WILF 46,712 Posted July 8, 2013 Report Share Posted July 8, 2013 (edited) I'm a showmen and my family has strong ties to gypsys I've spent a lot of time with them and some of my family have married them I have cousins that are gypsys I get on really well with some but I have to say that percent are just trouble and I have yet to meet a Irish one that didnt just take libertys but they tend to look down on fairgrounds and showmen we don't really mix so that might influence how they react to meWho looks down on showmen mate? The Irish or Gypsy boys ? As I have never found that to be the case in my life ?........you couldn't put a fag paper between most showmen and Romany Gypsys they are pretty much the same, you could spot them a mile off in a crowd of people.......so I have been told Edited July 8, 2013 by WILF Quote Link to post Share on other sites

paulus 26 Posted July 9, 2013 Report Share Posted July 9, 2013 Far to much hear say and third hand information flying about, just make your own minds up the same as you would about anyone else you meet in life Quote Link to post Share on other sites
satan80 358 Posted July 9, 2013 Report Share Posted July 9, 2013 Met a few travellers through boxing, even fought a couple, they've all been hard as nails, once got a right hiding sparring a 14 year old skinny little thing when i was 20, every time i hit him he just snarled and charged at me again, i haven't dared to say a bad word about them since Don't think it's fair to generalise a whole community, agree that that some can act like divs, but i know plenty of white british idiots too, but it's always easier to slag off a minority group.... 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

BIG G wheton machine 1,594 Posted July 9, 2013 Report Share Posted July 9, 2013 goldfinch you and a few seem to be the minority in a minority, them programmes on the other nights don't do yous any justice with the feuding and the tarmac rip offs, but fair play to you for taking the abuse and taking sense. in a way your trying to show us that yas arnt all assholes. although the ones ive had dealings with all were. why don't the decent ones take a stand and say enough is enough and show the better side of things and start bringing the baduns into line and promote yourselves in a better light. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Astral 253 Posted July 9, 2013 Report Share Posted July 9, 2013 It boils down to people in my opinion. A twat will be a twat and is a twat. Irrelevant of culture lifestyle or race, in my opinion. I have a few traveller mates from my rave days who I consider some of my closest friends, but then I've met a couple who have been utter shites, just like I've met people at work who have been shites, on the bus, in the bank etc. Tarring all with the same brush will just create more problems, if you're constantly being told you're a thriving p***y b*****d by nearly everyone around you. After enough time, you'll get fed up trying to prove them wrong. What's the point if they think that about you anyway? People should just be judged on themselves as a person without any other factor coming into it. I know not everyone will agree with me, but as I said its just how I tick personally, I make up my mind about people from their present actions and judge them on that. 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
