They say they have a case of 5 only ... left over from some Hollywood 'do'.
Anyway, you draw out £200 and buy one - it's a fake of course ... the ones which are £10 each in Dubia
Some people were taken in!

I welcome that interpretation of the law. Why the hell should they be able to park just where they like and make a disgusting mess of the whole area?
Those who live there and pay their taxes etc. without ripping off our benefits system have got human rights too. Its a matter of balance of course.

I dissagree. I think they behave well in our area and they put all their rubbish in bin bags for collection. They also provide a service that many want to pay for - clearing gardens, driveways etc. If people didn't want that service then they wouldn't be here as they wouldn't make any money. All the cars/vans are taxed and insured as that's the first thing that police check. They want to send their children to school as well.
What's the problem - leave them alone.

They'd be nicking everything in sight if they were.
Another plague on society that needs to be driven out.

oh my , where do you live mate ? will have to find out so every other pykie **** can take a leaf out of their book
any time i have seen them located any where they have left the site thats not even theirs in a right state . All the hedges they trim all the rubbish the collect all gets left when they up sticks and move .
Also the most disgusting thing is that they obviously dont have porta loos and they just find a corner to do their business.
not the type of community you want on your door step IMO

I think you're all being a little unfair, apart from Floyd. I've lived in a caravan for seventeen years now and travel around England with my family, we've got a total of eight caravans on the go and it's a great feeling of camaradery when we up sticks and move to a different site. We always try to leave the sites tidy but that isn't always possible, imagine how it must be with nineteen kids in all and twelve dogs, it ain't easy cleaning up after that lot let me tell you, so if we leave the odd bin bag around well hey, live with it, we have to. I also think it's unfair to say that we steal all the time, that's crap, we only steal when we have to and if the government gave us more money (which we're entitled to), we wouldn't have to steal, ever looked at it that way? Thought not. Bloody one sided opinions on this BBS.

Your use of the English language and sentence construction makes it quite clear you are not a "traveller".

I am a traveller liaison officer. I work for the local council so I know what I'm talking about. The travellers really are trying hard to clean up their act these days an it's negative comments like these, which upset all their good work.
I know that private house owners who actually 'fly tip' and then blame it on the travelling community, which they seem to dislike so aggressively. Talk about being hypocritical.
Without the travelling community we would have a real problem with finding skilled ground workers so all the roads would be too poor to drive your precious Subarus on. Think on that.

Used to obtain possession orders to move them on.
Amazing when we turned up with the Bailiffs how the wheels had 'disappeared off the caravans and it would be impossible for them to move '.Surprising how quickly the wheels reappeared when the tow truck started revving up.
Oh,yes there were always nice deposits of stuff left.No ,they were not tidy or respectful of the property they had occupied either.
Nothing like the Flake girl at all

Why don't we all just club together and do a "Brick Top"* on them all. It's not like anyone would actually miss any of them is it?
* Reference to the film ******. Brick Top, an "unhinged, pig-feeding gangster", wishes to make Mickey the pikey fight, and Mickey a little reluctant to do so. Brick Top's inventive and pleasing idea is to set fire to the caravan that Mickey's mum inhabits. With her still inside. This has the effect of persuading Mickey to fight, or face further smouldering remains
And on this note: "I ****ing hate pikeys"
