Still there just now, i'm sure they will be moving on soon (after doing a big shop at sainsburys)

Well, they will need tickets soon, I wonder if the wardens have the balls to ticket them.

If not, they shouldn't ticket anyone else for the duration of out traveller friend's stay...

Just been told some left Rugely this week, could be them? Apparently they shat everywhere and left it again, seems to be the pikey modus operandi. Perhaps if they want people to give a shit about them they should stop shitting everywhere and leaving it, makes the dog ban up the park seem ludicrous!

Was going to do a bit of shopping in SAinsburys today but this lot put me off and Tesco got my cash instead. Hope the scumbags move off soon.

Noticed a small group of travellers on the grass verge just outside Shifnal at the weekend too.

Why on earth would a few caravans up the corner of a car park put you off shoping at Sainsbury's?

Are you part of a strange cult with some wierd caravans & shopping commandment?

Probably because they didn't feel safe with the travellers nearby, maybe they felt there was an increased chance of their car being broken into or being robbed or maybe it is just that inbuilt feeling that a lot of us have that travellers are trouble and best avoided.

To be fair poo was mentioned

However, some people do pre judge a situation without the proper information , and are therefore prejudice

If there is shit on the floor when they leave then the next load will be pre-judged again. People only have a problem with pikeys because they have previously had a problem with pikeys, if you see what I mean.

If all staffordians were judged by what I have to tiptoe through over radford bank footbridge the day after an england game then we would all be in the shit.

Here's a suggestion :- why don't we provide them with a place to shit and put their rubbish until they have moved on? It would probably cost less than the current cleanup costs.

Yep, I'm in that very same cult, thanks for your interest.

10 internet points says they leave a mess when they leave are evicted.

Can I have some land as well then please? I'll crap on your floor if it helps!

Having them there temporarily doesn't bother me too much, but why should my taxes pay to clean up where they can't be bothered to? Even when camping wild for a week I never left a turd unburied, I never left any litter, so why accept it when others do? They will get respect when they deserve respect, and like it or not their actions will form the basis of how people see the next lot.

You are probable right, treat people like scum they will behave like scum, Treat them with respect and who knows?

Cuts both ways, stop pissing people off and maybe they'll stop treating you like scum? Can you name one traveller infestation we've had that didn't involve things like human faeces scattered across the floor afterwards? I remember one in Rickerscote many moons ago (gotta be 20 years now), and it seems like nothing has changed. If they want to be liked why do it?

I was taught to always earn respect, not expect it and then adjust my behaviour accordingly.

Hey, behave like adults and show some respect to others and who knows?

Read Gypsy Boy by Mikey Walsh, might open your eyes a bit about their culture.
Treat them with respect and they will have you for breakfast !!

They are selfish people who don't abide by the laws of this country and expect everyone else to pay for the clean up after they have left, they want locking up not respect!
