People People settle please.

I have no personal grudge or gripe with the travelling community. I believe their traditions and ways of life are something for preservation, and reflecting on my opening statement, this was not clearly obvious, however, here is my point.

We have, for the past 8 weeks been host to a large settlement of travellers, whom in their short stay, ripped up garden fences, vandalised local property, brought disrepute to any pubs into wich they were let, intimadated residents, filled and left their unofficial campsite with rubbish, complete with burnt out cars and christ knows what else for the local council to clean up.

To see such a settlement moved on is a BIG relif for the local residents, and it is this that incited me to start this thread with a view to having a lighthearted laugh now they have gone

My summary therefore is this:
The older traveler generation were a race to welcome, respect and admire, for their stories, songs, art and crafts bought much vibrancy to communities in a bygone era, but todays generation seem to forget this (admitedly not all of them) And think the world and everything in it is theirs for whatever purpose, and sod everbody else.

And to our "anon GUEST" above if you can't agree with me, you may kndly go F**K OFF yourself, go crawl under a stone and die where you may remember what your name, real or supposeatary is. If you do agree, all well and good,lets all be friends!, I'm just replying to you as you replied to me
