The weddings are a bit OTT, but I admire the way they take care of their own, its true what one said, they could survive in any country. Once ended up in the back of a van with 12 gypsys, one wanted to fight me for £50 :xxangry-smiley-038: didn't fancy my chances, not while he was holding an axe handle :icon_lol:

they make out they have high morals, don't sleep around, no divorce, many marry their first b/f and they don't cause trouble..

:D what were the young gals wearing - no sex :icon_lol:

some 'travellers' stopped on a field on a council estate near me, it was nice playing field b4 they stopped on it, within days the council had got a court order to remove them (i think the local yobs influenced them to move to - next day there was a burnt out caravan) but the mess they left be hind, it was like a tip and a war zone :cwm23: it must have cost £1,000s of tax payers money to clear it up :doh

As I recall, :rolleyes: there was once a 'tinkers' encampment' on the northern perimeter of Perth. Subsequently, the then Town Council reclaimed the land, and NOW ... some 40-odd years later ... it is the site of a large Industrial Estate.

Traveller girl was about to get married so her mother decided to give her daughter some essential marriage tips.

The mother said "you know on your wedding night your new husband will want to put his most prized possession in where you wee".

The daughter replied "how on earth is he gonna get his Transit van into the sink?" :icon_lol:

There are many different types of travellers Florge hard to generalise traditionaly they buy and sell vehicles,horses and scrap metals and pick seasonal crops apples potatoes etc they dont generaly buy houses but own their caravans so their cost are less than people who are static.

Regarding taxes only the unavoidable ones bit like the rest of us:icon_lol:

[Gavanddal]

If only they were just nice travelling folk picking seasonal crops but they're not.

I've only bad experiences of them.

1. They stole a hovercraft off me which was found by police in one of their camps hidden under a pile of pallets.

2. Whilst running a European hovercraft race meeting, pikies kept loitering outside the side entrance trying to blag their way on-site, possibly to head up an invasion of caravans. This site had previously been invaded by them and it cost the owners, RMC £40,000 in court and clean up costs.
It was very intimidating for the people manning the gate.

3. I once bought 2 TVs off a pikie which turned out to be non-operational. More fool me!

4. They invaded my local station car park. As I live in a commuter town for London, this car park is very busy during the week. They took up most of the car park and commuters were not prepared tgo leave their cars all day in the small remaining area. Accordingly they had to find alternative parking.
The mess left behind filled 5 skips and too a team of Council workers a whole day to clear up.

They drive expensive cars because the don't declare any income for tax, they steal and probably don't even insure their vehicles.

And then they try and claim that any objection to them is racist? Since when did thieving scum become a race?

It's very easy to generalise most of their income is derived from illegal activites mainly stealing and conning particularly from elderly/vulnerable people

[keithAngel]

It's very easy to generalise

I would agree with that:xxgrinning--00xx3:
