low foreheads
i can't quite justify this one,so i'm not going to try.but i've met many,many people in my time and the biggest difference i can find between the 'upper-crust' (hahaha,ever read any de Sade?They get up to worse than the peasants) and the 'chavs' is a certain shape of the forehead.I don't wish to sound like a racial classifyer,but there may well be good grounds for identifying 'chavs' by their forehead size.Male and female alike have the kind of foreheads that i've only ever seen in the National Geographic supplement on early hominids.
Am I wrong?Has it always been this way?I'd like to know.someone tell me!

EDIT: i didn't realise this sounded like phrenology until someone pointed it out.i'm not being racist,or accusing chavs of having criminal tendencies,i just wondered if it was something to do with inbreeding.or whatever.i was only pointing out something i noticed.or didn't.maybe i was looking for it.i need to go back to bed.good boo.

A lot of people used to think that.

It may just be
that they all have their greasy mass of hair in a fringe over the top third of their forehead.

whilst the upper crust
tend to have upper teeth that are angled back into their mouth - e.g. Zara Phillips

Fcukpig,
I've been saying the same thing for years.
Low foreheads and squinty eyes.

As far as I can see it has zero to do with race, as all the people fitting the above description whose pleasure I've ever had do not fit in to any distict racial category.

It is just an odd coincidence that from what I've seen here, the 'chav classes'* are more likely to look bung in the aforementioned way than the working, middle or upper classes.

* "Chav classes" are distinct from the "working classes" by their lack of "working."

I must admit...
I have noticed that such individuals tend to have all oddly shaped heads. Not all of them of course, but quite a few.

Would the shape you're talking about
look anything like this, perchance?

well, they kinda work against evolution...
an example of the breed can be found here, whereas an example of Neanderthal man can be found here

Note that both have the low forehead with heavy brow ridge. The vacant expression and mouth hanging open are possibly just coincidence.

Yes, in-breeding in the aristocracy many generations ago produced genetic defects such as haemophilia, but the in-breeding seen in the chav population actually seems to have reversed the evolutionary process.

Wow.
