orionmojo Posted February 3, 2008 Author Report Posted February 3, 2008 my dad's in the haulage business, and you get all manner of idiots trying it on and the like. selling (expensive) rams, wheels, trucks themselves for cheaper than market prices. you can tell the good ones usually cos they've got a shite truck, and that means an honest living
DoireMan Posted February 3, 2008 Report Posted February 3, 2008 I know plenty of tinkers from years of boxing and whatnot, they tend to be aggressive people, and there are certainly bad ones out there, but as someone else said, it's the same for people that live in houses. There are plenty of dole sponding council estate dwelling chavs out there that would stab your granny if they thought there was a fiver in it. Some of you might be interested to hear that the origin of Irish travellers is from families that were forced off their land during the Irish "famine" by British balliffs, and have never settled since. Obviously this isn't the fault of living English people, but it's worth pointing out as historical trivia to perhaps put things in perspective.

X-pack-Glyn Posted February 3, 2008 Report Posted February 3, 2008 I was working in a yard repairing a fork truck when the lorries were backed in for loading, as fast as they were loading the lorries the pikeys had been and stollen all the front bumpers off all of em.... they also stole every drain cover (around 30 or so) on the entire trading estate inside 20 mins... the lengths they would go to you wouldnt believe... they now make roadsigns out of plastic as they used to nick all the ally roadsigns round here too.
BIGKEV Posted February 3, 2008 Report Posted February 3, 2008 I hate them all - there is some near me that take the piss. they even close off th eroad to have their stupid horse and cart races.... closing the a30 i mean come on. and fook off!! they are all pricks and they will always try to fook you over. I dont think they are clever they just have a - I dont give a fook attitude and that gives them almost a higher criminal status . SCUM!
