Subject: RE: Thirty foot trailer - meaning?
its a shame that more people are interested in traveller and romany songs, than being interested in the way travellers and romanies are still treated here in the uk, quite legally. simple example, i bought land, applied for planning permission for a mobile dwelling, it was refused, sold the land to a non romany, who did the same thing, he got permission. this happens time and time again, legal discrimination. no people, the romany life is not all romance and music. its a bloody hard life.
i love reading threads about romany songs and often have to chuckle at the replies, there is a difference between travellers tinkers and romanies, sadly though we all get tarred with the same brush. kushti bok, all.
