    This is the difference isn't it. The likes of Gypsy Leeboy get tarnished with the ones who cause trouble and leave places a tip.

    Nice to have you here Lee.

    Hi john. i wish it wasn't true fella' but unfortunately yes' i have to agree with you' that there are some stupid people who leave a mess or start up a barny in a pub and all that'
    and theirs no one who gets more upset about this than the vast majority of decent Romany Gypsy people who might live across from you' or on a site near the town but just keep to them self's and get on with every one'.

    but the trouble is that it doesn't take many bad people to do some bad things to start a stereo type?'

    i would think that any one that's from liverpool will be a bit fed up with hearing bad jokes and bad stereo types about any one from liverpool?'.

    the best songwriters in the world came from liverpool' and it was the city of culture' and along with newcastle and glasgow i think that the people are the most homely and desent people you could ever meet'' yet how many times have you heard the same old rubbish about steeling head butting and track sutes?. allthough i take that last bit back if your wearing a track sute .


    .when i was a boy and we were shifting from town to town' and if i was to as much as drop an empty crisp packet on the ground and not pick it up when told' i would get a crack up the lug for my trouble!
    and the same was true if i got into a fight'. i would be more scared of my dad finding out that i had been in a fight than i was of the fight '

    i think its down to a bad up bringing if you either steel' start trouble or make a mess' . i have travelled all over the country and this is a problem in every community' and does need to be dealt with.
    but the police are to busy putting up speed camera's to do any thing about it '.
    im not realy into polatics or any PC stuff' i just think that every one should get along but i do agree with ya fella' all the best pall' Lboy

    Hi Lee Boy no i don,t have horses but have always had an iinterest in Travellin people. We used to go to Barnaby Horse fair in N Yorks years ago and i think there is one near Seamer N Yorks. I remember when a kid the Gypsy ladies used to come round at Hull Fair time selling those chrysanthemums were they made of paper or wood cannot remember ? Do any of your people live in the Vardo,s now or not ?Also loved the series on the TV again long time ago recounting the story of the Boswell family it was real interesting.

    Best Wishes Caterina.

    I've always liked them but when I heard they were homophobic it saddened me and put me off them.

    hi caterina' nearly all my family are living in vardo's but mostly on sites '
    i have mine at the back of the house' its allways handy when i get itchy feet ' i have only lived in a house for about 3 or 4 years' .
    i like living in a vardo' but i have got to admit that i am getting a bit used to the comforts of a house '

    i would have liked to have seen that program? can you remember the name or the channel it was on so i can google it?''

    hope your keeping well' stay lucky' Lboy
