Are you aware of travellers?

If not, you can always go to the Traveller Awareness Day.

AN 'awareness day' for members of the travelling community is set to be held this summer.

And from the comments:

Will someone please make them 'aware' that everything that isn't nailed down doesn't belong to them!

It's just like the time I responded to Melbourne's annual Pride March down the beach road here by launching the inaugural Gay Indifference march. Nobody turned up.

The work that I do means that I occasionally come into contact with "travellers".

One never to be forgotten day found me at a "civic amenity site" (council tip) gazing at a collection of calor gas bottles, each of which had had the brass valves angle-ground away. Brass fetches a lot of money at any popular scrap metal yard you see.. Anyway, I pointed these absent valves out to the yard supervisor and said, "Gyppos have had those away Old Son". He looked shocked and said, "You're not allowed to say that!". I asked, a little puzzled, "What? Gyppos?". He nodded vigorously. I replied, "How about pikeys?". He recoiled, "No, no, no, no - we've had a Memo. They must be referred to as -" (here he screwed up his face in concentration) "Caravan Utilising Nomadic Travelling Society!" He beamed at his powers of recollection.

I did the nose trick with the mouthful of coffee I had just taken on board...

How did the people of a country that beat the Romans, the French, the Kaiser, Hitler, and owned most of the known world,come to the point where some prick sitting in London can order them not to say "Gyppoe", AND THEY LAY DOWN, SPREAD THEIR ARSE CHEEKS WIDE OPEN, AND ACCEPT IT?!?!

FT - I should point out (gently) That he was taking the piss. I take your point absolutely, Old Horse... but look at the acronym...

Furor Teutonicus said...

Aye. O.K. :-))

C.U.N.T.S. Priceless!

microdave said...

They cut the valves off with angle grinders?????

Pity they didn't blow themselves up.

If the stupid C.U.N.T.S. had one grain of common sense they would have got a monkey wrench and unscrewed them, thus liberating even more brass....

md - I see it a lot, honest. I'll photograph the next ones I see and post it somewhere!

You'd be amazed at just what the mad buggers get up to sometimes. Electrocuting themselves digging up copper electricity supply cables etc., some silly sods tried to gas-axe an acetylene cylinder. There wasn't enough found to fill a bucket afterwards...
