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!?!

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. Drinking wine from a plastic bottle is classy.

Wannabe chav
You are 18 % 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


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

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.

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.

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.

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...
