Bosun11 537 Posted April 15, 2014 Report Share Posted April 15, 2014 I always thought they were called barrel tops! Haha. . Beautiful wagon. . Reminds me of a man I remember when I was very young. . We called him Billy "Sticks" because he was always found alone in the middle of nowhere, Mid-Wales. . A dark skinned, mysterious man, lived in a wagon permanently, don't know how he got by, a horse, dog and candles. . It was said he use to kill a sheep when times were desperate. . He use pull on a farm near Llangybi where an old polish pow lived, who's was an enigma himself. . All coming back to me! It's a real shame this rat race of life in modern day Britain can't facilitate for those who would want to live that way, a simple kind of life. . And your post reminds me of a bloke my old man knew FM, dark of skin and mysterious too, Brown Bill everyone called him. Horse and black dog that looked like a racy Malenois and as constant 'head patters' we were always told to give it a wide berth! Funny but in a world of Big Fat Gypsy Stuff, you just don't see the dark people anymore..? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
