Default Gypsies/travellers-experiences

My view has always been people can be lovely whatever their background.

Got to say though,whenever I have crossed one of the above,never been a good experience.

Whar the heck happened to their morals??

it's hard to get past them on a motorway as its two carriage way horse things racing with a ford transit at the back stopping you getting past them

Don't be intimidated or bullied by them, they are only human and bleed as anyone else, I only treat others as they treat me... be a gentleman or a nasty evil meathead I let them decide who they want to meet... I really don't mind either way, I have come across many travellers with no problems at all

there's no come back if they do something to you or your property, the Police can never find them and they always seen to have an army of friends.

Eh? That's like some ridiculous playground comeback? In answer to your 'question' though.....they may very well do, but then I work hard, pay taxes, don't go robbing everyone's stuff they've worked hard for and generally making people's lives a misery wherever I decide to 'set-up' home, so you could call it a personality clash.

The police authorities are a waste of time my COSH "control of substances hazardous to health" is much more effective.....

Subtitles are not correct.

He's saying "you're making" as opposed to Jamaican.

They've just trashed a local village playing field near me which is going to cost thousands to clear up. Earlier in the year, they set up shop on a school field which caused the school to be closed along with the damage they caused. Police did nothing, it seems to me they are untouchable.

I bet if I parked a caravan on a school field, I'd be locked up within hours, so what's the difference?

Hare coursing is a bloodsport where dogs are used to chase, turn, and catch and kill hares and large amounts of money are gambled on the results. It is illegal in England, Scotland, Wales, and Northern Ireland (but note that it is still legal in Ireland).

Hare coursers are violent criminals and give no consideration to landowners’ property and crops. They often have a sophisticated information network and they invariably know about vulnerable properties in the area, short cuts, and escape routes.

Hare coursing activity rises in late summer once fields have been harvested (ie when hare numbers are still high and the dogs have wide, unobstructed areas to run across).

Had lots of run in's with them, never a good one. Always obnoxious, violent behaviour.


Some people are only alive because it's illegal to kill them.
