- - gypsys (https://www.accringtonweb.com/forum/f123/gypsys-32483.html)

This sounds like a load of balderdash.

If you construct permanent structures on a site, such as 'two large utility blocks', how can you be classed as being a traveller?

You aren't going to get very far if you attach them to the towbar of your 4 x 4.

When you've lived as long as I have think your opinion may just change a tad, especially if somebody has run of with the lead of your roof a couple of times and then moved on leaving a complete tip behind them to be cleaned up at the council tax payers expense, laddy or lassy whichever you are today:rolleyes:

hes never stole a thing in his life never had a criminal record and never even spoke to a police officer - and he works honest and hard every day and pays his taxes and everthing else as a normal person would.

before I met him I didnt think much of gypsys either but i didn't go around calling people I didnt even know!! but it goes to show you shouldnt tar people with the same brush...

plenty of scummy smack head thieves pedos and rapists in accy that are protestants or 'normal ' but we're not called those things so theres no need is there!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!

nobodys perfect so if people cant be nice they should keep there opinions to theirselves!!

and if it was my grandma no my opnion would not change it would towards the person that did it but not against the rest of the innocent people just because of their culture.

majority of travellers are innocent - just as the majority of our lot are - and the majority of asians and so on and so on.

there is a small part in every community culture that is bad, that doesnt mean you should disregard the rest not unless you are willing to disregard all of your own too.

and i doubt your going to do that.

now let me ask you this, if they did that to your grandma would you still have the same opionion????? and finally we are all equal and deserve too reap the rewards of what we pay into the local councill(council tax) these roaming rats pay nothing !!! if they did then east accy would have one or two extra facilities to enjoy?? so untill these roamers start to obey law and order, and show respect to the great people off accrington, i say lets all rally as one and throw the lot out !!!

The problem is though, folk tend to remember their negative experiences rather vividly & should Gypsies be involved it's a forgone conclusion they'll all get associated. What a lot of people aren't aware of or choose not to differentiate is between the types of Gypsy, here in Germany we have Roma & Sinti & on occasion the Irish. The most readily accepted are the Sinti (and that grudgingly). I have had experiences both good & bad with the varying cultures within the framework of "Gypsies".

Some travellers have moved into houses on the lower end of Exchange St . Accy .

I asked a friend who lives amongst them about them .

He said that the local yobs who used to congregate at the corner of Exchange St and Fairfield St had disappeared since their arrival . He has no problems with them , and is pleased that they seem to be a deterrent to anti-social behaviour .

I am of the opinion, that treat others as you would like to be treated and for the most part people respond to that ethos in a positive way, but as with all communities there are always the bad apples. I have experience of gypsys and the ones i have dealt with have been honest and hardworking if that was within the tax and payments system we all use i dont know, but they paid their way in that they didnt get benefits etc.Their homes were immaculate and they kept the areas around their homes tidy.You can only take as you find as they say.:)
