Warning.

It's the Appleby horse fair in Cumbria this weekend.

That means lots of horses with their pikey, no gyppo, sorry no hawker, no really sorry TGB,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

TRAVELLING COMMUNITY owners. (phew don't think I actually offended anyone there!!!).

That also means lots of my fellow out & about.

Plenty of really crap drivers in their tranny vans pulling caravans (all the more room to put your bike once they've nicked it).

Quaint travelling folk.

So these thieving pikey scum are where again?

+ side crime levels in my area down for the next 2 weeks

- side my favourite road from hexham to alston and hartside ruined for at least 2 weeks but probably 3

Warning do not slow down too much to admire mental home made carts as your bike may actually be stolen while in motion!

watch out for the increased road hazzards (piles of horse **** in the bends) unregistered and uninsured drunk drivers, driving chelsea tractors and tranny vans anytime during the day.

ohh and a report from near devils bridge major fight with bikers.

travelling yoofs throwing stones at bikes as they went by, seems like they picked on the wrong group as 8 or so bikers turned round and promptly set about the said yoofs. then dads uncles etc joined in seemingly quite a melle

the reason for it all !!! a horse got spooked 10 mins earlier by a noisy bike ..

Ahhhhhhh I see now lol - I went to the lakes over the weekend and coming home via devils bridge was just absolutely and i mean PACKED with horses, caravans and old carts - and LOADS of police. It was mental. We all managed to keep hold of our bikes though

I remember seeing this on TV last year on some RSPCA programme.......poor bloody horses racing down the tarmac streets pulling rickity carts and doing themselve some right injuries

Sod being PC ****ing gyppos lawless scum, arrest em and float em on a barge in the north sea.

Throwing stones at moving bikers could have killed em!

Lawless scum i've been near one of their sites as they camped on a public field there was crap and rubbish piled up for months after they left.

Scum

good, the thieving scum will not be illegally occupying fields round here for a few weeks leaving the owners with dumped garbage, poo etc to clear. Nobody offering to tarmac my drive with a 30 micron coating.

Nobody trying to sell telly boxes or laptop bags with a brick in. plod will be able to get a full round of doughnuts in

[punyXpress]

'tis on, 7th to 13th June, but they are already congregating.
Quite a few around Devils Bridge, Sedburgh, Hawes etc & it will only get worse over the next couple of weeks!
