The so called "Chav" uniform - tracksuits, gold chains, caps and trainers, is literally just the standard uniform of British working class lads, so it's not even subtle..chav is a slur, not a subculture. The idea it is a subculture was a media fabrication.

Some restaurants have banned "sportswear" which also happens to specifically ban baseball caps, tracksuits, as well as certain brands of trainers. It's essentially a "working class lads are not welcome here" sign.

Britain has a huge classism problem.

There is much more working class than the chav sub culture. I don't buy it being a media fabrication. Britain does have a classism problem, but this isn't it.

I'm sure THIS will be the time anybody cares.

But hey, if not, you can always make another account next month!

Gold chains are the standard uniform of the working class?

[-] Welsh1Da@lemmy.world -3 points 2 days ago

They are part of the typical attire of working class lads, yes.

Isn't this the country that puts some random person's pictures on all its money based solely on which vagina it came out of? You mean to tell me that country is classist? Who would have known?

[-] Onomatopoeia@lemmy.cafe 13 points 2 days ago

Yawn.

You and this again? Grow up

Oh hey it’s that chav.

If the name fits, be better.

Imagine my confusion when I apologized to my grandpa for being late to Thanksgiving because I blew a tranny on the highway. I had no idea what he meant when he grabbed his wrenches and said "well let's fix it"

I can see why people don't want you, and people like you around their higher class establishments.
