Chavtowns

My sister has spotted a website called Chavtowns, where people mention a town they think is full of chavs.
Now apparently the name chav is an old gypsy term, but recently it seems to have taken off as a form of abuse towards a certain group of people. For example, the character of Vicky Pollard in the BBC Comedy series 'Little Britain' is referred to as a Chav!
Stevenage and Letchworth have been put forward, and Hitchin has been mentioned as a 'posh' chavtown.
Thankfully though, Baldock hasn't been mentioned, which was somewhat of a relief!
