What’s classed as “chavvy” if you’re poor…

[Justanotherwinter]

But classy if you’re rich? I’ll start…

cocaine
floor beds for children
Speaking a second language
Day drinking
babysitters

“Poor” people walking round a shop speaking a different language are viewed differently to MC people walking round a shop speaking a different language

That’s how I see it too.
I’d say having more than two (or three) kids definitely falls into the category the OP mentioned.

The babysitter one -

poor person gets babysitter to go out drinking - chav
mc person gets babysitter to go out drinking - acceptable

Shooting wildlife.
Not the done thing with your air rifle over on the waste ground up the back of the estate - quite the done thing on the estate. Tally ho!

Reading the Racing Post.

Owning weapons.

That’s a good one!

White tracksuits and white trainers.

Having a ND child
poor - just doing it to get more benefits, probably caused by smoking drugs in pregnancy etc (when they didn’t even do any) or badly behaved child
rich - poor you, you’re doing so well with DC

Not my views

Oops, lost my quote.

The one about shooting!

Unusual baby names

Having a car that you are "restoring" - fine if it's a classic jaguar, not so much if it's a 1998 fiesta.

Marrying a cousin 😀

Kids with 'unique' names
Having loads of dogs
Having a large family
Letting the children 'go feral'
Drinking every day
Drugs
Committing acts of animal cruelty for fun

Rich people taking a last minute holiday on a whim - fine, travel is so enriching for the children, etc.

Poorer people - whispers of "how can they afford that", "benefits are too generous", "disrupting their children's education but what do people like that care about education", tut tutting, etc.

(Not my opinion, just general observations)

Pmsl

carbon footprint

Crazy hair and voluminous clothes.
eccentric
scruffy

Me too.

Being extremely rude bordering on anti social

Kids (especially boys) with long shaggy hair.

Giving your children phones/iPads when they're toddlers.
MC/UC- it's educational. It will help them get a head start at school.
WC- sticking a screen in front of child's face because they can't be arsed parenting.

More debt than you could possibly pay off.

Poor = feckless, shouldn't have access to credit

Rich = great use of leverage to secure future assets

Like those two on Grand Designs this week who borrowed hundreds of thousands of pounds on short-term loans to finance a self build and ended up with a million pound mortgage.
How is that better than someone getting a payday loan to see them through the 5 week waiting period for UC or first pay check?

Dodging paying tax

Depends on the alcohol!

Diamond White 2 litre bottle (or whatevetrthe current drink of choice is) is 'chavvy'.

A chilled bottle of Dom Perignon from crystal flutes isn't!

Isn’t this the issue though!

That unless you’re drinking expensive alcohol (aka rich) then it’s a problem.

Day drinking/drinking in the park is the same whether it’s Dom Perignon or a can of larger.
Yet people judge it differently.
