Also got to know one of the main men in the site who wasn't the brightest star in the sky but was very handy with his fists and that's how he used to make a living. Is there anything wrong with that? isn't it the same as a boxer/cage fighter? If you've got a talent that can earn you money then why not exploit it.
He openly admitted he couldn't read or write properly and it was down to his up bringing and from an early age he learnt to "look after" himself.

Yea the problem is nearly everyones experience with gypos is bad. Like you pointed out they dont educate themselves to a great degree. They dont contribute to society and activately steal/make it worse for others. Ok so you can fight, well be a boxer or something that doesnt inflict so much damage (i dont like boxing but hey ho). When they asked that dress maker how much to dresses cost she had me sold that they would kill her if she told. That bare knuckle figther bloke wouldnt let his daugther marry "country folk" (aka normal sane englishmen), why not? My parents are catholic but they dont force their beliefs on me or my sister.
The stereo type of liverpool is steal yer hub caps if they aint nailed on etc. yet i know loads of people from liverpool who are great only one was abit dodgy. Yet i've only had bad experiences with travellers and i worked in blackburn so i know what they were talking about on the program and i knew the areas they filmed.
