Gypsy Weddings

[smurfchops]

Just starting !! Bye folks

[Dris]

o o -shirts off soon.............. (can you tell we have loads of travellers in my town)

[Captin Kirk]

If the dress is that unsafe it may require a fire extinguisher then why risk the poor child's health?

[tiggerblue10]

She looks like a mahusive bag of candy floss.

I don't actually watch it but I just thought I'd catch a glimpse as you were all chatting about it. Now back to my car game!

[Captin Kirk]

Scalextric Tigger???

[Dris]

Pats alright -he seems to be a strong character. (he's also cute on the eye ;))

[tiggerblue10]

I'm addicted and up to 47. Sorry to hijack your thread Smurf.

Wonder how many of their cars are taxed? lol

[B00]

Now see, i dont get it.

They've built houses, so they're not actually travellers are they?

[boxtops]

mobile homes B00, heavily disguised.

[dotty.]

I'm sorry but they dress their daughters like slappers and tarts and their sons like tramps and bag'eds

[B00]

No, i saw chalet type bungalows, complete with little brick walls round them, nowt mobile about those homes!

[dotty.]

and I mean the 6 year olds not the ones getting married

[sherrardk]

Apart from the wedding and confirmation dresses that we know are made by that dressmaker, where do they get the girls' clothes from? It is a very specific 'look'. The travellers around here dress their daughters the same way (but I am hardly going to ask them).

[lardhelmet]

Did the series producers seriously think we'd feel sorry for them when the bulldozers move in?

[dotty.]

they rip up their old slapper outfits and make their daughters bikini dresses out of them

[welshlibranr]

Don't think they tax or insure their vehicles, they move around so much that they can't be traced, a family were given a Housing Association house near to a relative of mine back in June, the police were forever calling round there, th children didn't go to school in the whole time they lived there, which turned out to be about 5 months, they then did a moonlight, leaving the house and garden in a terrible state!.....absolutely filthy!.............

[boxtops]

My friend lives in one of them in Spain, B00, it counts as mobile - you just bolt it into the mains and the drains, then put in on the back of a huge van if you want to move!

[lardhelmet]

In last weeks show welsh, they said travellers were extremely houseproud! I'm afraid I don't believe it

[sherrardk]

Just got to the bit where she is trying to get that big, huge dress into that tiny carriage thing - why don't they just book something with bigger doors?

Had to laugh at the dressmaker sitting at the wedding reception with a fire extinquisher on her lap, just in case the lights on the dress caught fire. (:0 D

The extremely tanned Mother of the bride looked more gypsy than the gypsies.
