Big Fat Gypsy Wedding - I'm confused

I remember that - they published an apology in the next issue and the strip never appeared again. Apparently one of the Viz blokes had his car stolen. Not by gypsies though, of course.

As I remember it, the person who made the complaint against Viz was head of some Romany group and he was subsequently convicted of stealing a carpet which Viz picked up on and published.

Wonder why some venues won't accept their parties, must be discrimination.

Can't be because they all get lager-ed up and start fights?

Liked the strip probably need to book in for re-education.

Remember seeing a village in Ireland which had a large number of rather nice homes that were owned by tinkers, but were unoccupied for a lot of time as they were out on the road.

Think it was Rathkeale in Limerick

It's exactly that reason.

Basically gypos will turn up from everywhere. They pay in cash, your gaff gets smashed to pieces and then they **** off.

Neighbour is a copper and he says they hate it when they have a party because the police turn up and there is nothing they can do. They're instructed not to arrest anyone for anything small because it turns into a riot And then whnen they bugger off they don't know who it was.

Not sure about tailors, but for the other two the Special Forces club in Knightsbridge.
