Default Worried about the "chav culture" in the UK?

Thought this might interest some of you as I've seen people bashing the way of life back in the UK now.
It's a link to a report shown on the local tv news here in Florida last night that is sure to make anyone that is worried about chav culture in the UK, feel happier about their move home.

Who says that there is no "chav culture" here? Redneckism is just as bad.
Apparently according to the news this morning there's actually a 4 minute video of the fight on youtube.

The mother wasn't just encouraging her kid, but videoing her as well.

That's a shocking scenario, but the actual fight? I reckon I could punch harder than that.

That's not even chavvy - no sign of a shell suit or Burberry cap ... but it's well-rednecky.

Maybe, but we've got your word for that.

Apparently it went on 4 minutes with a vid of it on youtube that shows a lot more aggression than they showed on tv, but I haven't checked it out personally.. yet.
Hey if you fancy your chances and want to have a go Sally... I'm sure we could find you someone over here in FL to fight.

The redneck trucks were there to be seen everywhere, it's the US equivalent of a chav accessory.

Oh you'd fit right in over here on the East Coast! You're obviously completely wasted over there in "softlad land" california!

I haven't heard that one for years, either!

Oh Gawd, there are 426 pages of that stuff - it's so disgusting but disturbingly addictive ... page 13 ... OK, just one more page and then I'll get back to work ..... page 57 ... might as well make it a round 100 ...
