I don't live in England, my realistic problem solving is out the window for this.
Though you have a point.

neds > chavs in terms of blissful ignorance of pain, I believe. Must be the ale.
but still. Legalised Chav / Ned Hunting = win

If we lived in the UK we could write to parliament!
Wait, people from these forums live there. WRITE TO PARLIAMENT. END CHAVPLAGUE.

If (
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chav) this article is accurate, then we have these guys too, but without the plaid and burberry hats.
I've also learned of a phenomenon in Britain referred to as "happy slapping", where the goal is to strike from behind an unsuspecting person for no reason. I can't say I'm entirely displeased with the fact that I wasn't born in the UK...

Well... the problem is that most 'chavs' are actually coked up little psycho runts who will mob you like a crowd of fucking terriers. And they all wear massive rings the size of knuckle-dusters and dont give a shit about GBH'ing you - you can take a good swing at one, but then the three standing behind you will hit you in the back of a head with a stick. The only time I've ever concievably won a fight with a group of british yoof was when one of them was clearly a dwarf and I beat him in the head till my knuckles bled, then ran away.
Yo mag, this incident didnt happen in sunny banbury, did it?

Bacon,
Indeed it was that glorious summer retreat of Banbury. In People's Park, if you know of its rep.
I really wish me and my two mates weren't so pissed up at the time. With a bit of organisation we could have had the lot of them. As it was, I was drunk enough to find standing on my own a bit of a challenge, without the help of a fist in the face to knock me to the ground.

A few years ago I was beaten nearly senseless by a couple of proto-chavs in the grim northern nightmare that was then my home. I'd been playing music in a pub with some friends, and like an ejit {the beer probably had something to do with this} decided I would walk home carrying a guitar and mandolin. The surprise is I only got beaten up once. They were considerate enough to attack me outside a telephone kiosk so that I could more easily phone the police, who caught them five minutes later and retrieved my instruments.

So, at least it didn't hurt as much at the time as it could've done, right?
Me and a group of friends (what, like..5 of us? Three male, two female, all drunk, some most likely stoned) got beaten down by a bunch of 14 year old chavs. With sticks.
We were, what, all about 21-23 years old (or so) at the time.
How in fuck do you fight a fourteen year old? In the dark, when drunk?
You either near-kill the bastards, or just take the hits while persuading them they really aren't going to win...I went for option two, but it wasn't fun.
Bunch of bastards, the lot of them.

It seems that chav is a new term for an old phenomenon. In the 1980s in London they were referred to as Johns and Sharons; I also heard Waynes and Traceys, straights, casuals and soul boys.
More recently, my offspring used to call them trendies, but amongst the youth of Britain (well, at least in West Wales) the term chav is now in use. A friend of my offspring said it stands for 'Council House And Violence'- which made me giggle in a very politically incorrect way.
I think they are called Neds in Scotland, but I could be wrong.
