Ok, first exptin, I can't believe anyone would really dress that way to attend a wedding.

my results of the test were this:

Wannabe chav
You are 3 % 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.


I have been to a rave...gulp. [Frown]
after taking the test I think I now understand...
[Wink] It's a question of tact, right?

Smuckers, you were never going to be a chav! [Big Grin]

It means someone who is obsessed with fashion, designer labels or bling. Such types are meant to be ignorant, shallow and tacky - with no tact. It isn't a term I hear widely used, outside the media.

Ok, I am confused, the definition of Chav is obsessed with designer fasion, bling etc and that is a chav wedding which means those woman wearing awful clothes are obsessed with fashion, I don't think so.....what world of fashion do they come from? Yikes...

LOL I was the same way Hibbah, I just assumed that since I didn't know what it was it can't possibly relate to me. [Big Grin]

As far as what they were wearing at a wedding, like I said before, I think this word correspondes with the TACT of a person. Wearing jeans wouldn't be considered appropriate for a wedding or a formal situation anymore than gold pants and lots of jewelery (lol) would be appropriate for a funeral...but that's what I came away with from the test.
Hey, I learned a new word! My husband will be so pleased it isn't a dirty Egyptian word for once. [Wink] [Big Grin]

OK i officially hate you all... because now you are forcing me to this...

ok, they do exist... usually chavs are between 12-18, but their more often called 'hoodies' if they're boys and maybe 'chavs' if they're girls, then they will also be sporting a buggy/puschair and one or two toddlers.
By the time they reach 20, they then turn into those you saw at the wedding, and yes, people squeeze into clothes too small for them frequently here in the UK.
It seems that this family have a thing for mid drifts, but hey, i would guess it was essex and the white high heals are now a thing of the past, replaced with fusia coloured outfits and frizzy blonde hair.

ok i'm back to my trailer now to wrap up in my burberry style quilt cover and watch day time tv, before i walk the rotweiler roming the streets eating children outside...did i say walk?! what was i thinking...he will do that himself, sorry got to go, police helicopter above

p.s dont really hatecha xxx

p.p.s i will be sure to take a photo of some chavs for you next time i'm out [Wink]

can we form a 'neo snob' collective?

Whats styrofoam? Expanded polystyrene? Like a Macdonalds burger box?

We use the term 'pot' as any kind of tub that you can put stuff in (help)!! I know what I mean by a pot, but struggling to define it in words - now I feel stupid!

I've just understood this comment - In Britian there is a saying of 'it does exactly what it says on the tin', if an item is completely self explanitary. So the plastic container had nothing at all to do with my earlier commemt!
