Disagree. Whenever they grace our locale, things start disappearing, except that is, for the mountain of crud and filth that remains when they depart.

I think he was being sarcastic!

What has always amazed me is why HMRC doesn't seem to pay too much interest in people who don't pay tax but can spend tens or hundreds of thousands of pounds to buy land, not to mention carvans/static homes, cars, weddings....

If they just called them people, we'd get all confused, and maybe think that they were people... like us
What happened to calling them tinkers. I thought travellers were more like drop-outs and alternative lifestylers

Got any scrap mate.

Is what I get at least 3 or 4 times a week.

What really gets me is as they are stood in the workshop they are looking round for stuff to take even though you have said no.

There is one that we deal with that gives a good price for batteries and cat's etc but the rest just seem want to steal stuff.

My 2p.
