So.. I was on BA 98 on Sunday in CW and there was a scurry of activity in the night as two people, together with bags were moved back to CW from F. Apparently there had been a 'fight' in F (I assume verbal) and the two passengers coming back didn't appear to be the aggressors (as the crew were doing everything they possibly could for them.)
Anyone have the gossip? Too many chavs with an AMEX voucher these days??

You don't really mean chavs, you mean working class.
At least get your language right if you are going to be offensive about a large swathe of the population.
Chav (/ˈtʃæv/ chav) is a pejorative epithet used in Britain to describe a particular stereotype.[1][2] The word was popularised in the first decade of the 21st century by the British mass media to refer to an anti-social youth subculture in the United Kingdom.[3] The Oxford English Dictionary defines "chav" as an informal British derogatory, meaning "a young lower-class person who displays brash and loutish behaviour and wears real or imitation designer clothes".[4] The derivative chavette has been used to refer to females,[5] and the adjectives "chavish" and "chavtastic" have been used in relation to items designed for or suitable for use by chavs.[6]

Current dress should be
baseball cap turned backwards
largest headphones possible (not plugged in) preferably endorsed by a rapper
vest/singlet/ wife beater with mildly offensive logo
stained tracky bottoms or ripped jeans, either of which should have the waist slightly below the cheeks of ones backside
striped jockey shorts
black high top trainers/baseball shoes with laces undone and flying around
this should ensure sufficient attention to warrant grade A DYKWIA moment
of course being drunk/high also helps

I think use of 'premium' street language also would add to the chav look. Repeated use of the word 'fam' at the end of everything said would complete the look

One day in the near future, just for fun. I'm going to walk in to the CCR dressed like that just to see how many dirty looks I get. It will make an excellent youtube video. Sandly I don't own any headphones other than the apple ones.

I think a baseball cap would have fully sent him off the deep end.

Many times I wonder what this is all about. Increasing the number of personal posts with utter nonsense or what?

It may surprise you, but guests dressed very much like that appear in the CCR on a regular(ish) basis. There are all sorts who go in there and mostly (unless they are a 'celebrity' or a 'DYKWIA') never get a second glance.
