But the fair ain't what it was 20-30 years ago imo too many wannabes thinking there Gypsies and travellers acting daft spoiling it for genuine Romanys - travellers and normal everyday folk who want a day out to view the horses ' living wagons and attend the market ect. Its not the wannabees ffs its the pikeys that cause the trouble and grief. Ovbiously ... Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Bosun11 537 Posted June 8, 2018 Report Share Posted June 8, 2018 Maybe its just me but... It's just about the ONLY yearly event i've never wanted to go to. Seeing horses gripped by fear is not my idea of a day out.... Maybe its all propoganda BUT watching horses half drowning, petrified with fear, whilst being 'washed' (half drowned) in a f***ing river, is not really my bag. Nor some shirtless, crowing traveller youth kicking f**k out of a cob to show his prowess in riding bareback down the streets.... Can't wait to read the cruelty cases on here, because they always follow... Ain't my bag... Yep, i'm a hunter and i've killed just about every critter thats walked or ran over this fair land but its all had the best chance it can get, before it meets its demise, as humainly as possible for the greater good imo and i've never showcased it to anyone... But i've never 'pretended' in what i do either. So you can f**k right off with your cock crowing gypsy boys at Appleby.... It's all a big fat dick measuring contest to the detriment to the horses they are supposed to 'love'.... Nah... It's not for me....! I await the aftermath.... Quote Link to post Share on other sites

They are all over in most villages and towns around here' not a drop of Romany or Traveller blood in them ffs. Back in the day you were a Skinhead' A Mod ' A Scooter Boy ' A Biker ' A Poseur ect ect Now they all want to be Gypsys lol Nothing wrong with being into Horses ' but for ffs Stop putting on a Irish - Traveller accent ' it's embarressing. Never known anyone to put on a irish accent in my life lool maybe there diffrent up your way. Or your mistaken and they are travellers.... how do you know there putting on accents ? And not actually travellers ? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
lurcherman 887 13,095 Posted June 9, 2018 Report Share Posted June 9, 2018 I know irish travellers that speak pure english what would you call them? I also know travellers that to look at you would never guess in a million years was travellers. 95 percent of appleby are travellers.. one way or the other.. 1 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

THE STIFFMEISTER 15,773 Posted June 9, 2018 Report Share Posted June 9, 2018 Well said max it’s epidemic where I’m from checked shirt ? Big buckle ? More hair gel than a one direction concert? Discovery in pieces and an immaculate transit? Johmny cash and euro dance at full volume when driving round? Chick yjatblioks like a twiglet or a 90s backing dancer? Deal coke / do MMA / creatine arms and a religious half sleeve? You must see the east coast side of it, I see the West part these people are clowns 1 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
