Apparently 400,000 people migrated from the United Kingdom last year, no doubt in search of a culture which can pitch itself above Big Brother and hoodies generally tarding things up. Many of you will know that I and other UK folk like to complain about chavs on here, so it's about time to illustrate them!

Quite simply - what the f**k.

Check out the guy who has his hands down his trousers for most of the video. Weird.

If your trying to escape bad government and rap "music", then don't move to the USA.

Yeah, but there are significant advantages to living in the US rather than the U.K.

While, yeah, the US generally has the same issue ... the US is A LOT bigger. Also, Canada is just a short drive away.

Oh, and computer parts are cheap here. Starting a business is easy too.


Blame it on Microsoft, God does.

I live in Michigan. Starting a business is easy, paying the taxes to keep it open is laughable. Lately, many many businesses have ether closed or moved out of state. But yes, living in the US can have it's advantages. (I'm just glad don't live in South America.)

I take it you mean South America the continent, since you capitalized the "S"?

Because America is so big, if you wanted to, you could get away from a lot of the "modern" disputes and troubles.

How many people who left turned around and went back after realizing the rest of the world is just as f**ked up?

True, but then again; if this the standard Louisiana experience then i don't know how fare I'm willing to go to get away.

omg, I knew that movie gave Louisiana a bad name, lol. That is certainly NOT the "standard" Louisiana experience. I'll admit, that there are still people way down south, ...and I mean WAY down south; far from me, that are quite like that. Needless to say, we leave 'em be. But Louisiana is just as civilized as the rest of the country. We have one of the best engineering schools in the country and our football team (LSU) is kicking butt this year! I'm not a football fan (American football anyway) but we aren't like that at all. I know you were kidding, I'm just setting things strait, I'm sure Finger could clarify as well.

yep, I currently live in the New Orleans area.
It is nothing like those movies portray. Most of us have our teeth,
and I, for one do not own a banjo or play with alligators.
Our politics aren't exactly civil sometimes, though.

No need to be defensive. You know i was kidding.
Besides, Michigan has Detroit, nuff said.

Australia is pretty good, just watch out for the dropbears. Although can't get a lot of things like fireworks, guns, airsoft or paintball without a lot of paperwork.



Reckless disregard for childrens well being, women and nothing but utter contempt for other cultures.

I think Crono hit it on the head. The problem is amplified here because of how small the place is. In the small towns and villages of continental Europe i'm fairly certain the roads alongside the cities arent clogged up with souped up hatchbacks and cider drinking thugs...

I wouldn't move to the USA, unless I lived on some ranch far away from the foibles of domestic politics. Europe has no jobs and is tied up by mayoral bureacracy, South America is full of lunatic socialists and cartels, Africa is well, anarchic at times and Asia is just bizarre.

Looks like plan C to live on a remote Scottish island is the one for me. Fishy might join me!

I think a small pond in Lolland would be a cool place to retire to.

This is a fact!

The deeper you go into the suburbs, the blacker the white kids get.

The reason why: When you see rapers on tv acting like thugs it looks glamorous. When you actually have to go to class with them and watch as they play dice and carve their names into the side of expensive machinery, (metal shop) while your doing your work, you don't see glamor any more. You see a grope of stupid, thugish, a** holes. And you don't idealise them, you loath them.

Canada isn't bad. If I could live anywhere though, it'd probably be New Zealand.
