We were threatened with a curse at the door by a peg-selling person once. My mother being who she is said, 'Go on then but you have no power in heaven or on earth to curse me!' Peg-selling person turned tail looking slightly terrified at the words. Maybe this is the best tactic.

Spotted a load of caravans down by Bidston station as I passed on the train on Monday...must be doing the rounds...

I used to be tolerant of travellers until I saw the state they left the Red Noses at New Brighton in back in 1992ish. They even had running battles with the police when asked to leave. According to the Globe when they were in Moreton they hurled rocks at a car causing it to crash, killing one of the occupants whilst screaming "burn you b*****d burn" whilst it was on fire. The council had the sense back then to leave shipping containers on all the main roads into New Brighton to block the travellers entry if need be.

well i can be that, i've been cursed 3 times!

yep i've seen her,big woman, not dyin of starvation!

yer what she said

too easy to tar people with the same brush where travellers are concerned

I wouldn't let my daughter marry one!

Its the same with everyone / everything, there are just a few that give the rest a bad name.

What gets me though, is when they get a plot of land, the so called "travellers" build little chalets to live in

...they then complain when they get ripped down as they didnt have planning permission. Sorry, but rules for perminant UK residents also apply to "travellers".

This may help.

A curse and a six pack of peggs! Give me a traveller as a next door neighbour anytime rather than the piece of good English stock I have to put up with,I know they are "only an anexample" rather than the rule.We should apply the same reasoning to all and take people as we find them. Stop making travellers look like a bunch of MPs

yes Give me a traveller as a next door neighbour to, we've got an ASBO family next door, who make shameless look like heaven.

Why?

Blocking up public car parks, leaving their mess behind them, dodging tax but at the same time costing tax payers money.

Rough, dirty, intimidating.

What's not to like eh?

Are we talking about taxi drivers now

Very good!

On a serious note, these travellers are practically lawless.

I witnessed an RCA a couple of weeks ago over in Liverpool. Horrible little gypsys jump out and run off after causing what was a serious accident.

The bloke they hit was dazed and confused. I chased them, and took a picture of them for the police and in the process was threatened with knee capping and my car being trashed.

Police turn up and when I mention they sounded like gypsies and pointed in the direction they were running, the police inform me there's a big camp on Oil Street and a large traveller funeral taking place.

Good news I say, here's the picture, go and get them.

No point is the response, car not insured, taxed, no MOT.

He told me he has turned up looking for a "John Smith" before with a search warrant, only for 20 of the horrible little fuckers to come forward.

They don't exist in the system, no record of birth, no National Insurance, just a horrible spot on society that nobody can get rid of and they do exactly what they want and know exactly this.
