Either, my rant is aimed at scum who enter peoples land without consent, park their **** bag caravans all over it. Let their kids (who should be in school) go wild. **** it all up with rubbish, fridges etc etc. Then **** off to shaft someone else over who has to deal with their mess.


I'm not against the ideal of the travelling lifestyle, hell sounds quite nice. But when you see what they leave behind. No wonder people like me think there scum. If only they stayed somewhere and moved on without the pile of **** they leave behind.


And no I don't own land, however have to ride past what was a nice bit of land that is now currently occupied by said "Gypsies", who day by day seam to be ****ing it up more.

To be fair, the bike was pretty dirty so they are probably all over the wheel rim

Not yet, he's just trying it on at the moment, I even sold the bike with a full tank of petrol and he got a bargain anyway.
