    I think I was cursed by one the other day in London because I didn't buy any lucky heather.
    Ah, well.

    cos they constantly move around and

    as a concequence, don't have the big bills slapped on their door matt.

    Same with water/gas/electric etc, they just get the bottled stuff etc to avoid all bills.

    no not really.

    By the time councils get eviction notices to the land they are on, I beleive they are on there way to the next plot of land leaving all their rubbish behind.

    I could be wide off the mark, but I think this is what goes off.

    I haven't said anything

    Just asking for peoples opinions.

    I'd like to think that I do my tiny little bit though.
    I pay taxes.
    And like you, I have a job educating the young

    and in your opinion

    Does paying taxes and educating the young make me or you any more or less valuable as people.

    You could argue that 'gypos' do both. Every time they make a legal payment they typically pay VAT. And are 'gypo' kids not 'educated' to be gypos' they learn to speak 'gypo' and understand the 'gypo' way of life. They just learn a different set of values. Are these values better or worse than mine? or are they just different.

    Just asking like?

    Valuable?

    Not really.
    But I would argue that we try and do our bit in our little way.

    Can't help but smile having read how they are educated to be gypos.

    'legal payment' : know what you mean

    'Speak gypo', 'understand the gypo way of life'

    what are they? They're not a religion, they're not a race. They're misfits
