[QUOTE="ollie989898, post: 7498366, member: 54866"] Hold up. There are a few true Romany people around, there are a couple about in this part of the world but you seldom see them in the same place within a 12 month span. The one couple you will see around here locally have a wagon/sheppard hut type thing and a horse and make a living selling crafty stuff by the roadside. I happened to speak to one whilst the wife was in the garden centre nearby so I took the kids to see the horse. Very nice people. Never cause any harm, never stop on private property or cause any nuisance. The only way you could tell they had been there was where the verge had been nipped down by the horse. They cause no complaint and if one happened to setup camp in the village on the verge I would not be concerned in the slightest. The council could in fact designate pitches on highway verges etc and offer to collect their domestic waste as the bin men pass on the way by. These sort of folks are clearly not travellers in the usual sense. If this kind of people were more prevalent I'd have no issue with it whatsoever and I believe most of this forum would agree. I don't know if the Romany do any agricultural work, it would not surprise me if they got involved with the apple harvest. It is an increasingly rare way of life unfortunately. [/QUOTE]
