Chav Britain

Post by Billy Balfour » Thu Dec 29, 2022 8:04 pm

Grown adults shove children out the way to get £1.99 Prime drinks at Aldi

Queues of shoppers trying to buy Prime drinks at Aldi descended into ‘absolute carnage’ this morning.

Adults were filmed pushing and shoving children – some as young as seven – and jumping over shelves to get their hands on bottles, which have a booming resale market on Amazon and eBay.

Social media really has turned us into a society of brainwashed morons.

I suppose this makes a change from fighting over cheap supermarket no-badge TVs in Black Friday sales.

Tbf I think people queuing all night for the latest iPhone are sad enough, but I can see a little bit of logic to it. Aren't these people just queuing and fighting over a bit of coconut flavoured water? Just because it's being pushed by a certain YouTuber.

I think this is an own goal for Aldi. For years they have been trying to throw off the 'low rent' supermarket tag. Spent millions to enhance their image in a largely successful attempt to appeal to the more affluent shopper as well as those who shop on a tight budget.

World’s gone mad. I heard the other day about a bloke who sells his farts on Only Fans (whatever that is) and is raking in a 6 figure annual income from it! Might give it a go myself…

Oh, and Britain can’t be “chav” as technically to be a chav you have to come from Cheltenham

*Chatham.

Most likely etymology is from the Romani “chavi” meaning male child, though.
