People who do not know how to hold a knife and fork correctly

Girls wear fake gold clown pendants. My understanding is that the bigger the clown, the further up in the chav hierarchy the girl is.

Well on the other thread, obviously some people believe a tattoo qualifies.
What are other signs?
Anyone with a body kit that costs more than their car? Dim?

Pretending to be 3 people when posting on internet forums.

Driving an Aygo which when you think about it is a bit like a Corsa.

AIUI being a chav is a complex thing, but it is mostly about attitude.
There is a look associated with being a chav, but looking like one doesnt make you one (though you are probably well on the way).
Tracksuits with one leg tucked into your white socks or women with scrape backs are sure signs.
It is the F U attitude that really makes a chav. The world owes them a living and they can live how they like. Anybody who questions them in any way is in for a tirade of abuse and possibly physical violence.
They have no respect for anyone or anything and that includes themselves.

hoods, baseball cap, shell suits, bling, and a dodgy moustache.
