Ghetto Tours

[ChavWivaLawDegree]

After all the segregationist stuff and ignorance of 'the other', I decided I should start up a new tour operator called 'Ghetto Tours'.

I promise to get you a family to stay with in the most rundown, ghettoised areas of the world so you can experience the poverty and life threatening danger for yourselves for only ?1500 per week plus flights.

Each family will be specially selected to make sure they don't nick all your stuff while you are sleeping, but will be hard enough to stop you getting mugged every time you step out of the front door.

Destinations include:

a council estate in Birkenhead

Central Kingston, Jamaica

Mission district, San Fransisco

Aylsbury Estate

More destination soon to come.

The tour operator does not accept responsibility for loss of or damage to any personal property or if you get your head kicked in or shot.

Mission district? Thats so much more like lord ship lane than the others. If i moved to bay area mission is where i would live. Valencia st here i come

[RosieH]

Hah! I love Sean that your reference point is San Fran and mine Birkenhead. I actually know some people from Birkenhead. Do you think that qualifies me to bounce in ED? I think I could scare off those Bromley riff raff.

The North West holds no mystique for me CWALD,but i'll sign up for Jamaica

20 mins on Chav Pride for free sounds better value

Hey - I didn't spot mission....cool as fuck I spent a few days there 3 years ago, I agree with Sean it's a bit more like Shoreditch I'd say

[SeanMacGabhann]

Good shout that ????

Thinking about it tho...3 years ago hmmm? Maybe we HAVE had a dink together already ....

Perfect Chavlette,

Where is Brixton in all this? I insist that a 20 minute number 3 bus trip through machete central be offered at a cost of only ?1 on an Oyster card (plus ?350 for an armed body guard).

[ChavWivaLawDegree]

Brixton is so passe.

I've sent my chavettes out to find host families in the most ghetto areas of the world, so don't worry thrill seekers, you will not be disapointed!

CWALD is making a good point, though. I know plenty of people who take holidays abroad where they enjoy the noise, exotic food and smells of markets but avoid places like Electric Avenue. Often think that when I'm cycling to Brixton tube.

[Brendan]

May I suggest central Johannesburg CWALD, or perhaps Nairobi?

[david_carnell]

Someones beaten you to it Chav

[Keef]

Birkenhead isn't too bad, I could never really see what all the fuss was about... Lagos anyone?

[giggirl]

I'd also like to big up Mission - it rocks! Count me in.

There are NO ghettoes in the UK. It might suit the wannabe gangsters to say so, or Paul Ince, but like it or not, our country's most deprived areas do not compare with the terribly poor and more dangerous counterparts in the US. The UK has a safety net in the shape of universal health care, better gun crime statistics and more involved policing. Comparing Moss Side to parts of Chicago is a non-starter. Listening to people talk about ghettoes in Britain is laughable and sad at the same time.
