Me too I'm looking forward to this
Well it's not through a steady 9-5 job that's for sure...;)
They only deal in cash! You need a forklift to lift their wallets. We have members of a "travelling" community in our village. Their grandparents settled here years ago and bought bits of land and lived in caravans. Then they went on to build bungalows.
I will say they are no trouble but when they have a party/wedding/funeral there is no expense spared. They all own large top of the range 4 x 4s, they have never had proper jobs, just deal in a bit of scrap AFAIK.
It does beat me though how they never seem to get visits from the tax man. Come to that, or the RSPCA because the way they keep some of their horses, if we did that they'd be here and punishing us.
Why would it make you feel good about yourself?
She married a lad from Ireland she had met about twice and kept crying on her wedding day because she thought she'd have to move to Ireland. I hope things worked out well for her. The other brides looked to be having the time of their lives and if it's what they want and are happy with it, then no one gets hurt.
Yes,we have quite a large traveller community here too,and I agree with you,although I did go to a wedding reception once that ended in almost total destruction of the pubs interior,due to a fight between two best friends over the way a security light was positioned:eek:(plus they are all on benefits too)
I remember her,I think they split up quite soon after,I really felt for her
Plus they aren't parasites Snapey999.
There are a lot of "travellers" around my village too, (although they now live on land that they own and have built bungalows that look like mobile homes ) but it is a vast rural and "greenfield" zone.
The "travellers" used to leave their horses - which pull the three wheeled totter carts that the men like to race up and down the main road at peak rush hour! :eek: :mad: :rolleyes: - on the open land and in that really hot summer three years ago, myself and a number of fellow village residents were really concerned about the horses that had been tethered in the middle of the fields without any shade or shelter or a drink of water
I 'phoned the RSPCA about them and got a really snotty woman who told me "that it had already been reported 100 times" but that the RSPCA "could not get involved as they couldn't trace the owners and neither could they remove the horses to a place of safety"!!!!!!! :eek: eh??!!
we all knew why really :rolleyes:
They are never short of money, large expensive vehicles and around 100 horses which they trade. I have to add that his family are nice, and have married outside the travelling community. He also added that his wedding venue was kept a secret until nearer the day - I did get an invite to the evening do but couldnt go as I was on holiday...I did hear it was a brilliant day.
hmmmm....................
Yep,its dejavu all over again!,and please dont get me started on those bloody carts up and down the main road(yes,peak time always),here they sometimes have a pair of them on the go,or they will have a transit that drives strategically behind them so you cant possibly overtake:mad:
In all fairness though,this is my only real complaint,they are perfectly friendly and one family are very good friends of mine,but as a general rule,living relatively close as we do,I dont leave anything in the garden unattended:)
They can afford it because even if they don't earn much they have minimal outgoings - they don't pay rent or have mortgages, they very unlikely pay income tax or national insurance or council tax, they only pay in gas and electricity whatever it takes to heat and light a caravan and I wouldn't mind betting that their cars aren't properly taxed or insured, they don't pay into pension schemes etc. etc.
So if they scrape together £1000 a month then the entirety of it is theirs to spend (or save.)
I'll take that as an apology then.
loved the one off last year and can't wait to see more dresses, will be interesting to see the communions, christenings and funerals aswell as more weddings.
What a mess the girls all look, why do they want to look so awful on such a special day?thise poor youngsters too, done up like JonBenét Ramsey.
I will be watching though, just to have a gawk.
