The Great Big Chav Megathread... ALL discussion of Chavs here.

[vidster]

I'll soon be fitting it in the entrance hallway to our house.

Does anybody know where i can buy the burbery trim to finish it off?

I'm doing the same. My idea is that if I have different coloured planks it might look like burberry.

Laminate flooring (2005) = Lino (1985)

 

All fake, all ripped up/covered up 10 years later.

 

Not really chav related.

I think it goes quite well with Dado rails, to make the whole place look extremely cheap and nasty.

 

Am I the only person on here that hates laminate flooring? I don't expect it to last very long at all, as someone has already mentioned, In 10 years time carpets will be the new lino.

something Chavs are particularly keen on. Apparently its de rigueur now in Chez Chav.

 

Just because Chav's (yes, let's skip the meaning, just assume 'person you do not approve of') like laminate floors doesn't mean that everyone else should shun them forever.

 

I think that a new rule should be passed that every new thread with 'chav' in it should be moved to a 'special' forum for trolls.

Does this mean, if more than one person likes the same kind of thing, it becomes Chav?

 

Chavs like computers...

[Cyclone]

so far given the number of people that have it (who i don't think are chavs), i'd say that no it is not a 'chav' phenomenon.

 

Afterall, chav's have houses, does that make a house a chav phenomenon? I don't think so.

 

Laminate flooring is a lot nicer than lino. It might not last longer than 5 or 10 years, but then neither does a carpet, and it doesn't cost any more than a carpet so why should that be a problem?

 

Obviously I have some laminate, since i'm defending it. The study is laminate as it seemed to make more sense in a room that is office like, and it makes it easy to clean.

I'd have preferred real wood, but it does cost a lot more. Might still have real wood in the dining room, not entirely happy with the tiles.

I have to say I hate laminate flooring, it's the way it tries to be something soft, warm and natural but just ends-up looking like lino.

 

I've got nothing against people who like it though, same as I've nothing against people who like artex or woodchip wallpaper.

 

I got some very nice real wood tiles from that cheapo DIY place at the bottom of Granvill Road, it took ages to lay them and varnish them but they look realy good.

Laminate flooring looks nothing like lino. Or do you mean it looks like vinyl flooring. Linoleum is very expensive to buy and to get fitted as it has to be done by a specialist. Lino is probably more expensive than the 'average' carpet that people have fitted in their homes
