Tesco

The gypsies are "travellers" who camp anywhere and everywhere and leave the place looking like a waste tip

I forgot to say that I am in Yorkshire so Tesco somehow got from London to Yorkshire, I assume that the "gypsies" brought him to Yorkshire and he escaped and found me.

I also forgot to say his real name was Shankley.

Are the gypsies like the 'real' travelors? The group who swindles people. We have them in our country, they are a group of Irish, and they are called the travelors. They roam across the country in groups conning and stealing. They are like a big gang or mafia broken up into sects across the US.

yes that is a good description of them and yes they are mostly Irish.

I've seen a bunch of news shows about them.

I know some travelling people, none of them are Irish & none of them are crooks.

In Scotland we had a group of Albanians doing very similar things,

Not all travellers are crooks we have met many very nice people on the road we also have a permanent gypsy site next to us and they are the first people to offer any help if they see people in need. They are extremely good with their animals too.

as i am a 'gypsy' as u put it we r NOT all con artists or bad people
it's the same for every religien/culture/belifes.....
there is gud + bad every where.
and also there is a difference between 'gypsies' and 'travallers'
'gypsies' are about there belifes etc ......
'travallers' on the other hand are different ie: leave rubbish at previous camps, conning people etc........
so please understand the differences between the 2 before making asumptions. (please)
i'm not avin ago or any thing but as i explaind there is a difference.............. (oh and us lot arn't all irish)

many thanx, stafford :smt023

we had gypsies (or travellers if thats what they are called) near where i lived. They always found new places to camp and left rubbish everywhere. One day on the way to school the little half dressed kids tried to pick pocket me and were stealing stuff from the shops.

don't quote me on this 1 but that sounds typical of travallers.
scruffy, conning/robbing + and have no concerns about their childrens welbeing makes me soooooooo mad

Stafford, I`m also a Gypsy but English and hate it when people think of us as irish. I dont con people and leave rubbish where ever I go. I agree, not all Travellers and Gypsies are the same....irish, English, new age....
We all have different ways of living. Just thanks for saying that , I nearly never looked at it .
