To think a BBC News Presenter shouldn't use the word 'Chav'?

[hughjarssss]

On BBC Breakfast this morning, the woman presenter (dont know her name) was interviewing people from the antiques roadshow.

She said 'All I want to know is how much is it worth, god we're such 'Chav's'.

I found this a bit .

AIBU

Hmmm, not what I'd expect from the BBC. YANBU!

[hughjarssss]

Thanks for the support Rach

[thumbwitch]

no YANBU. It is not appropriate for her to use the term in a derogatory fashion, if at all. that's for us MNers to do!

[zippitippitoes]

dont think she was out of order in that context tbh

[hollyandnoah]

Don't know, i didn't see it. Depends on how she used it though.

[Upwind]

in that context it is fine, chav always = vulgar when I hear it

[donnie]

sounds like she was trying to be amusing

[DaphneMoon]

We have had a thread about the word Chav before haven't we?

[mother2two]

It was said in a derogatory manner. You could have replaced the sentence with, "we're so vulgar."

I don't like the way she used the word 'God' in the context either. I know many people say it but a BBC presenter should know better.

The BBC present was being unreasonable.
