and thinking of the a27, by worthing theres a road sign saying "the racing of horse drawn vehicles is prohibited" hehehehe

There was a brilliant book out last year called The Little Book of Chavs (The Branded Guide to Britain's New Elite). :p

Gives a very detailed description of their habits and particularly good is a large list of towns of where they can be found. :D

Probably. The author is called Lee Bok (think about it) and reckons he visited Chav hangouts.

My fave is Hull - "outside Burger King and KFC on a Friday night you can watch teenage mums feed chips to their one month old babies".

I found the book is best read when you're slightly pissed with a group of friends :D
