umm I think you have to have MS Excel installed, also if you get a box for username an password, just enter any details, i guess thats just so it can save your results.

35% for me with the the following footnote:


You have a whiff of dog blanket about you and your shoes need to be resoled. You enjoy garden centres and eating out at country pubs. Your quite well known at the local KwikFit and think nothing of sticking a Bart Simpson doll to your rear seat window. You have often enjoyed a curry or kebab after a night down the pub and have used a doorway as a public toilet. It is likely that you have been arrested for a minor offence and count George Best as an idol. You are likely to have been educated to A Level standard.

10% as I always get the hotel freebies!!! I do have polyester and I do leave my washing out for too long.

I like that phrase Pikey, I'm going to use it at least once a day now.

That's not an accurate test. It didn't include the following foolproof Pikey indicators:

Have you ever driven off from a petrol station without paying (known as a Pikey Pitstop)

Have you ever left a half burnt mattress by the side of the road

Have you ever knocked on someone's door on the pretence of asking to do any odd jobs, while your kids jump the back fence and nick stuff while the home owner is distracted

33% though as a student I find some of those essential!

my pikeyness rating fell to 33% after a bottle of wine!

I obviously need to drink more to become less pikey - pass me a bottle of Blue Nun!

25% Pikey :P

"You are definately entering the danger zone here. You have owned at sometime in your life a pet fish won from a funfair. You regularly buy Superdrug’s own brand toiletries but ensure you carry them home in a Clinique carrier bag. You have a number of gold cards and a run a respectable enough car, however, you would do well to remove the “Baby on Board” sticker from the back. You enjoy good food and wine courtesy of Delia Smith’s home cookery course and have been to University. "

The one that made me laugh was "have you ever bought a cigarette of someone". To me that defines the word 'pikey'.

18% but I protest at the "Do you know anyone from Penge?" question!!!

I'm originally from from S.E. London so of course I know someone from Penge.... I bet nobody on here had even heard of it!

It's another name for gypsy, minus the windswept, romantic aspect of the word.

eg Brad Pitt in the movie Snatch

Hi,

23% Pikey.

Pikey was a term used to describe a tramp or gypsy. It comes from the term Piker which was used to discribe tramps we travelled, on foot, along turnpikes. These were toll roads which had barriers thatwere made of pikes or sharpened poles at the entrance. It was also used to describe cowards, thefts, low lifes, cheats, etc.

The term developed into stereotyping the underclass of society. These people are also known as Chavs, Townies, kappa Slappers, Ratboys etc.

The term has taken off as it was featured in the film 'Snatch'

Here's a link to see how 'chav' you are. (http://www.chavscum.co.uk/)
