Always been interested in the origins of that word 'chav', egb.
Down here it's widely used locally in nearby Newark-upon-Trent in Nottinghamshire, a town that has always been noted for it's *ahem* to borrow from another thread, travelling people. That being largely, reputedly because of it's proximity to the main A1 road.
A standard greeting in Newark might be 'How yer kitchin chav' (chavvy)? But never in Nottingham itself. I'm taking it that the word is of Romany origin?
As for the film itself, how authentic is it really? Does it relay the culture of that time in a truthful manner?
