To think our street has been taken over with chavs

[Empusa]

There is a loud party going on over the road, I know this as my PC is vibrating with the bass of it.

There are also halfwits doing wheelies on souped up motorbikes up and down the road - somehow managing to drown out the sound of the party with their irritating machines.

Grrrrrr.

"Well chavs do serve a purpose...you can't have a middle class without a lower class"

Are you assuming I'm middle class?! lol

AdelaofBlois My house is shaking. They are doing wheelies outside a childrens park. But I should get a grip?

And your 5 doors away over a road. And sorry, but fuck people who do wheelies on those souped up motorbikes in a residential street. Ring the police because I can put money on those things not being street legal.

Have given them a ring, they are going to see if they can catch up with them. Bet they get away fast though!

What did the police say when you rang them?

Have they sorted the dangerous riders?

X post!

They're taking their time then...you started the thread 2hrs ago

I didn;t get round to ringing right away, not been so well. The bikes seem to have vanished now, hopefully it'll stay that way. I know the police regularly patrol around here, so hopefully they'll know the riders.

Same here. We haven't had any new people move in, but i think the tiny bit of sun we have had has affected half the street.

So far since the dc broke up from school, we have had the following happen ...

• I was assualted by a neighbour and had to involve the police.
• Two woman who live opposite each other tried to kill each other and we had 10 police cars, 1 police van, police dogs, 2 rapid response paramedics and an ambulance up here. *Dd2 has been accused of being responsible for a 5yr olds bike going missing even though she had nothing to do with the bike or the 5yr old. *Ds has had his bike pinched

It wasn't like this a few weeks ago so i don't know whats happened.

Dear god! Hope things settle down again soon Nutcracker! Sounds horrible :(

No just stating a tongue in cheek fact to one who used the word chav.

Chav is a word often used to belittle and sneer at the working class.

I make no assumptions about your classness

Sounds like my old street:

The people next door but one were fine examples of an asbo family. Mum was a bawler, at anyone. Dad was the kind who would indulge in major reconstructive DIY at all hours (but complain if anyone else so much as sanded a skirting board). The eldest son would spend hours building and tuning dirt bikes and other non legal cycles in their garden, then use the street to test them. That was when he wasn't indulging in his other hobby, hurtling those high powered remote control cars up and down the street. They had no less that four vehicles parked up every night. A people carrier, a van, some weird baby bentley thing and a recovery truck (which they sprayed green one summer day, leaving the street misted in cheap spray paint). The entire street practically partied when they did a flit one night leaving a shedload of debt, a house in danger of falling down and a very confused cat!

I live on the edge of a council estate now and it's much quieter!

Well now you can rest assured that I don't use it as anything to do with class and everything to do with stupid behaviour.
