so why are they called pikeys? do they get offended at the term? what is the story behind the bit about involving a dog in every deal? are they really as dangerous as the movie made them out to be?

 

 

i guess if you got on the wrong side of one it could be nasty :icon_eek: .

 

a mate of ours is a traveller and he is as sound as they come our door is always open to him

The word p***y is offensive because in my experience it is used as a name for someone who was a gypsy/traveller but did something pretty bad an has been disowned from the gypsy/traveller community.

My family are true romany gypsies. My nan was born at ledbury and lived and travelled all over in a bowtop with the horses doing hop picking.

I live on a site by worcester in a trailer and thats the way of life we love. Snatch is slightly far fetched but only a bit. Most irish travellers have got permenent sites they live on in statics and tourers abd go travelling in the summer or when kids are off school and find work along the way.

 

Its just in your blood. Your either a gorger or a mush. Simple as that!

i have to disagree with you there mate i have travelers as freinds and they have done way more for me than i have ever done for them and never asked for anything in return . if i ever need anything they are only a phone call away 24/7 to me that is a very good friend indeed no matter what the backround :victory:

I think the romany travellers have always been seen in a different light to 'travellers' now. I know a few & mostly they are ok, couple as dodgy as they come but then I know others just the same.

We have 3 come up for scrap, they got a brand spanking new transit, told them scrap price must be good & he said ' good what you can get on finance these days luv' we had a laff about that as well. But they always know we leave stuff out the front- if we havent they put a card in letter box for us.

Live & let live- they know I help with rescue & missing dogs. I know they sometimes know about the missing dogs, but so do the druggies waiting for 'reward' posters going up

I had a family of travellers as friends when I was a lot younger- they had different way but we had a laugh & spent many hours together. She had more freedom than me but her mam was scarier than mine & rules that had to be obeyed- they were old romany's as well.

In my mind there just thieving scum not ever to be trusted, I no that there not all like that, but it is in them to steal. They don't pay taxes, f**k up fields ware they camp leaving behind all their shit and we have to pay for it. You can paint a rosey picture of them if you like, but to me there just hedge shitters.
