Re: gypsies
When you've lived as long as I have think your opinion may just change a tad, especially if somebody has run of with the lead of your roof a couple of times and then moved on leaving a complete tip behind them to be cleaned up at the council tax payers expense, laddy or lassy whichever you are today

I'd blame it on the last labour government if I was you, during the Tory rule I had to sell the lead off my own roof!

Re: gypsies
well since my partner is a traveller I dont think I will change my mind actually.
hes never stole a thing in his life never had a criminal record and never even spoke to a police officer - and he works honest and hard every day and pays his taxes and everthing else as a normal person would.
before I met him I didnt think much of gypsys either but i didn't go around calling people I didnt even know!! but it goes to show you shouldnt tar people with the same brush...
plenty of scummy smack head thieves pedos and rapists in accy that are protestants or 'normal ' but we're not called those things so theres no need is there!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
nobodys perfect so if people cant be nice they should keep there opinions to theirselves!!

and if it was my grandma no my opnion would not change it would towards the person that did it but not against the rest of the innocent people just because of their culture.
majority of travellers are innocent - just as the majority of our lot are - and the majority of asians and so on and so on.
there is a small part in every community culture that is bad, that doesnt mean you should disregard the rest not unless you are willing to disregard all of your own too.
and i doubt your going to do that.

The problem is though, folk tend to remember their negative experiences rather vividly & should Gypsies be involved it's a forgone conclusion they'll all get associated. What a lot of people aren't aware of or choose not to differentiate is between the types of Gypsy, here in Germany we have Roma & Sinti & on occasion the Irish. The most readily accepted are the Sinti (and that grudgingly). I have had experiences both good & bad with the varying cultures within the framework of "Gypsies".
Some travellers have moved into houses on the lower end of Exchange St . Accy .
I asked a friend who lives amongst them about them .
He said that the local yobs who used to congregate at the corner of Exchange St and Fairfield St had disappeared since their arrival . He has no problems with them , and is pleased that they seem to be a deterrent to anti-social behaviour .

I am of the opinion, that treat others as you would like to be treated and for the most part people respond to that ethos in a positive way, but as with all communities there are always the bad apples. I have experience of gypsys and the ones i have dealt with have been honest and hardworking if that was within the tax and payments system we all use i dont know, but they paid their way in that they didnt get benefits etc.Their homes were immaculate and they kept the areas around their homes tidy.You can only take as you find as they say.
thank you for your support - i understand and think what you saying is correct. there is good in bad in everyone.
whilst some travvellers may travel and some be pulled at sites and others in houses. they are travellers because of their cultutre not whether they move about or not.
i just believe every individual deserves a chance no matter what race colour creed or culture.

Many many years ago, I sold cars for a living, one August in the mid 90's we had a Traveller/Gypsy come in to our showroom. He was in his mid 20's and decided to buy a £60,000.00 Mercedes Benz SL280. We had to de-badge it and replace the badges with SL600 and V12 decals.
The night before he collected it, he asked me to organise fitting his stereo (in those days Mercedes did not fit one as standard), I told him we would try and he brought in several large boxes containing Sub Woofer, speakers and the unit itself, being 4.40pm I told him that we could drop the head unit in, but if he wanted the rest he would have to do a deal with the mechanic, he offered him £20.00 to do the lot. Our mechanic politely declined, the customer was not very happy, I did mention if he was prepared to give our lad a few £100, then he would happily work into the night, the customer was amazed at that!
Anyway the next day he and his girlfriend arrive, very scruffily dressed, she in white high heels, and two Tesco Bags full of £10.00 notes.
Our accountant was not happy at having to count £59,000.00 cash, (he had left £1000.00 deposit in used £10.00 notes as well), still it was interesting.
The gentleman and his girl spent most of the day playing with the roof of the car and trying to persuade the mechanics to fit his stereo for nothing.
This guy and his fellow travellers, did not pay any taxes, everything was in cash. Interesting culture.

may I also comment that a few months ago the some travellers pulled up on their way back from appleby at church traffic lights. I think there were 3 or 4 trailers plus vans and cars.
It was interesting to see that when tey shifted there was not one piece of rubbish left or litter. and all their belongings had been taken, and their neatly bagged garbage was left with the car parts business at the side.
Very respectful I thought. And proves a lot of people wrong.
