    Is December 28th "National Begrudgery Day" or something? There seems to be a lot of "these people have this and I don't and they're smelly for it" threads appearing...

    I assume you have some "traveller detection" power or something to be able to identify them driving by at 60mph?

    Maybe not when they're in a car, but when a transit drives past with a caravan behind it and a family of 12 in the front....

    Who doesn't have an address. Are you generalising? Or jsut bigoted?

    And you don't need a passport to travel between Ireland and the UK.

    If they were loud and rude, and drove German cars, my guess is that they were ........................ Germans!

    Germans and Irish travellers: can't tell the difference 'cause I can't understand either language.

    Travellers have caravans that cost more than a house.

    i was having my lunch in town,then these 2 bmw's,a lexus and a porsche pull up.a large group og men came into the cafe,all with irish accents very loud rude anti-social sat down ordered food .the whole cafe could hear them,by the way they spoke they were not at all anyway ever in school.of the 4 cars 3 were german reg and one uk reg.no tax or insurance on any of the cars.just wondering how do they get these high hend cars and what laws apply to them i terms of travel,paying tax prsi etc??

    I wonder whether some people receive text messages through txtspk and questions if the sender has ever been to school.

    They drive round in flash cars because of the same reason everybody else does-There rich. They drive round sellin u dodgy furniture which they make massive profits on and they dont pay tax because they dont have an address. For example. Fireplace in my house was bought for bout €250 ish as far as i can remember but the guy(he was a traveller by the way) started at about 700. assuming that he probably still made a profit on the 250 imagine what he would make if we didnt haggle.
    They also go round scamming people like the story of the guy who was shown a nokia phone agreed to buy it and ended up with a nokia box full of rocks.
    Plus the cars probably were aquired by not so legal means.
    You think there cars are flash? have you seen there plots in graveyards? More marble and gold that aincent rome!!!

    If none of us paid taxes and "acquired" stuff we could all buy flash cars, caravans and houses. Wouldn't life be great except for the odd funeral or wedding massacre.

  • Registered Users Posts: 21,264 ✭✭✭✭Hobbes


    Maybe one of the travellers won the lotto. Or maybe they just buy them to piss you off. Seems to work.
