darrren 414 Posted May 27, 2017 Report Share Posted May 27, 2017 Alright gents. Just after a bit of opinions. Appleby in two weeks, ad me my missus and sister wanted to go for years so i decided we should go up together. I'm keen to see the bowtops, horses, and have a mooch about he markets. Just wondering what its like for us gorgers as we are known, is it many non traveller visitors? Don't want to be set upon by twenty blokes just for visiting lol. Cheers gents.

pesky1972 5,270 Posted May 27, 2017 Report Share Posted May 27, 2017 If you get any shit, just make a dvd on Youchoob threatening to dig up and do unspeakable things to a corpse. That should guarantee there'll be no fighting. ? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

jukel123 8,023 Posted May 27, 2017 Report Share Posted May 27, 2017 I usually go. The gypsies are vastly outnumbered by visitors. I've never seen any trouble. It would be more likely family feuds between gypsies if trouble did break out. It's a good day out for all the family. No reason not to go mate. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Jonjon79 13,358 Posted May 27, 2017 Report Share Posted May 27, 2017 Go along and have a nice time mate - your money's as good as any one else's We used to go to the fair in the park every summer back home - that was owned and run by gypsies. They policed it themselves and It was always a really good night Quote Link to post Share on other sites
