how ****ing funny/enlightening/gawdy/tacky/shocking/revealing was that...

felt a little sorry for the last lass.... 22 yrs old, quite fit and ended up with an empty reception and an ugly fella.

maybe i should adopt that way of life, then i, too, can drive around in an Audi A4, Range Rover or even a transit van!

where the buggery do they get the money from to afford such luxuries? i wonder....

"No mister, don't think you understand... We're tarmacing your drive mister... Cash is fine"

that bloke in the white Audi is a famous bare knuckle boxer, probably makes his cash from winning fights and betting on himself. I found it wierd, the girls have to obey really strict rules about boys and dating, yet they dress like, for want of a better word, prostitutes, don't get that at all...

Well to be honest I found the programme very entertaining and enlightening, and I think some of the people featured came over really well, obviously I won't start to comment on the actually wedding dresses and themes themselves, after all, some of them wouldn't be to everybodies taste.

ron jermey, I watched it first time round and that was pretty much the conclusion I came to.

Now I'm going off my rather uesless memory here but....

For a very insular sector of society I found it interesting that many of the women were petite and quite feminine were as the blokes were, for want of a better word, brutes. Wouldn't you expect there to be a greater degree of homogeneity between the two sexes?

It was amusing seeing the contrast between the men and the women.

They certainly seemed to fit the Irish traveller stereotype of beautiful, highly feminine women who looked mature for their age and flat faced, short arse men with faces like bulldogs licking piss off a cactus.

All of them shared a horrendous dress sense though, the women favouring the turn-of-the-century riverboat prostitute look and the men going for Tesco Value gangster.

The woman who actually made the dresses seemed to be doing quite well out of it all, even if she and no one else would actually discuss the monetary side of things, that said I wouldn't mind being sat in on one of the meetings when she has to explain to one of the would be brides that her dream dress is actually not possible too ludicrous to actually make.

RJ You reckon she ever said that to anyone... surely she just added another £10k to the price?!

Yeti, good point, after seeing what some of them were wearing, I think I am inclined to agree with you.

The show seems pretty bang on to be honest. I work just down the road from Crays Hill, and see travellers reasonably often.

When I was getting my hair cut at a nearby barbers, one older chap was just getting up to leave. When he went to pay, he pulled a massive wadge of £50 notes out of his jacket pocket ... must have been 3 or 4 grand at least. Fancy walking around Bas Vegas with that in your pocket 😯

my mate's nan lives about half a mile away. a nice little bungalow that years ago was probably worth a few pennies. now the area is blighted by loads of little shits on scramblers.

Pays the bills. 🙂

I've heard about trouble with the kiddies, though I haven't seen it myself.

Actually the only trouble I could attribute to them which I've seen was two older ladies having a bout of bare-knuckle boxing at a petrol station the other week. All the blokes got out of the range rovers but then just stood & watched the action! 😆
