As i was leaving the house this morning caravans started parking up in a car park behind my house. This variant of traveller has some basic fairground equipment with them. Are they a likely to be more lawful in their ways to the tarmac'ing bunch?

Hopefully they fk off soon. Maybe once they have robbed a few too many local houses?

Always found the fairground travellers to be lovely, if a bit antiquated. Certainly not the same as the dirty tarmac knackers, who I wouldn't trust with a stty rag.

Usually fairground people are either on a site booked with the landowner (eg council) when they are working or at their storage compound - I think they are a better class of caravan dwellers than the tarmacers!

Yes, fairground travellers are almost always a superb bunch of folks. The other nomadic caravanning community, not so much.

Yep this is correct. I know a few and this fits the bill spot on.

This has a little something to do with it:-

Not very keen on any of their group who cause issues for those who actually try to live in harmony with the rest of the Country and tend to come down quite hard on them according to a member i was talking to a few months back.

In their own words though "Every barrel has a few bad apples, some have more than the average though..."

I remember being about 14 or 15 years old when a small fairground was near to home. The look of shock one day when my mum came home to find me sitting in the kitchen with one of them drinking coffee was priceless. He looked like slash of Guns n Roses!

We used to help out on the dodgems for free rides. They offered to pay us if we helped take it down at the end of their stay which was hard work through the night. In the early morning they refused to pay us, so we slipped under and robbed the coconut shy of gonks and liquorice allsorts!

Ask people in the area of Epsom Downs around the time of the Derby when a fairground rocks up....

I would have thought the last thing women folk would stand for when going on holiday is to spend more time in a caravan

My farmer friend had them pitch up on his land,so he just said be off by 5 am tomorrow. Nothing more said. Needless to say they were parked up still the next day ..... then out came the slurry spreader. Looked amazing, all the nice wagons covered in a layer of pig excrement.

The travellers got their revenge by setting their dogs on his sheep, but never returned.

They then moved to the local town and went in the supermarket and pissed in the deep freezes. The food got thrown in the bins and they simply pulled it out knowing it was all wrapped up inside. They followed this antic up by threatening the local chippy that if they didn’t get free food they would put his windows in.

What do you do when people are this out of control? I know my answer and I don’t read the Grauniad.

Fixed her quote it should have read

Denise, 59, said the travel(lers) company they’d booked through had called saying they had received a letter addressed to them to say Butlin’s had cancelled the holiday.

Also she lost both her mother and brother within 10 months..... Now that is just bloody carelesssness

[andymc]

ive just watched them on police interceptors where he ditched the car at the camp and they all came out kicking off, he was well over the limit with a baby in the car when he took chase, another gypo sneaked into the car when the police weren't looking and hid the baby

Phil and Denise O’Hara booked the break to the popular holiday company’s Bognor Regis resort with 26 family and friends to celebrate their ruby wedding anniversary on New Year’s Eve.

A very lucky escape then.

Great idea for weeding them out and restricting their fun.

If only everyone could do the same so their fun is curtailed. Let's make their life no fun. They become persona non grata everywhere. Locked out of everywhere/everything. Make life difficult. They stop, straight there and move them on. Dip their fuel tanks, red = confiscate and crush. Human excrement, environmental health called to check on their facilities. If they are found to be 'dumping' human waste + fine (payable on the spot) and a cease and desist order.

The laws are all there. The officials are all employed as are the law enforcement officials. They just need the balls to do it.

Three generations of the notorious Cutler family live as outlaws in the green and pleasant Gloucestershire countryside. They spend their time hunting, thieving and tormenting the police in the heart of Britain’s richest neighbourhood.
