Ive just been to my local shop and there was a huge gang of kids, girls and boys stood outside. All wearing tracksuits, baseball caps, chuky gold jewllery and listening to crap rave music on their mobiles :rolleyes:
Its pretty intimidating for starters and Im not easily scared either. They were asking people passing to buy them cigarettes and naturally they were refusing and receiving a mouthful of abuse for their troubles. Have they got nothing better to do? Why is it you never see Emo kids or trendy kids stood outside shops or on street corners? It is always the chavs!

p.s. i am not saying that as an insult to classical music or cliff richard.
Chav's are everything that is wrong with British society today.
It's annoying and luckily, it doesn't happen often, sometimes not at all for ages where I live. When it does happen, it's usually 3 12 year old lads that speak through their nose and start with ''arrr yeah'.
It is awful, go to a pub (over 18's of course) someones house or something just get off the streets. The Police should do something :eek::mad::rolleyes:
I know- that and the fact that several of them make a habit of shouting insults to random people.
Good lord, that would wipe them out.
Also, most "emo kids" are actually nice people who don't go around terrorising the public. They just torment their own minds.
I never got why they did it, but I always knew they were the ones most likely to have a fight... Indeed, our council got rid of the BMX track and replaced it with... a picnic area. Yeah, so youth-orientated.
And I'm trying to figure out why hanging round a shop and being annoyed at people for not buying them cigarettes makes them "scum".
Nah, it doesn't. It makes them wee fannies.
That doesn't stop them replacing it with Mozart, of course...
Unfortunately, corner shops on estates have also attracted the mindless chav element.
They have attracted youths who want people to buy cigarettes and alcohol for them. Which kind of makes sense really, because if you're after "booze and ****" you'd hardly hang around outside a branch of Waterstones.
Well as long as I have been alive they have, and although they sometimes ask people to buy **** for them, usually they just hang around in rather intimidating looking groups.
and I am considerably older than you, Mark.
Isn't it? Really?
They look intimidating? Is that merely our own paranoia about youth?
While such groups of kids caused me no-end of trouble when I was a kid, they don't anymore. I say "thanks" if one steps aside. I don't barge, I don't avoid, I don't discriminate.
I'm even one of those people that wears clothes one could easily mock as they're a bit unusual (an Australian bush-hat and a black leather trenchcoat - it's made some people think I look like a cowboy... despite it not looking like a cowboy...). From that perspective I'd make a fairly easy target for mocking... yet it never happens with kids.
The only negative responses I get from the way I look tend to be from people in my own agegroup!

Does the hat have corks dangling from it?
