i rode home on friday and the spot outside the co-op was heaving with chavs - young ones, particularly girls. now, anyone that looks intimidating is going to instantly make me be more defensive, but I'm a decent character judge so I can often tell the jebs from the good 'uns a chav to me is someone who dresses as we all say they do. But if I knew someone, who dressed like a chav, but didn't behave like a twat, i'd probably say, he looks like a chav but he isn't one. More importantly, rather than thinking, oh that guy's a chav, i'm more likely to think, that guy's a dickhead... cus here in notts we get LOADS of people who are following this chav trend, but there's still a difference between people who take on the appearance of a trend and people who also take on the (apparent) ideals of the trend, and the second of those is what I'd call a dickhead. It's a shame to see people are weak-minded enough to follow into some trends, and to then get dragged into behaving like one of them. Basically, if I see someone behaving as though they think they're IT, then I'll take a dislike to them. If i see someone who's behaving like they think they're just a person and has an idea of their place in the world, I'll take them as that.
