A very quick post until time allows later. The Gypsy Council titles were used by Hughie Smith quite correctly, and by Charlie Smith as the Gypsy Council of Great Britain and Ireland. The whole thing ended up in court and Hughie lost. Mally and I retreated from the fallout. I too have horror stories of the John Major days. I found the older generation sometimes resistant to literacy. Mally offered to teach two young lasses to read so they could pursue their dream of hairdressing shop. Their father refused. He did not want to make them wiser than himself. More later for sure.
