Chav-free holidays

Great publicity for this company. http://www.activitiesabroad.com/ They sent their customers emails (http://adifferentvoice.wordpress.com/2009/01/20/activities-abroad-shame-on-you/) saying 'no chavs go on our holidays', adding that their customers were called things like 'Charles, James and Sarah', rather than 'Bianca, Chardonnay and Tiffany.

Their website is melting down due to the publicity

And it seems fair enough. People have different priorities depending on their background. No big deal. People who are educated middle class professionals tend to get on better with similar people, and people who are uneducated lager louts likewise.

    I haven't been on the flight, I've just seen the crowd at the gate.

    Katie Price don't sound like a chav according to thier email list then but we know different.

    Chelsea Davy sounds a right chav tbf, fake tan dyed blonde hair etc supports this theory, as does her p!$$head, dope smoking, allegedly anti-semite and racist squaddie of an ex-boyfriend.

    Meaninless thread, has generated some publicity for the company though.

    !!!!!! is all that about?
  • What about this . I wonder if the company would still be trading if they called it immigrant/ethnic free holidays . claiming ....... no Abdul`s , no Winston`s and no Krzysztof`s !!

    Clearly it`s discrimination against Chav`s ?

    I've been on that flight (it was a business trip, I hasten to add). Even the FAs seemed chavvy - they spent the whole flight gossiping, talking about their love lives and discussing nails and makeup. It actually worried me quite considerably as they seemed very young and immature and it makes you wonder what would happen if there was an emergency.
    A considerable number of the passengers spent most of the flight demanding alcohol - despite the fact that it was an overnight flight.
    On that trip, I flew into LA and out of Vegas - completely different flight experiences.
