Ive always been a bit confused by them. They always seemed a bit old fashioned and hill billyish to me. Especially in the way they live. Their house is so rundown and old fashioned and doesn't look like its been decorated, ever!

At the same time they are all bit rough around the edges. I have honestly never come across a family like them in all my life. There seems to be so many of them.

Would they be classed as chavs in the real world?

Debbie is, the others aren't.

If I met Zak Dingle in real life, I'd have so much respect for him.

Only if they wear Burberry.

They don't wear Burberry or Hoodies with Baseball Caps underneath, they don't harass little kids or pensioners and they don't wear jumpers with a shirt underneath with the collars up. They also don't wear Tracksuit bottoms tucked into their socks like shitstoppers or carry MP3 players playing crappy R&B or Drum and Bass so no they wouldn't be classed as Chavs.

No they aren't. They're scallies but not the Chav-kind.

The Battersbys in Corrie are a better fit for Chavs...

Can someone tell me if families like them really exist?

I'd love to meet a family like them. Proper salt of the earth people

Nah, I wouldn't say they were on a whole.

Like others have said, Debbie is.

So why is Debbie a Chav and the others are not?

Is it because she had a child young?

Debbie is just a git. IMO.

Eli does wear a sovereign ring, so he's on his way to Chavdom, perhaps.

Debbie acts like a chav. Sarah has nothing to do with it.

She had a kid, she gets drunk underage, she's spiteful and abusive to older people, she insults everything and everyone, and to top it all off, she's into cars.

The Dingles are travellers and a bit roguish.Ok they live a settled existence now but what with Zak as an ex bare knuckle boxer id say Dingles were of traveller stock.

Theyre not exactly chavs because most of their crime is very low level these days like poaching.theyre not particularly anti social like chavs and arent nuisance neighbours.

They are based on gypsies i think, as alot of theft and inbreeding goes on.

I knew someone would have to come back with that. No, it doesn't mean you're a chav, it's just that a lot of chav girls are into cars

Debbie is the chav, the rest are more likely to equate to american Trailer Trash I think.

Apparently Charley Webb is like that in real life, in the media sticking two fingers up at people and calling fans "knob heads" when they ask her for signatures. I read it on here too, I'll do a search and see if I can bring it up.
