I have for years have a large percentage of them call in my business. And to be honest 90% of them are ok, all big spenders. We have had the same familys coming for years. The very odd few can be rude, but one of my staff doesn't suffer fools gladly and puts them in there place. Naturally I have the crack with a few over coursing and such things.  I wouldn't want them round my house, but I take em as I find them and most are ok , spend there dollar and I can chew the fat with them and av a laugh.

 

And yeah Dido I've read the same book. On The Cobbles by Jimmy Stockin 

 

me old lady says the same mate back 60s 70s it was different they would travel down from all over bottom of the country to the top park outside on the street all ways clean only people paying in 50 pound notes and all had impeccable manners me old man would have them in the house down were he kept his dogs never any worry of them returning on the sly and none did

Obviously there is good and bad in all walks in life. But the majority of travelers I meet are fine . I’ve had a 2 different lots in this morning. Spent there money and were polite . Only had one incident in years and that was a one off. A load of young travellers came inn and ordered a load of stuff and refused to pay and walked out giving the young girl a load of abuse and left her in tears . But this is one incident in 20 years and too be honest could just as easily of been a different race of people.
