Blackbriar 8,569 Posted September 24, 2017 Report Share Posted September 24, 2017 I know a fair few travellers, some are good friends some are c**ts much like all walks of life. The roaming chancers I don't like and neither do my settled traveler mates. Call me pedantic, but how can anyone be a "settled traveller".......?Fixed abode mateSo, in what way would you be a "traveller" ? Irish Travellers are recognised as a distinct ethnic group regardless of where they happen to live... Never mind all that ethnic bollox...... I'm being pedantic ! How can you be a traveller if you live in the same place ? Ive gone past a site for 10 years that I can remember.....same people, living in the same caravans/semi permanent chalets. In what way are they "travellers" ? They don't travel anywhere - apart from 2 weeks in Torremolinos every August..... 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

marshman 7,758 Posted September 25, 2017 Report Share Posted September 25, 2017 (edited) i haven't read any of the posts on this thread but I can imagine lol. All I say is this that some some of the baddest people I've met are travellers and some of the very best are travellers. I think even when travellers play by the rules ( I'm talking about me now ) I still get treated differently. That's why I don't tell people I'm a traveler. I like to fly under the radar and I like people to judge me for me and not who I am or how I live or how I speak or what choose to do as a sport .
