Ditch Shitter Just Wrote .....

Quick word about comments ...

Comments here are 'moderated'. In as much that I have to physically see them and wave them through once you hit Send. So, if ye write a Comment. Post it. Don't see it? No worries. It's just sitting there, waiting for me to come online and find it in my email. I click and your words appear here. Please don't post it several times. Get frustrated and storm off, never to be seen again. It's just a measure I was forced to put into place by doxxers, spammers and other, mentally unstable's.

Why I've Been So Quiet Lately .....


Sorry, peeps. I see ye still looking in here. Both the Regulars and those who find their way by what ever means. And I haven't said anything for about a week now, have I? Sorry about that. I've nearly done with what's had my interest. Not that I won't be nipping back to look for more, on a very regular basis! :D

It's this site I happened on, see. Romany Gypsy Trailers I'm sorry but, this site just sort of took me by the bits and, like the old joke about, " What do ye have, if ye holding a little green ball in the right hand and a little green ball in the left? ". 'The undivided attention of ...' Never heard that one? Ask me some time. It's cracked me up for decades!

Only, this site has my undivided attention. I've been in there, day and night, for about a week now. I'm drooling.

Now, I know ye'll go take a look. Ye'll probably click a few times. See " Caravans " and think, 'So fucking what? Some prick down the road from me / round the way has a caravan. Drags it, slowly, along the roads to some god knows where once or twice a year. Sits in it and must get bored. Then comes home. Excellent.'

No. Bollocks. These are not some pumped up, lower middle class idiots way of pissing off the neighbours, then half the road users of the country. These are the Homes of the people I knew, back in the 60's, 70's and 80's. Trailers the likes of which I sat in. Motors like my people owned and drove about in. I loved them then. I'm completely smitten with them now. This is My Nostalgia!

Believe me; Ye have to have experienced that feeling of sitting in the cab of a fucking great Bedford. Sat in a Trailer and been shown the stacks of Royal Crown Derby plates stashed away beneath the seat ye sitting on. Know the value of a single fucking piece of such china ..... All that, and so much more.

But, I guess, if it's not in ye blood? Ye'll just never 'Get It'. We'll still just be " Dirty Gypo's " and " Fuckin' Pikeys " to many of ye?

Ok. Fine. Only, do this much, will ye? Look at the prices of some of these trailers. Compare that to what ye own houses cost, back then. Even if ye didn't pay tax ~ spot me an un taxed motor ..... ~ Could You have afforded those 'Show Homes' then? Could ye have crammed them with Crown Derby (As good as a Gypsys bank account, then as now).

More than anything: Look at those interiors. Then look around the room ye sat in .....

" Dirty Gypo's " ? Ye really think so ....?

    I have been welcomed into traveller/"gypsy" caravans like that many a time, and I can say I have never had more hospitality shown to me than in there. Like everything there are bad in every culture, but I have always found them for the most part nice, decent, god fearing, religious, hospitable, friendly. This is the irish gypsy that I am referring to.

    Hmm,.cannot speak about the Irish Gypsy,...although,.they seem to be all over the UK,..doing work,...and moving on,.lol..
    But,..having grown up with the Kentish Hop-Picking families,.and spent a lot of time on many camps and sites,..I am often reminded of Colonel Custer's statement,.when he said,." The only good Indian,.is a fecking dead Indian".....
