Anyone who has holidayed in the resorts of Magaluf, Falikari and Benidorm, will have either felt at home with the Burberry brigade, or wanted to run a mile.

For many holidaymakers, chavs don’t paint the best picture of Brits abroad with their cheap tracksuits, antisocial behaviour and binge-drinking.

That’s maybe why www.activitiesabroad.com are winning customers by promoting “chav-free holidays.”

Earlier this year, the holiday company ran into some problems discriminating against its customers.  It claimed in an email, that after scouring its database, no one with the names “Dwayne”, “Wayne,” “Chardonnay” or “Bianca” had booked with them, making their holidays strictly a “chav-free zone” and even signing-off the email with the line: “nuff said, innit?”
Sparking controversy, the company’s MD was forced to face the media.  Standing up for the middle classes, he was quoted to have said, “Everybody else in our society seems to take from us whether it is incompetent bankers or the shell-suited urchins who haunt our street corners.”

Just as well then that Hotelopia offers everyone, even “chavs” the opportunity to book a break away, even if your name is Shazer or Kay-Tee.    “Nuff said, innit?”
