I keep hearing that there are some nasty traveller folk who get the good ones a bad name. Well, in 36 years, every group of travellers who have pitched up in our vicinity have been a shower of dirty, messy, unruly ba5tards.
I'm sceptical.
I'll also be careful here. I have lived about 1/2 a mile from a council traveller site for the last 12 years. Not a day gies by without some trouble, like the time group of teenagers rounded on my then 5 y.o. Son, or when they kicked my fences in, when they nicked the tree cutters chainsaw (the n a month later asked if we wanted our hedges cut), when they drove their motorbikes over my garden, when they put my window through....
Police are scared, so in my opinion (without wishing to upset the cry babies on STW) theycan **** right off. Dirty ****ing horrible pikey bastards.
(and that's me being careful)
careful, now sc-xc. You'll be accused of reading the DM at that rate.
You need to visit their site and ask about their history, they'll no doubt welcome you in and regale you with tales of life on the road and maybe sing you a traditional travellers song passed down through the generations.
Travellers? are they the thieving
pikey non tax paying scum who infest my village for our fair every year leaving crap everywhere fighting each other ,running crap horses at the locals and charging old ladies 100s to trim hedges which they dump in laybys?
As long as they are law abiding, pay tax and national insurance they can be lablelled what they want.
However from personal experience,they are none of these things!
And these racism toubled travellers have nicked two of my bikes!
i'll add to this post before my edit option vanishes, I had to attempt to integrate these things into my educational authority, it almost caused me to resign, It cant be done, these people cannot fit into a normal "respectful" society.
To my bosses - If you see this post, please do not sack me.
if you'd care to travel to gracie fields birthplace you ll find a council estate with at least whole street of council semis used by white irish travellers when there not travelling
I know what'll settle this, I'll quote from Wikipedia!
"An ethnic group (or ethnicity) is a group of people whose members identify with each other, through a common heritage, often consisting of a common language, a common culture (often including a shared religion) and an ideology that stresses common ancestry or endogamy.[1][2][3] Another definition is "...a highly biologically self-perpetuating group sharing an interest in a homeland connected with a specific geographical area, a common language and traditions, including food preferences, and a common religious faith".[4]
Members of an ethnic group are conscious of belonging to an ethnic group; moreover ethnic identity is further marked by the recognition from others of a group's distinctiveness."
Wikipedia votes yes, they are.
if wiki says it's so..it must be

You can't be serious? That's a US site, HTF does that relate to the UK? Have you actually read some of the bilge on Wikipedia?
So are paedophiles an ethnics group?
So given I'm 1/4 Irish, if I buy a caravan and park on somebody else's land can I reclassify myself as "white irish traveller"? Or do I also have to steal stuff and leave behind a mess when I leave?

Yes & Yes if my experience in these matters is the usual event
Are the English an ethnic group or just a shitty German sub group?

Is the concept of ethnicity different here than anywhere else?

According to that definition, no they aren't. What's your point caller?
I'm a traveller and I am law abiding. I pay tax and national insurance. I don't and never have I claimed any sort of benefits. I try not to make sweeping generalisations or call people names either.
travelers; yes. dirty thieving fly-tipping pikies who shit in the woods where i walk my dogs and leave a trail of filth wherever they go. no.
seriously, it's a maze of crap and bog paper. cretins

let me google that for you 😉
and off course 🙄
get of my land, or i blow ur ****ing head off.
I'm glad no-one has reported this thread (yet)
It's a very neat list of members attitudes and intelligence..
Whilst I fully understand the sentiment.. it's the application of objectivity that's most telling..
I vote we bump often and make this thread a sticky.. 😀

I'm sightly concerned that you feel you need a list
a bit too Oskar Schindler perhaps...?
Someone else kept a list or two around that time....
my granny did.. usually shopping lists I think..
for making nice cakes and tha'
I think we've done this now.
Sun's out - time to ride?
