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.Originally posted by SueEllen View PostYou 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.)
They should all be at Appleby at the moment so don't claim to be one this week as it won't wash.
