    Australian authorities have zero tolerance for that kind of stuff. If they did this here they’d get a 3 month suspended sentce at best. Most likely they wouldn’t even get arrested.

    It's the getting in there in the first place thing that has me scratching my head. How did that happen?

    Like a Top Gear special, sulky carts all tricked out so they can float.

    Are they even travellers lads? Those names aren't exactly familiar.

    Fits the MO, I'd be shocked if they aren't.

    The traveller girl on Travellers Guide last night was an O'Leary, would never have associated that name with travellers before.

    If work was in bed, they'd sleep on the floor.

    Baker isn't even an Irish surname.

    Leo is taking back ISIS wives...I think these lads will get a house and the Xmas social bonus when they come back!

    and if it turns out they are travellers or "Ethnic minorities" it's a house with stables for them! :D

    Yes. There was a traveller kid when I went to school with the surname O'Leary. There's a few of them around.

    They are travellers who travel around working and they go home to Rathkeale at Christmas. There's generally stories about them in the papers.
    They aren't as common here in my experience as they used to be. We mainly get them selling socks.

    They say you can tell an Irishman by his shoes (usually wrecked, down at heel, never once saw polish). Your ones must have got the memo.

    Not your ornery onager
