GUEST,jimmyt BS: 'NoTravellers'common UK sign? (366* d) RE: BS: 'NoTravellers'common UK sign? 29 Aug 12


Well, I have to say in 1997, I took my wife and daughters to England, and we hired a car at Gatwick and proceeded toward Stow on the Wold where we had reservations in a B and B. Somewhere in Oxfordshire we decided to stop for lunch in a pub in some village I don't remember, and saw the sign on the door. "No Travellers"   I have to say since i am from US I was totally confused by this, not familiar to the term. I stepped in and asked if they were serving lunch and the Barman said yes, the sign referred to "Gypsies". I remember this is the first (and last ) time I ordered Steak and Kidney pie, an "acquired" taste. This is absolutely a fact. jimmyt
