lunch in a cafe - I havd a burger and listened to G'dbuy t'Jane by Slade (one of my faves at the time!).

Another time I had to travel up to the hospital with my Dad - a doctor offered him some money towards his fare and he turned it down. Very proud my dad. I bet he never told mum that!!

Okay...so...what does it say about me that I've never been off the North American Continent and I'm:

44% CHAV!?! :encore:

Yes, I DO love fried Spam sandwiches and I used to wear white stilettos with my jeans ALL the time in the 80's. And...the 44% was before I checked no to the burberry plaid thing because I didn't know it was called burberry plaid...and I used to have a raincoat with that in it. I can't remember the other things I checked yes to, but I know I've never drank cider in a...was it a bus stop? Yes, I've smuggled my own bottles of beer in a bar and I've also asked to buy one cigarette off friends at a time. But this was all in the 80's, so maybe I should redo the test to answer only in the last 5 years? Maybe I'm a 'former' chav... Or 'reformed' chav?

I still smuggle booze into places, last gig I went to I put white wine in a 500 ml water bottle saving me loads of money. :devil: Drinking wine from a plastic bottle is classy.:dz: :chin:

What gave you a high score, Jen - not the white stillettos? Surely not after labor day!!

Damn, you found me out! ;)

It was that and the screwtop bottles of wine at dinner parties! :lol:

Hey......it's not MY fault my cousin is named Kevin!!

Concerningly I am 41% Chav!

Must be the sneaking malibu into the nightclub that did it!

Whats this about one of the Princes being a chav? All DH told me is that one of them had been photographed dressed as a chav. Was it a fancy dress thing - or has he really turned in to one.

OMG - can you imagine - the first royal chav! (Although I had my doubts about Princess Margaret).

Now that I know what a chav is...I see them everywhere! I was watching Footballers Wives last night, and Shannon is DEFINITELY a chav! (She's the one married to Harley in the season I am watching (season 2 I think!)

It was William in fancy dress. It really annoyed me, I saw it in the sun online. Wills posed with army pals after their first term at Sandhurst military academy, Berks.

'Berks' that would be right :p :D A right load of posh ones.

I thought ALL the royals were chavs! They haven't got a brain cell or an ounce of good ol' common sense between the lot of 'em...and I'd hate to have one of them move in as my next door neighbour - all that loud braying from the family, and then to top it off all the corgis yapping and running riot all day - no thanks. ;) :D

Janey

Another American but only scored a 10%. This coming summer though we will be going to Ibiza to visit a really good friend who lives there - do I get more points for that? And she used to live in London? Great for a giggle this afternoon thanks.

Why yes Sugar Cube - at least 5 more points for Ibiza (Ibeeza innit? in Chav speak).

3% Only 'coz I know someone with a hot tub (no way could he ever be described as a Chav) and the Croydon face lift - but that was thanks to my Mum giving me a french plait..............

18% chav here!

Of course I've been to the Pleasure Beach - I LIVE in Blackpool. I even worked there for a season - it was great - we used to get free tickets to all the rides!

I did wear white stilettoes in the 80s and I have been known to take my own drinks into a club - but it's always Amaretto!!

You are 0 % chav
You clearly know you are not, nor will you ever be anything even closely resembling a bonafide chav but that doesn't stop you from jumping on the bling bandwagon every now and then. There's nothing wrong with a bit of pretending though you'll never be able to hold your own with the true Burberry brigade.

What's it mean about the bling bandwagon? How can I have bling if I'm 0%?

My son got 8% but he lied...

How can you get 0 percent? :tantrum: Not fair!

Did you see Dr Who when Rose was possesed by umm that Cassandra thing :lol: 'I'm a chav' (or something) :p

That chav bit made me laugh! I loved Dr Who - I've been very impressed by Billie ?? whotsit?? (can't remember her name). Before the first series started, when they made the announcement about her being the Doctor's sidekick, I thought she was going to be rubbish - but she's been great. (Not sure about the new Doctor though!)

Piper! ;) The new Doc will never be the old Doc. Christopher Eccleston is a meanie leaving already.

I agree with you completely - Christopher Eccleston was perfect as the Doctor - and although he wasn't the best looking man in the world he was quite lustworthy in his own way. :)

I don't have a clue what a chav is and just as well since I am only 8% <G>

Misti 'chav' comes from a Romani (gypsy) word for 'child' but inexplicably, it's become British slang for 'white trailer park trash'. If you Google the words 'Vicky Pollard' you may see an example - or just look at pics of Brittany Spears to get the idea....

It's a really insulting term. You don't want to be a chav, trust me! Just one misjudged thing can turn you into a chav - bling, for example, fake tan, white stilettos, ankle bracelets or anything Burberry.

Ooh Dr Who.... I totally fancied Christopher Ecclescake but David Tennant is also getting quite high on the list of favourite Dr Whos. My 5 year old is Dr Who obsessed - he made me video it on Saturday because the DVD's not out til May and he's watched it over and over all week, so far... He keeps quoting it at us... he's a real nerd!

Thanks for the explanation, Phat! LOL fortunately I don't have any of the examples you gave. :)

Most of us that come up as 'wannabee Chavs' can probably blame our mothers for our 'Croydon Facelift' ponytails or for eating canned meat. I intend to put all the blame firmly at my mum's door! I see years of therapy and Oprah or Tricia appearances looming large!

31% Chav here! Damn eating tea, raves, screw top wine, and white stiletto's! And of course my friend who was only in the audience for Trisha but did jump up and wave his finger at someone. As someone else said if you blanked out the 80's, and believe me I'm trying (!),my score would be much more respectable.

I loved the previous Doctor Who and was gutted when he left but last saturday left me thinking 'I could get used to him' about the new one. He's kinda sexy and that's wrong but so right! :o

Aw, no - the 80s were great!!

*looks around blankly as the room goes suddenly silent and everyone looks at her warily*

They were!!! Great music, big hair and white stilettoes!!

Or is it just me?

Nope, Robsia...it's not just you! :)
<-----wore a white stilletto or two in her day! PLUS, owned stock in Aquanet Hairspray!

No - I loved the 80s as well - in the early years I was a New Romantic and after that I turned in to a Goth for a while .... sad person that I am!

I have never worn white stilletoes but I did have the BIG hair, power suits and shoulderpads for work. Did anyone else have those shoulderpads on an elasticated shoulderholster thingy that you put on under your clothes? I mean, in those days the clothes came with huge shoulderpads built in to them and I still wore the separate shoulder pad thingies underneath. By the time I had a jacket over the top I was wearing three layers of shoulderpads and must have looked like an American football player! Those were the days... I was a size 10 for all of the 80s!

My proudest moment in the 80s was when I got on a bus in my latest get-up and a punk on the seat behind turned to the person next to her, horrified as a little old lady, saying *But you can't wear that with that!* I was sooo flattered that I wore things punks daren't...

Never had the big hair, never had the shoulder pads, never had white stilettos (bright red ones, sky blue ones, orange ones....) Did have the ra-ra skirt and big eyebrows like Madonna's.

I love Christopher Eccleston...he lives around the corner from me. I once saw him being accosted by some youths while I was having my hair cut. The hairdresser was like 'oh, what's going on over there? Is it? Oh its Christopher Eccleston!!!!' Very exciting. I've seen him walking about quite a bit, he likes his jogging too. Whenever he is walking about he always seems to be clutching a Boots placcy bag!

Sarah Anne - re shoulder pads - I rmember getting myself a navy suit that I thought would be just the ticket for an interview. It was just as you described - I could have played American football in the jacket! Of course I have to quickly removed them before the interview!
