Chavs??

Hi guys, haven't been able to see this yet but I'm doing a project on the depiction of Chavs in films and my friend says he can't remember if there's one in this film or a different film, so just asking if there are any characters that are depicted in the stereotypical manner of what we would call a 'Chav' etc?

If not, do you know any of any British films that deal with such characters, besides Kidulthood/Adulthood etc?

Thanks.

Sort of, Oliver's friend Chips is portrayed that way (at least in Oliver's mind he is chavy, he speaks about it near the end).

Take a look at Shane Meadows films as well as Alan Clarke too.

Please define "chav". Thank you.
