well, this depends on the area and the neighbors. Trust me, when I've done it, it's because it was serious.
in the case of chris' neighbors, these are clearly insane people who think it's ok to get violent. and that's the reason there are police.
There's clearly a misunderstanding of the good 'ol British Chav here, as our non-UK posters haven't had the priviledge of seeing chavs in their natural environment.
For all the non-UK people here, you're more than welcome in the UK for a Chav safari. Maybe take some photos as souveniers?
You can spot a chav by the following checklist:
Males:
1) Burberry baseball caps
2) Chunky and tasteless gold jewellery, sovereign rings etc
3) Track suits
4) White Reebok / Addidas trainers
5) Heavily modified 15 year old Ford Sierra / Escort or Vauxhall Cavalier with fibreglass body add ons, sometimes only painted in primer. Usually fitted with a sound system ten times the value of the car and probably stolen.
Females:
1) Track suits
2) Denim skirts and white shoes / trainers
3) A brood of dissimilar looking, badly behaved children all called "Wayne"
4) Badly dyed blonde hair
5) Screaming "Waaaaaayne, shaddup!" at said children.
