Jim,
You defend the signs by saying tehy are not common

That is not defending them, and it is a fact that they are not common.

Dave said he had only ever in his whole life seen a "travellers welcome" sign (on a pub) and never a "no travellers" sign.

Here he also says that you are "racist" and plain stupid.

I can honestly say that I have heard of such things but only ever seen the exact reverse. On the door of the 'Morning Star', Wardley, some 20-30 years back there was a big sign saying 'Travellers Welcome'! There was a temporary camp on the 'Moss' at the side of the Star and the landlord made so much cash during the time it was there he managed to retire early!

All anecdotal and personal experience of couse and, therefore, completely invalid in this so called argument.

What is neither anecdotal nor personal to me is the obvious fact that someone here is a racist. Anyone who can tar the whole Brotish nation as racist based on the acts of a small mimority is applying th every stereotypes he reckons he is so against.

Ironic? No. Just plain stupid.
