What's with all the insecure posters listing why you aren't chavs?

Embrace your inner ned, love your underlying scally, make friends with your hidden spide.

Hmm, I did claim jobseekers allowance for a few months in 2010, but I spent it on building a greenhouse, does that cancel out?

I grew up on a council estate, raised by a single mother.
I fix my cars on my driveway in full view of my neighbours.
I drive a white van, which has non standard alloy wheels (although they are subtle, small and from the same manufacturer).

I'm under 20, so even if I'm cold, I cannot wear a coat with a hood up or I will want to stab you. All chavs are yooufs and have hoods..

I drive a corsa, so am a boy racer.

It has nurburging sticker, which means Boyracer x25. And think i know the circuit from need for speed.

(Got the sticker from 2011 N24 I went to)

Other than that usually get called a posh tt.

I have a Vauxhall Corsa.

I think that that's about all.

I hail originally from Newton Heath, my dad was born in Moss Side and moved to Wythenshawe, none of which are classy areas. My first (and a few subsequent) cars were Capris, I had a Manta as well. I am fond of a carvery meal, I am not averse to supermarket clothes

I can do an impression of Middle Class quite well nowadays though, kids at private school, live in a "Posh" bit, know my real ales (still enjoy lager though), not a penny of debt, responsible and quite well paid job, have Waitrose delivered every week, I cycle to work and like to eat in nice places, however, sometimes a dirty burger at a race track can be the best thing ever, or a pint of lager with a curry.

I quite like my outlook, I have seen things from various viewpoints and take the bits I enjoy, I try not to be too snobby but some people just done know how to behave, I know very posh,wealthy people who are miserable and misanthropic and people with not much money who really enjoy life, we should be snobby about bad behaviour and ignorance, not someone lookign a bit rough as they may be the one that pulls you from a burning car, you just never know.

Are Converse chav? I'd say they were the opposite of chav, which expect to be Timberland or gleaming box-fresh trainers. So I'm not counting them! Mine:

Wear hoodies
Wear some clothing with visible brand names, although nothing too far up the list of PH chav brands
Drive Civic Type-R (although bought new rather than stolen / second hand, which in some eyes I think makes me less chav but more stupid)
Use public transport (train)
Live in ex-council house
Occasionally drink lager, occasionally to "binge" levels according to Daily Mail
Keep emergency Super Noodles in the house for those times that it's too much effort to tell the groundsman to shoot and prepare me a pheasant
Was married last year NOT in church (is this "chav" or just "doesn't believe in fairies"?)
Shop at Tesco
Wear an off the peg suit to work, and no tie
Watch football
Own a very small number of celebrity biographies, although more "Hammond" than "Jordan" and all unsolicited gifts
