It's the Germans who get the Turks Dave, we get the rest like those from North Africa and the Middle East :O(

Unlike the tinkers it's not their caravans parked along the road, it's their a$$e$, waiting for the next convenient lorry :O)

Honestly not wanting to stir things up,this is a geniune enquiry;did they ever catch that young traveller who killed the horse in the river at Appleby last year?

More to the point, Dave, did they even look?

Hi LB.

A mate of mine tried to tell me that the Irish tinkers (call them what you will) had been kicked out of their own country by their government.

In my view they are welcome in their own country - as long as they abide by the laws of the land.

Since Eire tightened up their laws on travellers they've decided to come over here where the laws are as slack as a my granny's knicker elastic.

I'd certainly hope so,Angus.The papers were full of pictures of the idiot. Somebody must have known who he was.

Dave

 

[Lord Braykewynde]

The only ones who would recognise him from the pics in the papers are the travellers themselves. Don't expect them to grass each other up but more to the point they wouldn't buy a paper anyway because they can't read :O)

A sarcastic moderator!!

 

[Gail_5040396]

Yes they did convict him, it was in our local paper. But then again a poor defenceless animal was involved.

 

[davedee]

Thanks for that Gail. I don't suppose you recall what punishment he got,if any,do you?

Dave

Hi Dave

I was a bit angry that nothing could be done when my son was shot at, but they seemed to make a great deal of effort with this one. It was on our local paper, he was jailed for 42 days.

Gail

 

[davedee]

Well that's probably more than I expected!

Thanks Gail.

Dave

Well its only ten days later and we now have another case not too far from me thats been reported in todays evening news, the article is below.

A PENSIONER was left with a broken arm after a thief stole his car and caravan. Rodney Rew, 70, was thrown across the road and left in agony as he prepared to go on holiday.

He was attaching his

Five years hard labour will suffice when he's caught. If that doesn't cure him double it to 10. If he still insists in his evil ways double it again to 20.

Total that up and that so far is 35 years the cretin is removed from our streets and society. In 35 years he could cause a lot of heartache :O)

Chop his hand off, and then his feet if he can't cure his bad habits

You were very lucky indeed. I have read David's input and would say that we have an active HomeWatch scheme in our village. In the close where I live there are 16 homes, and we all keep a watchful eye on every one's property. I am the co-ordinator for the close. So really you can say that I and my neighbours are 'nosy neighbours', for which I am thankful, especially when I am away with the 'van. Many of us have the keys to each other's property as well.

The topic of these scum bags really gets my blood boiling, is it me or are they just popping up everywhere? We are in west yokshire and they are always returning to our old pit site and setting up camp leaving all their horrible mess when they leave, me and my other half went walking down the site after they had gone and the rubbish they left behind was horrendous, they even left a dead labradour puppy on top of some rubbish. I work in a school and some of the traveller kids have been attending. I just cant understand why they keep getting away with it something seriously needs to be done, we have to pay for site fees and council tax and everything else why shouldnt they!!!!! Sorry for ranting.
