And your problem is.....?

Do you take offence at the fact that your son has a peugot 206 with an OM-15 can for an exhaust or because he is a "cheltenham average" and is being labelled as "white trash" because urban language in the UK has now taken the term "chav" to mean something else.

Put the word into Google and you will read the meaning I was using, and not referring to some public school boy with a father who seems blinkered to modern day lifestyle.

Perhaps you can explain what YOU understand the term "chav" to mean?

Maybe a good idea for a thread in JB "what is a chav?"
