That  dog could keep the family fed when things where tough I was told  . the dog was a proper thief with no respect for boundaries lol . One time so the story goes they stopped over night and the dog goes off on its own for a mooch . Next morning plod looking around the trailers  usual questions and said you ain’t got any lurchers have you ? No why’s that ? Oh there’s been a lurcher going about the village . When plod goes the dog comes out of the hedge with a duck in its mouth . They reckon it would hide if it see a policeman apparently the dog would take anything even a duck of the village pond lol

Back then most of the travellers worked the fields on farms last thing they wanted was to cut cappers as they wanted the graft

You can't beat a bit of nostalgia

Kent or Essex mate probably picking hops or fruit . They lived and worked on the fields . This pic was probably taken on a Sunday with their Sunday best on

Your not wrong there ' loads up this way trying there Dam hardest to be gypsys or Travellers' not a drop of travelling blood in them.

It will be the downfall of the real deal Gypsys and Travellers imo 

Seen the video of the Mcginley lad getting sliced up with a stanly blade and a machete by other trailer boys , I recon them sort will have there hand in the ruination of travelers .
