Chav Tourism

It was at a mate's birthday last night, that I heard a brilliant new idea for a the next BIG thing to hit the UK tourism industry - Chav spotting.

It all stared with that old chesnut of questions...."what is a chav"; my good friend (from Croydon, South London) tried to explain the concept to these guys from Switzerland (with some difficulty - in a country where an IR student's starting salary is £35k its understandably hard to grasp the concept) - her mate (also from Croydon) then intervened, suggesting we all go on a night out to Croydon....

The following e-mails resulted : scroll down and start reading from the bottom up...

As we said you can't schedule fights in croydon they just happen. i know for sure there will be at least one though .... shoes anything as long as they aren't not trainers- otherwise you'll get agro from bouncers but then again... good plan for starting a fight! wear some bling bling man jewellery guys-medallions, gold chains, signet rings etc. girls we’ll do scrapped back ponytails so stock up on the hairgel.

Pierre no dogs racing in croydon as such but look at a guy with a dog the wrong way and there will be dog fighting…. Most likely to occur in new addington. We’ll bring some chicken nuggets to bait them…

can't wait - itinerary of fun pending...
