Parishioner Eric Shipton comes to the rescue of David Quantick with this from the Penguin Dictionary of Historical Slang: "chav(v)y. A child: Parlary: from ca 1860. Ex Romany chavo or chavi."
So it's not based on the place name Chatham as claimed by Metro today, and is on a par with pikey, which ought to be grouped with any other cultural or racial nickname really.

Lordy, tickets for the Cure Passport gig are currently at 770 quid on Ebay - only 100 quid for the Darkness Passport gig, and plenty more coming up for the Leas Cliff Hall gig, maybe we'll all get in after all.

Over to you, discussion about anything local, but please be considerate... Folkestone on TV, Kent gigs, Find a flatmate, rent a room, property queries, current news, what's new, local events, for sale, local services, what I like about Folkestone, ask questions, offer advice, plug yourself... the more it's used the more useful a resource it will become. If you want a gig listed click here to add it (fixed now!), or just click here to post a message...
