Subject: RE: BS: 'NoTravellers'common UK sign?
I suspect that for all the hand wringing, most people would be active nimby campaigners if a traveller site was next door...

We used to have travellers move in and camp on the rugby club field next door, till they put up fences to keep out them, and members of the public. Much better neighbours than the rugby players in many ways. Not so much shouting and swearing at each other.

Why not just start a thread based on sanctimonious hypocrisy?

Maybe you should do that Musket...

.................................. None of us who actually live in the UK have seen one in the last 40 years. If they haven't seen them in 40 years they can't have been in enough pubs back then. But in the last ten years or so I don't think there've been many such notices in evidence. Which doesn't mean there aren't pubs which are still like that, just less openly.
