Nationality, religion and such are personal IDs, being called something like tramp, hobo or whatever, by folk who don't know your story is a different thing altogether...ah'm no' dancin' wi you next time 8)

we can all have differences of opinion, mind years ago me and a mate were taking a trailer full of rubbish to the cowp, before we had barely stopped a load of kids were climbing on the trailer to salvage the scrap metal. they did ask if they could take it, to what i replied "well you are going to take it out the skips anyway, so fire in and save me unloading". The kids unloaded the trailer sorting the crap from the scrap before getting a broom and sweeping out the trailer. I offered a quid as a thankyou to the gangly leader, he refused saying that they got their booty and a wee sweepie up was the least they could do

Plus being a caravanner myself I do come across travellers on sites, they have massive rigs, most are alright, did laugh once as I was putting my wheel clamp and hitchlock on a big irish bloke who made me look anorexic said "dont worry with that, your van is only worth a couple of grand, we wont steal it" aye cheers bigyin
