I like Aldi and Lidl, but I find that it's not so much the Chavs that shop there, it's the immigrant workers - it's like a European convention!

Sharron, you said "other Chavs" - does that mean you are one? :-D

Before my daughter married and was living in London with her boyfriend she said she, and others like her were dinks. I had never heard of this but apparently it means double income no kids.

I think they make it up as they go along

Matthew and Jane Elwood who had my great great grandfather Francis Edward Elwood baptised in 1807 at Horsham Sussex. There is no sign of Matthew or Jane from this date and my great great grandfather was brought up as Francis Edward Elwood MITCHELL

Joeva,,

Chavs invented and labeled themselves as Chavs

Anncardiff;

Chav is working class youth ! I am no longer youthful but still object to this label being applied to young people. Stereotyping people is against my beliefs !

But the term chav is, in itself, derogatory and pejorative.

I love Aldi and Lidl, but do most of my shopping in Tesco for convenience and to save time :-)

Well Erroll you did say 'They' which I understood was a judgement on chavs,!

A very wooly judgment to my mind. :-|

Asda nearest ,then Tesco, Aldi then Lidl... don't shop in the last 2 cos I aint a chav !

Edit..son worked in Asda on the George Clothing dept and the empty packets of things they found nicked and hidden in the changing rooms / under the clothes racks there was unbelievable .
The George dept was by the Security desk,so he would often chat to the lad who was about his age.
He'd stopped someone for nicking a Asda cheapy 90p toothbrush.
If your going to to do it FGS go for something a bit more up-range !!!!

Nothing.. cos I'm fed up !

Like Joeva, no Aldi or Lidl around here, so me & the other chavs shop at Tesco.

Mind you, bit awkward if you don't drive & work. There's a free bus - until 2:30 in the afternoon. :-|

Well Sharron, this chav hasn't got an Aldi or Lidyl within walking distance of at least 20 miles so I am relegated to Tescos ! :-D

I do most of my shopping in Aldi and Lidl but I do wonder why I don't see many other chavs in there.


Where do they do theirs?
