Someone interviewed suggested that we should be celebrating the good things that the travelling community bring to society.
Obviously this resulted in a mouthful of Shepherds Pie all over the TV screen and the shouted comment of "!!!!!!"

Don't mess with the travellers....

We used to have a camp of them near us, and the older women would come in to the village during the week, to sell pegs and heather and stuff.
I remember one week, 3 pensioners in their 90's all died, and rumour got round it was because they didn't buy any lucky heather when the traveller ladies knocked on their doors.
Also, a cow on one of the farms had a calf with 2 heads and 8 legs, and all the milk in the dairy went sour overnight.
Folk round here are a bit superstitious.
I personally think it's a load of old tw
