marshman 7,758 Posted July 5, 2013 Report Share Posted July 5, 2013 How many times do you ever hear of this type of hassle with Romany gypsy people?.......it's always the Irish i couldn't tell the difference between the two, both inbred with a love of mullets and a fear or washing are they not? Well, in truth you aint that far off with your inbred comment as they are marrying from within a fairly small pool of people to start with, but probably no more inbred than any remote rural village where the same old families have lived there for generations...........as for the mullet, well I agree that they do look a f*****g state cutting about with those silly haircuts but from what I have seen, again its mainly the Irish tinkers and yes some of those are dirty b*****ds. But as a rule, I would say that you dont get hassle with Roma or Show people and there are a fair few good Irish lads that have strong Roma connections........its just most of the aggro is from these Irish tinkers who call themselves gypsys but they are not ! we have a few who pass by here every summer, the proper old type with wagons and horses, really nice people, there family who have vans and caravans often stop with them for a few days again people who i would trust 100%, years ago my eldest lad had been out all night and was walking home very early one morning, pushing his bike as it had a puncture, they called him over and fixed his puncture, they even gave him a bacon and egg sarnie and a mug of tea, carnt say many householders would have done the same. I must agree on the comment above.... some country folk, country men, horse men etc call themselves gypsys when they are not. I no off a few fellas round this way who live in a house pay tax has a proper job etc etc, but when it comes to Appleby time off year, they get there wagons out and join the proper travellers and calm to be travellers themselves.just because these people live in houses and pay taxes and try and fit in does not mean they're not gypsys. If your born a gypsy you'll always be one no matter what abode you choose to live in ! 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I don't understand are you saying their gorgers that like going to Appleby in wagons or are you saying that they're gypsys and because they live in houses and only go once a year that like to go Appleby that they're not Lol I'm confused.

Appleby is going down hill it used to be alot better , now the police are just out looking to cause upset as it easy arrests and it well known travellers get the bigger sentences. The people used to embrace us up there now the pubs and shops have signs saying no entry to non locals, I used to always go sell a few of our horses and my dad used to fix other people's wagons. We don't travel by wagon any more due to the police fining us for the horses. Diesel vans don't shit as much as horses haha we just go by trailers now Quote Link to post Share on other sites

fitchet 788 Posted July 5, 2013 Report Share Posted July 5, 2013 Real travellers don't brag or show off what they are. We had some near us a couple of days ago nothing went missing and they didn't leave any rubbish. I know some traveling boys that I wouldn't spit on if they were on fire but I also have some real good friends who are traveling lads. Good in bad in all walks of life. And as for them bieng dirty ive seen some disgusting houses but I've never seen a dirty trailer owned by a traveler they are sparkling. I've felt bad for going in for a cup of tea after a night out a few times and I've always been welcomed into there homes even when covered in mud/blood/fur. They aint all bad and most of those who slag them off wouldn't walk on the nearest camp and say it to there faces ..... 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
