Thread Name: BS: 'NoTravellers'common UK sign?
Subject: RE: BS: 'NoTravellers'common UK sign?
Given the length of this thread it would be surprising that no one posting here has reported seeing such a sign recently, if they were 'common'. I suspect we've all been in quite a few pubs.

As the disgusting scenes from Basildon during the Dale Farm evictions demonstrated, their is no shortage of prejudice and worse against Travellers, and the rash of TV entertainment about Big Fat Gypsy Weddings and such is reminiscent of the days of the Black and White MInstrel Show. But that's another matter from the absent pub notices - and one that is far more important.
