davyt63 1,845 Posted September 15, 2008 Report Share Posted September 15, 2008 My dear old grandpops Was born to travelling folk. Who were given land by the sally army to settle down and make the living . Of which they did. He was one of the most honest men you would ever meet. Anyone was welcome in his home. And he always put himself out to help others. He could not read or write but there was nothing he did not know about the land and countryside. And he always like a good barter. Over the years he bought land.And when he died it was sold .(His wish) though he never got to enjoy the good fortunes that his land bought.He was just the simple man. He made sure that my nan could spend the rest of her life in the comfort that she deserved. In my eyes he was a saint among men. xxxxsuzy hi suzy thats nice regards davy Quote Link to post Share on other sites

undisputed 1,664 Posted September 16, 2008 Report Share Posted September 16, 2008 I've already mentioned this a few months ago, I dont have a great deal of experience of travelling folk but have wittnessed first hand how kind they can be. A travelling lad went out of his way to help me find a place to rehome two dogs that had been badly treated by my nephew. My wife is friendly with a couple of old travellers that come to her village every year. No fuss no bother no mess just great company. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
speedy 0 Posted September 16, 2008 Report Share Posted September 16, 2008 just goes to show how easy people tar all and one the same at times. i know i can be guilty of doing it. im personal friends with bigdan and go out hunting with him and i would trust him looking after my dogs better then most of the non travellers i know. hes a man that genuinely loves his dogs, genuinely loves his hunting and he is a big fella, so if anyone wants a pop at him personally because he was open and honest about his roots im sure he would oblige you if you got in touch.

greenman 221 Posted September 19, 2008 Report Share Posted September 19, 2008 just read this thread this morning and had a similar conversation with someone a few days ago. in my opinion there are two types of people, those i like and those i don't. i can't and won't make that decision until i've met you. i am not always right about people and sometimes my opinions are changed but i won't be swayed by what others think. if you don't have any real experience of people of traveller decent you shouldn't pass judgement good or bad. oh and watching snatch does not count' which is an 18 by the way and judging by some of the comments on her some people are a bit young to be watching it. i grew up in hampshire and we had a large number of travellers in our area. they had been part of the community for longer than most of the people who constantly blamed them for everything. i have moved around a fair bit and its the same everywhere. i have recently moved to east anglia and there are a few sites in this area and its the same old thing, they are responsible for everything up to the bad harvest this year. the thing is i asked the people saying this if they new any travellers and why they thought they were responsible and what do you think there answer was, blank looks and well no. the point is this was a thread started by a traveller asking if there were any others on the site and it has become another thread slagging off people you don't know. sermon over.
