on my way home from taking some pics of the cars tonight. driving through v rough area to get to lanes to go home. as i get near some shops i see two workmen triangle signs in the middle of the road. they clearly aren't meant to be there as there is no road closed sign nor workmen.
i look over and a group of 20+ chavs all look over and start moving about. i couldnt get up the kerb my side as there was a car parked then a lamppost, couldnt turn around as there was someone coming up behind. so i went up the kerb the other side, hit a huge pothole in the pavement, and scratched my alloy.
under any other circumstances i'd probably have got out of the car and just moved the sign. but i was on my own, with my handbag and a camera in the footwell, pizza on the seat and another camera in the boot, and all i could think was dont stop and dont get out or you'll end up in a&e with no car!
It just sickens me that they'd do soemthing so dangerous, the person coming the other way just after me didn't understand my flashing at them and did the same thing. and also that i didnt feel safe enough to get out of my car.
sorry for the rant but i was really shook up!!
anyway pics from tonight will be posted soon!!

Chavs
Soz to here that. Don't blame you for not getting out either.
How bad is the alloy?
Hate to sound old, but i'm sure kids didn't do that when I was that age!

my dad and chris have just looked with a light and they said it wasn't too bad, i think i thought it was worse with the bang that came with it.
I'm sure kids didnt when i was younger either lol, and i'm only nearly 19!! they ranged from probs from about 13 to early 20s, and it was a proper gang of them, i just felt so intimidated

eurgh.... I'd probably have been more of a whimp and turned around....
either that or stupid and got out. I am used to chavs roaming our village, but you were right not to get out, it would have been stupid to.
Sowwy

afterwards i thought to myself i should've just knocked the signs over, but then i thought that knowing my luck i would have damaged my car anyway!
i'm used to the chavs that wander round my village too, but the ones in the area i was in are in a different league!

eughh i hate them so much! must have been pretty terrifying! Reminds me of a time once where i made the silly mistake of parking in tescos car park on a friday night. about 30 chavs surrounded the car and tried openeing the doors, i hit the central locking as a chav on the left pulled the door open, my mate managed to slam it shut, then one was trying to get in my side but it locked in time (damn slow air locking) just flung it in reverse and floored it backwards, how i didnt run anyone over is quite a mircale. they really are like rats, i keep my wheel brace in the door well now. I wish i could be like the punisher, drive into the rough areas and take out the scum

Everytime I've been to Bournemouth I've been extremely distressed with the high number of queers around. Maybe that's why it's so safe.

I went to Bournemouth on my first parent-free holiday at age 16...we got into the 18+ clubs (Slinkys??)and got wasted on the beach until the not so small hours.....was such a great holiday! hehe, don't think we would get away with it now...
