Deker 3,478 Posted March 2, 2023 Report Share Posted March 2, 2023 Had a whole load of them move into a large local hotel car park, and as the hotel residents left more caravans turned up. The hotel lost a fortune as paying guests didn't want to park in a gypsy enclave or stay next to a gypsy encampment! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

The days of them living up the lanes ect are long gone. They don’t give a shite for anyone else and no one gives a shite for them and that’s well expected considering their disgusting behaviour.

fireman 10,926 Posted March 2, 2023 Report Share Posted March 2, 2023 (edited) Was parked up near some irish over 30 years ago now and to say it was mental at times is no understatement, we had wars and some really funny times with a bit of human kindness towards other human beings chucked in. A few days after we had pulled on our site a few "lads " from the irish site started to drive through our site fast at night and were acting the cnut,the next day i went over to a trailer which had a fire outside and a few men folk around it and asked the old fella to have a word with the young lads about driving through the site like cnuts, the young lads were sat around the fire and the old fella looked at them and then looked at me and said " just whack em ,beat the fecking heads of the black guards if there doing that to your people" ,he then called them all out for it and made me a cup of tea . i ended up staying the rest of the day with them all around the fire and he had a coloured cob which he let my misses have a ride on,she was a very competent horse woman and the irish fella said to her "if you can ride him to your site Mandy,you can keep him and that's a promise ".ok she only had a rope head coller to control him with and the horse let her ride him off,but no matter how hard she tried to stop him and stear it to our site ,when that fella called his horse back it went to him...We lived by them for just under a year and got to know some of them really well and like i say we had some real funny times like when i got blagged into driving a couple of there woman to a jumble sale in a escort van,i shit you lot not there were about 6 woman and more than that kids that climbed into it and each and every one of the women felt in her duty to lean over from the back grab my face and give me a big old kiss for "being such a lovely fella", the one in the passenger seat felt it her total duty to cover my face in bright red lip stick and slobber and we set off. On arrival they unloaded like a dozen or more irish travelling woman and their kids can and headed into the village hall, i sat in the fecking van as i might have been daft taking them all,but i wasn't stupid enough to go into a jumble sale hall with them. Yes it did kick off in there over some pair of knickers for 30p or something and after a while of car park madness (i was quite enjoying the whole day as it goes and laughing about it all) they all loaded up with half the jumble sale,on the way back we passed a motor bike copper who clocked us and span around and followed us,i was sort of praying he would pull us as i would have stopped as the way them woman were talking about him they'd have fecking leathered him at the side of the road but i think he thought better of it when he saw some many faces at the back windows...Some times they were and them lads did get whacked a few times and lost a few motors as well, but when we had a young lass drown it was there kids who raised the alarm (they saved her 8 year old brother from dying as well) there site paid total respect in each and every way to the man woman and child... Sorry for going on but could write a book about that year of my life and that's my lorry i had at the time and that's one of the irish kids,Jerry Berry and he had 2 cousins called Tom and Jerry Berry, feck everything was mental about them folk even their names...

Qbgrey 4,097 Posted March 2, 2023 Report Share Posted March 2, 2023 (edited) The difference between the Irish and English lads is the Irish will only befriend/ be nice/ pay you on time to later try one of thier spins on you. They do it in restaurants, they go in and behave a few times, pay up . then a few months/ weeks later loads go in , eat lobster, steak etc then slip hair/ glass/ plastic in food and don’t pay.

No mate but knew a few folk who did live there , i do have to say although at times it was hard and life could have been so much easier in "town" as such i wouldn't swap those days for anything. I'm 57 years old next week a and i have to work maybe harder than i should at my age due to me sort of living my life backwards and doing what i wanted in my earlier days rather than getting a mortage etc etc, but like i said i have memories that i find hard to believe at times and they make me smile, regrets??,who ain't got a few but not from me for the way i chose to live on the road ..It's never to late to get a truck or camper and go live a bit mate,even if it's weekends getting out there and getting some head space is so important for healthy living both in body and mind.... 5 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

You get those that steal ,sell drugs girls prostituting them selves and cnuts robbing houses etc etc to the point some places are no go areas . Some family's sit on benefits and never work a day in there life unless it's peddling drugs or other types of crime . so are all house dwelling people scum ? No of course not so maybe people shouldn't tarnish every one the same because few bad apples .
