Kiffy Posted September 19, 2011 Share Posted September 19, 2011 I never met a Traveller who was anything other than a scumbag (or at least doing a good impression of one), and that makes me feel guilty to say as I know that it cant be them all, just I have had bad experiences with them. I dont want to view them all based on the impressions given by a few, but its hard sometimes to avoid that feeling. Â Not sure what the point of this post is really. Â Funny thing there is, ya probably have met lots of travellers who weren't scumbags. Thing is they don't tend to wear t-shirts saying "I'm a pikey me, be ready to judge." Unless you specifically asked if they lived in a caravan, they probably wouldn't tell you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Â Â Yeah maybe I have, maybe its more fair then to say all the ones who I have met and known to be travellers. Â Oh, I just remembered that there actually was one. One from when I worked at Pizza Hut, his table tried to do a runner and he came back and paid the bill himself and apologised for the others. Â Not that it matters, I fully believe that people should be judged on what they do, not what their background/race/religion/nationality/whatever is.

The pizza hut thing kinda makes the point as well, how many times did you serve a table who may well have been made up of travellers but you had no idea that's what they were? Like I said, they don't wear uniforms. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kiffy Posted September 19, 2011 Share Posted September 19, 2011 Boo, another delay due to an injunction. The tension is killing me. Â I know they did get refused planning permission (cos the scrap metal works they took over was on green belt land, and you can't build on green belt land unless somebody gives you permission to do so) but are you really hoping they get moved on? They currently live on land they own, and have bought outright, have kids going to the local schools, and are probably getting up to less mischeif where they are than they would be if they got moved on. You read private eye, you know how often planning permission goalposts are moved to ensure big business gets to keep making big money. Would it not be nice to see, just for once, the rules bent to help people who could really use it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
