Preston\'s chav ban
Preston's chav ban
femalefirst http://www.femalefirst.co.uk/celebri...+ban-9542.html 2006-04-22 11:50:02 'Celebrity Big Brother' star Preston wants the word 'chav' to be banned. The rocker - who last week got engaged to girlfriend Chantelle Houghton, who he met in the 'Big Brother' house - is fuming the slang term has become so widespread in British society because it is offensive to the working class. He fumed: "Anyone who uses the word 'chav' makes me very angry. It's my least favourite buzzword. It basically stands for council house adolescent vermin. It's middle-class people saying, 'Aren't poor people gross?' We should all stop using that word." Preston has admitted he was a tearaway when he was a teenager. But the Ordinary Boys frontman claims he ditched his wild ways because his behaviour was a major turn-off to girls. He told Britain's Top of the Pops magazine: "When I was young I was a bit of a s**t to be honest. I was a right little brat. I was just really out of order all the time, but I'm not like that now. I had to stop the girls didn't really like it." ------------------------------------- Hes correct about the 'chav' fiasco. The middle class media use it as a stick to beat those of us from poorer backgrounds. |
He hasn't changed much has he ?
