It's hard to distinguish them at about 2 AM, so yeah 12. Chavs... that's all i have to say, this also applies to 4,7,8,10 and 11 There you go a reply from a UK Citizen I just learned about chavs from a brit a couple days ago, the like americas ghetto people. I want to visit england but as a american I wonder if its a good idea since I learned the british hate us, what would be better for an american to be around normal british or chavs since there dumb Um... Brits don't hate Americans? Even if we did, you act like you'd be attacked for it or something. =\ Gonna go ahead and say something that's painful for me: chavs are normal Brits, and they aren't all dumb. That's a stereotype about chavs that isn't entirely true. I actually know lots of friendly, smart chavs. Like pretty much every other group in existence, it's just that the worst of the bunch are the most memorable ones. @kolp216; lol, no worries. I guess am foolish to go by most british opinion I herd on this sight, about america or chavs. Ionly learned what chaves were a few days ago, and looked it up after a british girl told me what a chav was . It could be like saying all gangsters in america are dumb and not to be trusted. to me when I saw what people call chavs on british TV I thought they seamed cool. then hereing from british people here saying there dumb who violence. also I thoght british liked americans but on this sight i have yet to see one who dos. I even been told not to come to britain as an american so yes i did assume I would end up in a ally some were. would I be scene less in britain that I could get along with what brits call chavs. why chavs is there a more polite way of refereeing to the type of life style thy live? I don't think most Brits dislike Americans infact I would say quite a lot of Brits idolise American celebrities as we have a lot of American tv shows, music and movies here, and there is a big difference between disliking America and disliking Americans. I judge everyone on an individual basis and would never dislike someone for where they were from, so even if I dislike your government's policies or actions it wouldn't make me judge you. If you came to Britain the chances of you being treated badly are low unless you went to a real yob area (football hooligan type people). nicely put, am the type who is shy but talkitive not a loud rude american like i seen in the past, must be mindful and respect the country your in. I like making friends so I hope I will make a few when I visit. over here we idolise british rock stars and actors |

I like meeting people from other countries as you have instant interesting conversation topics, in finding out what it is like in their country. |

Why do people always view the UK as England, there are 3 other countries in the UK, where is the Welsh/Northern Irish and Scottish stereotyping in this post!

Some of the best live action comedy, science fiction on TV, (Dr. Who, Sherlock, Python, etc) I trained with British soldiers,a nd have come to the opinion that drinking is not a pastime, rather a sport, and I admire the vocabulary and the ability to go 10 miles and find a new accent to our shared language. being of Scotts and Norman decent I find it overall fascination with the area.
