I've visited Chav central, have you?

Discussion in 'UK Motorcycles' started by Mick Whittingham, Sep 11, 2007.

  1. Jane and I were dropping off some SCUBA tanks at an air station for a
    refill and decided as it was a nice day to carry on around the coast and
    ended up at Skegness.

    Now this place must have had its hay-day once.

    There are some beautiful old houses in the back roads, sort of, away
    from the centre of the front. But walking along the main drag and front
    was a case of wading through litter, fag ends and the leftovers of fast
    food. Stepping out of the way of groups of Chavs who own the right to
    walk six abreast in the middle of the pavement.

    I would guess at one in five of the teens I saw were carrying the
    results of last nights fight. Black eyes, grazed cheeks and knuckles.

    Asking a police officer (on second thoughts he may have been a community
    officer) where I could get some good sea food he directed me to a chippy
    across the road. When I said I was looking for Crab, Cockles, things
    like that he just looked blank and said couldn't help.

    Jane did buy a couple of Wasgij jigsaws in one shop. A selection were on
    the top shelf. The very helpful assistance was pleased to get them down
    and said they were up there because the clientele they get in wouldn't
    know what to do with them.

    The people politest and smartest in appearance sounded Polish in origin.

    Anyone else been there?

    Did I just get the place on a bad day?

    I went there several years ago for a stag do. It was abysmal, but just
    about became tollerable once we'd finished our 4 punt jugs of beer and
    full english breakfasts around 10 AM.

  6. The whole town is falling into the sea, the pier though appears to be
    still prospering.

    Keeping bits of it as a sort of nature reserve they are to save money
    shoring it up. I wandered past it earlier this year when the airshow
    was on. Half a raker or so of weeds and wildlife and such on the
    cliffs.

    I went out a while ago on a bank holiday. The girlfriend and I set off to
    the pub at about half eight, meaning everyone else had about 8 hours
    drinking on us. The only other people not puking back into their glasses
    were us and the Warsaw pact lot.

    That sets up a most entertaining resonance in your tits.

    You should do it more often.

    She can't kill me. I'm the only reliable hiccup core she has.

    I'd kill you but then who'd cure my hiccups?

    <grumbles> I've got a brain as well you know. Though that's a bit
    wobbly as well atm. </grumbles>

    Brain too wobbly to work out what that means. Someone peel me away
    from the computer and send me off to bed.

    We used to love 'Skeggie'. Coming from Doncaster it was one of the
    major holiday destinations when the pits were on their annual two weeks,
    but that's going back a few years ... ;)

    Went back about three years ago and you're right. It felt foreign and
    full of tension.

    Sea front pub, can't remember which, walked in with wife and two kids
    only for some chav to stand in front of me screaming for us to "**** off
    out of it". We walked out and haven't been back since. To the pub or
    Skegness.

    Mind, we still go to Mablethorpe for the Sand-Racing ... but couldn't go
    this year. :(
