There's a permanent Gypsy settlement on the outskirts of Grantham - I've actually asked around to find out if there is any trouble between them and the people in town - I haven't discovered any yet. They appear to keep themselves to themselves.

There were about 5 caravans just outside my village till recently, and they'd been there for several months. The chaps used to come down into the village for a pint from time to time - we had a great sing one evening. One of them, Joe, was telling me he doesn't like his two small children mixing with townie kids, as the townies are cheeky and rude and have no respect. He's right, you know.

When they left, you'd never know they'd been - the verge was immaculate.

Like I said before - there's good and bad everywhere.
