Why is it when I search for "Smallholdings" on property sites and such all I get is mansions worth 1 million pounds. Why cant I find a tiny run down cottage with a few acres? Advise please guys I have to get away from the city, the smell and chavs are ruining my life !!!!!!
thanks alot guys this is helpful, these are more like smallholdings rather than the manors ive been finding hehe, il right something on here if i ever get any progress,
A Chav, hmm hard to define without giving examples. Jordan and her fella (can't remember his name off the top of my head) are the crowned couple of Chav.
There are a few schools of thoughts on Chavs, it is either a derogatory term used to marginalise the working class by the middle classes. Or its a harmless term used to describe tracksuit and burbery wearing people who drive souped up cars with load steros playing urban music.
Originally from chava - Romany for a boy/man. also derogatorily for a 'hawker'/wide boy, it was used around here in the NE among locals for any boy or man who was suspected of having traveller origins or connections - until about 6 years ago when it was picked up by the media to describe 'bling' (ie heavy jewellery, lots of gold, hoop earrings etc) wearing young people and then it just seemed to get picked up by the mainstream to describe rather tacky celebrities. Children hereabouts are still called 'chavvies' though without the negative connotation. Sue[/i]
