What is a chav?

I guess it refers to a unsavoury person, what does it mean and where has it come from..

cheers

unfortunately some would argue yes...
fake burberry hats, bags, scarfs,socks reebooks, tucking jeans into burberry socks,

my brother is a chav, although he says he isnt,

nothing to be proud of, maybe my sister is going the same way in Liverpool,

infact half the english nation are chavs with no moral values, the last generation has a lot to answer for.

I dont possess anything else that even remotely resembles burberry so perhaps I'm borderline. Nah I'm me and thats all there is to it. I bought the bag fro practicality not the fact that it was fake burberry, got it from Lancing Market on a bank holiday. Oh how I miss those markets, dogfood burgers, shoving and jostling past crowds of people, rain pouring down.
Oh and thankyou but I don't fall into the category of having no moral values despite possessing a chav lookalike bag. :rolleyes:

Well I'm from the lovely exciting seaside town of Shoreham by sea, much classier than Manchester!
