...and being state educated does not make you a chav. I secretly suspect the quiz makers of being private school snobs...

yeah you could be right. Neither would I count shopping in Iceland or the Co-op as a particularly downmarket thing to do. Different worlds huh?



Bright light. Bright light. Uh oh.
I'm 4%, but an American Chav probably wouldn't be detected by THAT test (or maybe there's no such thing).

38% here, but I am from the South- not sure why that increases chavness but it does. I thought maybe IQ, but hey mine is not so bad.

What exactly are "pot noodles"? I assume they're the 2-minute sort...

If Ramen noodles are the same kind of disgusting excuse for food as the above, then they're very similar. Chav caviar.

Looking at the packaging, the American variant actually looks like our Super Noodles - more palatable, for sure...

Ramen noodles are a staple of college students here, heck a good batch of fried butteresd polska goes well with them.



Basically, a Chav is a Young man, who dresses mostly in Kappa/Adidas/Nike or Elissee sports clothing, wearing tracksuit bottoms tucked into his socks. Most likely will be wearing a baseball cap or sorts on his head, normally a Burberry one and will drive a modded up (modified) car, either a Ford Escort, Ford KA or a Nova. They are usually racist, homophobic, sexist and violent to boot.
Thank God I am not one , nor even know one of these chav things

Same as Pot Noodles here then but I very much doubt if your version can taste as awful, I really do.

When I was a student things were simpler - I ate traditional foods such as Guinness, vodka, Marlboro and cake. Lots of cake...

Nah, you're safe. If you had some gawdawful Happy House track (and as someone who's taken delivery of a bunch of German techno CDs, I hope people can see the difference) then I'd have serious reservations...

Is there an Aussie version of The Chav?

Incidentially, I see that the seminal website http://www.chavscum.com/ is up for sale. Class war!



My life isn't written very well.
Damn! Ramen noodles in the US cost around .99 cents, that means in the UK they're about $2 US. I couldn't even afford to be a Chav--must... get... german... techo... ringtone....

Maybe in California...

Where I live, they're like 7 PACKS for $1.00.

see, now we can afford to be chavs here with Asda smartprice noodles at 8p a packet. That's curry prawn or chicken for 15 cents.

I am familiar with those Asda noodles, mainly because the ex Mrs T was tighter than a gnat's chuff and we were once penniless students.

I doubt if our American cousins are au fait with the Chav's store of choice - the mighty Argos!

Saying that, I've bought a ton of stuff there myself recently. That Burberry baseball cap is surely just a spit away...

Me? House? Never.

The first word that came to mind was "bogan", but that seems closer to "trailer trash" than "chav" in my mind.

The prime example of an Aussie chav would be Corey Delaney. Aussies already know who I'm talking about.
