Illegal sites??

[has]

How do pikey sites get their water / electric / sewage etc, etc.
Is it just them "tapping into" the system illegally (again), as is most things they do?

I don't think you can say pikey on here now.... ;-)

[redcrx]

permanent sites provided by councils have everything provided.

illegal sites they often go out to get water daily.

We once arrived at work to find theyd got a hose on outside tap and were washing their vans!

pikeys dont care much.

A gypsey family that parked near our factory almost froze one night as they didnt have any wood for fire and waited til we got in before asing if they could take a bit of broken pallet on our carpark. They were decent
