Clearly you have never been around englands answer to redknecks 'Chavs'.

The take away here is that as*holes are everywhere.

Meh well at least in america you have more space to breathe. In england its closterfobic its like you can't go anywhere without encountering an 'NT'. Be thankful wavefreak because if you feel overwhelmed or on the verge of a meltdown you can just drive to hte desert or a wasteland and take a breather. In fact when i visited florida 8 years ago i felt a lot more relaxed and at ease than i do in England.

Trust me people in england are a bunch of miserable primitves that like to make everyone around them feel crappy.

The things I am grateful for have nothing to do with location.

Do you live in a big city? I can imagine living in a big city if your an aspie is a living hell.

Never lived in a city proper. I grew up in Southern California. It's one big sprawling mass of humanity from the Mexican border to Ventura county line. That's about 200 miles of houses, business, roads, smog, shopping centers, military bases, industrial sites, and cars cars cars. Probably tons worse since I left 30 years ago.

Whereabouts do you live in the UK? (nearest big town will do)

I don't like giving my personal details on the internet but i will anyway.

I live not that far from london (although it does take about 1 hour by car to get to the centre of london depending on traffic or if i travel by the M3).

I live in a small town in hampshire england. The nearest BIG town is Basingtoke.

Well that narrows it down.

No no, I quite understand that and 'near Basingsoke' is fine. I just wondered if you were stuck in the middle of Birmingham or something.
But there's some nice countryside around there too and if you drive, just drive out into it and go sit in a field with a book or MP3 player. Well, given some good weather.
It's a really nice way of disconnecting from all the racket and rubbish.

Huh, Chavs.
Yes indeed, there's quite enough of them spread around, and around these parts they seem to congregate in the local Tesco and clog up the aisles.

Have chavs ever targeted you?

I have been through the countryside near basingstoke and its abosolutely BEUTIFUL!! !! !! !! !! !!

When I was younger, yes. I was a Chav magnet. I seemed to specialise in attracting the real knuckle-draggers - the ones that could pass as a woodblock without really trying.
Younger still, and it was Skinheads. I was beaten up once for being a weirdo too, and that was great fun.
It was made all the more enjoyable by my ever-loving father, who pushed me even further into the ground by giving me an unsympathetic lecture about why I should stand up for myself more.
I was so thin I was almost transparent, and if I stood sideways on I vanished.

Oh yeah, I'll say - and it's in much better shape than the countryside around here, nice though it is. (I'm about 50 miles NE of Basingstoke)

Have you ever been to the countryside near basingstoke? Like around he Alton area?


I have been targeted by chavs from time to time in the past. You got LOADS of chavs hanging around towns and outside stores back in 2003 and 2004. Not so much anymore though? I think chav is getting out of fashion would you agree becasue they do seem to be kinda vanashing which can only be a good thing

I've passed through and around that area a couple of times, but I have some friends about 8 miles SE of Alton and there's loads of common land there. I'm a bit jealous of them for where they live: amongst a small row of houses on an unmade road, with open common land on all but one side.

I think that's right, about chavness (chavosity?) going out of fashion. Instead we have the waddling things in shell-suits cluttering up Tescos where it used to be crowds of thoroughly nasty types hanging around outside the station.
Even chavs get older, and I'm not sure what's replaced them at the station. Nothing, as far as I know. The Police had a tidying-up session some years ago and closed down a few gathering spots because they attracted drugs and trouble.

Yeah its probably the police clear up which was put into action back in 2004 because i noticed in 2003 the surge in the amount of chavs you got scattered about everywhere. Prior to 2002 you hardly got any chavs scattered abot at all. Also i remember in 2002 how the amount of the chav numbers was increasing as well. almost 10 years on and they have virtually vanished into thin air. I commend the police for that

Its almost like the 1990's since there are hardly any chavs getting in the way anymore. i hope it will stay that way.

True enough, the Police really did work on that one. Well, things were getting a bit feral.

I expect some other fashionable nuisance will be along soon enough though, but here's a thought: you'll be older and wiser by then and most of it will pass unnoticed.
This sort of stuff tends to cluster around the ages of 13-18, and the real hardcore types who make a life career out of being dim and violent get picked off quickly enough in smaller towns by the Police.
