Subject: RE: Stolen Caravans and Instuments
They are gypsies, but in most cases they are not true gypsies in the old fashioned sense. These are people who go from place to place, offering to do sub standard manual jobs for householders, like garden clearance or resurfacing driveways. They don't do a good job, they overcharge, and they dump the resulting rubbish in laybys and public open space rather than pay to use the dump. There is a tendency for other peoples property to disappear when they do. They give real gipsies a bad name. Giok
