For an intelligent person, you do talk some rubbish sometimes, Withano, you really do.

Well, I'm not a mindreader, Livia, nor have I read through every single one of your posts.
I don't know why your post was deleted - seems fine to me - the way you described it anyway... although I rarely comment on peoples looks so I dont know where the line is there, I'm not the guy to ask.

I'm not asking you. I'm saying the term CHAV is insulting. I was drawing a comparison. You were wrong to use the term in my opinion, and no amount of semantics and denial is going to change that.

Oh I disagree, I've never used it as an insult. I know people who would use that phrase to describe themselves, its just a sub-culture of Britain that shows no sign of fading. I also dont find the words goths, emos, jocks etc offensive, they're just british sub-cultures.. but each to their own.

I agree, what's the point in ignoring a culture that quite blatantly exists?

That said... I will openly admit that I don't particularly like the majority of chavs .
