    I went for a contract at the BoE and they called me to ask my racial ethnicity, they turned me down because they need a black contractor to make up their positive discrimination numbers

      You should have said one of your grandparents was a Traveller as that would have trumped saying you were Black.

      After all people who claim they are Travellers, are educated and now live in houses are extremely rare.

      (And yes I do know someone.)

        I know a fair few living in the town I do and often bump into them at the strangest locations (outside the tea rooms in Harrods was the last memorable occasion). Unfortunately I didn't think straight when I filled in the forms when the girls first went to school.

        They should all be at Appleby at the moment so don't claim to be one this week as it won't wash.
        merely at clientco for the entertainment
