I have a friend called mikey the pikey because he lives up to that name, unlike my wife who is irish descent and objects to the name of pikey. Anyway i hope you get your situation sorted soon, all the best!

Anyway i hope you get your situation sorted soon, all the best! Thank you, I must admit I don't like the word pikey either, and I have some Irish in me also although a fair way back. I appreciate your kind wishes, at the moment the situation just gets worse all the time but I'm sure a light will appear soon. At least I'm getting lots of time with our 8 month old grandson.

Well I've been a bit vague, partly because we're only here temporarily. I'll be a bit more specific when we have a more permanent home. are you a pikey? We've found a replacement for Clarkson I saw some pikey's, travelling thieves, sorry members of the travelling community at the weekend, two women jet black hair and orange faces, a bit like Essex girls but with less class walking about my local town in the afternoon with their dressing gowns on now WTF is that all about.

A band of these ethnic minority- free as a bird- travellers descended on our industrial estate a few months ago- blimey you could see the whole area go into lockdown! Totally unnecessary in my view I don't know why we assume these horrible stereotypes. I did get annoyed at Oscar99 appearing above us daily as they made sure our traveller friends got home ok with their latest "shopping"....

We probably assume these horrible sterotypes due to experience Paul. Travellers arrived at a recently built industrial park next to where I work and proceeded to block peoples gates etc denying access to their premises and the rumour is they had to be paid to go away. On another occasion a load of travellers arrived just outside my local town proceeded to create havoc in the town by going into the local Co-Op and putting their hands all over the meat which had to then be thrown out and was subsequently removed from bins by said travellers, they also went into a shop where my mate's wife worked and demanded to use the phone when she refused they verbally abused and threatened her. If people want respect then they have to earn it in my opinion and at the end of the day "traveller" is no more of an ethnic minority than biker is, it's a way of live not an ethnicity. When do people stop be travellers anyway, a lot of them now live in houses or STATIC caravans I can not say all so called "travellers" are bad but I have never personally had a positive experience of them and would be keen to see their tax returns considering the cars they drive and the money they can afford to spend on weddings.

I don't know if Clarkson could ever be replaced, although I can't stand the man myself. I'd not mind meeting Mr May though, maybe I will one day as a friend of mine has worked on some of his bikes. Although for some reason said friend always finds a way to stop me visiting his workshop which is some way from his home. I can understand some peoples feelings about travellers, I know of a few best avoided and I'm sure many have tales to tell about bad encounters.
