    Jezus that one Joan is unreal, shes a stunner. I def would, provided none of my buddies found out she was a pikey

    I wonder how much equipment was stolen from the camera crew during the filming of the doc?

    If anyone wants to see a travellor town you should head to Rathkeale, Co. Limerick. Over half the town is pikey and the money flaoting around is huge. Nobody really knows where the money is coming from but apparently the younger ones are involved in drugs

    Im from Rathkeale, and I doubt very much the money they have is coming from drugs. There very traditional here and I would be very,very suprised If any where invoved in drugs.
    I think its manily antiques they deal with in Rathkeale.

    I thought all in all it was an excellent programme showing a more human side and face to the travelling community. You wouldnt see a documentary like that from TV3 or RTE as they already have thir judgments made on the travelling community so Fair play to Channel 4. I really wouldnt like to be a young women growing up in traveller culture.

    Remember the Rhino tusks that were found being smuggled at Shannon Airport a few weeks ago....they were destined for the Rathkeale tinkers.

    Also, the Rathkeale tinkers recently had a Sale Agreed on the old cattle mart in Rathkeale for €3.6 million. Latest is that the sale has fallen through because the Revenue has asked them where the money came from!!!

    So they have their fingers in a lot of pies.

    I love the way they say they are very religous, have tonnes of morals, are self sufficient etc etc

    What a load of BS!

    I missed this but have finally caught up thanks to df1985. I have to say, I was expecting to get a full on Lipstick-Lesbo crush on the well represented Joan but I've had one Hell of a let-down. She's not even one of the more attractive women on the show.

    Plus, if you don't like people juding you based on the fact that you wear underwear in public, perhaps,you could, maybe, you know, wear some clothes over that lingerie?? How can you complain that you get no respect and then dress like a $2 hooker? I'm afraid it's either-or. Whether that's right or not, it's the way of the world. If if looks like a fish, smells like a fish, dresses like a fish...

    A lot of them went east after the Berlin Wall fell and bought antiques in Poland etc, brought them to UK for sale and made a fortune. I'm sure they paid all necessary taxes of course.:rolleyes:

    LOL, at the way the dressmaker went on about how they had the highest morals....

    Oh FFS, if you dress like a prostitute, will I think "there goes a fine upstanding unsullied citizen? Like frak I will, I'll think "look at that tangoed slapper!"

    Jeez some of the names traveller women are being called on here are appalling.........slapper,prostitute.....every offensive word under the sun and for what? Choosing to wear clothes they feel good in?
    Now their clothes are not to my taste but Im not going to call them sexually derogatory words because I personally don't like the clothes they wear.

    Surely anyone with a bit of self-awareness would recognise what those clothes say about them, and how their attire could be (mis)construed? It's odd that these girls with supposedly immaculate morals would present themselves to the contrary.

    It was interesting to see the older members of the traveller community categorically deny that there's any 'carry on' amongst the young ones. How can they be so sure? Almost any parent assumes their little angel isn't doing the dirty, but the way the people in the show really hammered the point home left me with doubts. If you'd asked settled people a few decades ago if the young ones were up to anything they'd have said no too; but that was just naivety.

    I wonder if the young lads and girls are as squeaky clean as their families want to believe.

    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.

    There were hardly any men in this programme and the women generally seem ok...its the men that fight, steal and are cruel to animals. Maybe thats why the programme gave us a more positive view of travellers, sadly doesnt change the truth.... that there is a different law in Ireland for the travellers to the rest of us, and thats a fact!!
