    Well, to be fair, some of those are the same people......

    I found it a bit odd that they said that they are entirely self sufficient and don't need anybody's help. Then why do traveller's constantly moan about not getting services such as bin collections, housing etc etc but don't pay anything back in taxes?

    Also, why do they need a hotel for their weddings when they are entirely self sufficient. If they can afford to buy top of the range Audi's, Volkswagens, Range Rovers, Toyota Hiaces :P, then they can afford to buy a marquee and arrange to have the reception in their own site - there won't be any problems then. And it would make sure that there are no unwanted interactions with the "country" folk :rolleyes:

    Not to mention all the social welfare payments, schools, roads, halting sites, Pavee Point, etc., all funded by the Exchequer and all upon which the noble independent itinerant depends.

    The average engagement age is 14....


    Sick sick sick


    "They have the highest morals, blah blah blah"

    Then why do they dress like skanks?

    And the fake tan, I think I spotted Stacey from Eastenders in there somewhere (hey that rhymed!)

    Really enjoyed that.

    Wouldn't have the greatest opinion of travellers myself but that program would make you think. Some good ones, some bad ones like everyone else.

    Probably the most positive portrayal of travellers I've seen on TV.

    The girl at the end did seem really unsure of what she'd gotten herself into but I'm sure that happens at "settled" weddings all the time too. Felt for her.

    Everyone in the program seemed decent enough people.

    Some of the clothes are amazingly awful though!!:eek:

    Felt sorry for the girl at the end that got married to Robbie Keane. Although he travels around that much from club to club it'd be a life that she'd be well accustomed to.

    I'd agree with Finty, there's the usual stereotypical comments around here but it did give you an insight into the travellers culture (and that's all it is, I do not abide the claims they're an ethnic race). Some of the girls were quite genuine and you could see that the tradition is a huge thing to them, even though it appears that they may not like it deep down, you did feel sorry for that 22 year old girl, she seemed quite a nice person.

    I had to admire some of the fancy cars there though, I wonder will the inland revenue be around the area this morning.

    So they can never marry or date a "settled" person...the kids arent allowed mix with non-travellers because they'll be learning "bad ways"..i think inbreeding has made them simple minded as well as racist.

    Well I have to say it made me look at travellers in a different light most of them came across very well, it was a well made programme but that last girl Joan was a peach if you were in a disco and saw her how many guys here would be heading in her direction.

    I hope that things work out for her, its a pity that we were not told where they went or how they are getting on.

    And they can't eat after midnight, get wet, and they're afraid of bright lights too.

    You wouldn't see her in a nightclub though.

    She was a good looking girl though (in her normal day clothes that is), but as soon as she put on her traveller uniform she looked in bits.

    It was hard not to feel sorry for her. Imagine having to deal with a new husband, sex for the first time, leaving home, giving up work all in one day.

    There's a reason why "Country Folk" gave up that way of living years ago.

    Probably has about six kids and is living in a halting site somewhere in Galway.
