I was told by a student on Tuesday that the derivation is Cheltenham
Average, where Cheltenham really means Cheltenham Ladies' College. I don't
expect they have flashing lights there, though. And this derivation is at
odds with some associations in media usage (yes, indeed, Essex girl and
white van and some article of clothing whose name has slipped my mind).
Thanks to another student in the same group, I offer you the ChavScum
website ('A User's Guide to Britain's New Ruling Class': www.chvscum.co.uk.
I think you will find that all your questions - and more - will be answered
there.
