Don't 'for god's sake' me :mad: ... it was somebody else who suggested it.
I just concurred that it had crossed my mind too :cool:.

If Appleby is too far, they are always welcome to Moulsecoomb in Brighton, where certain types seem to think it's a holiday park and despite the installation of giant Biffa bins, the council still has to go on after them and clear up the almighty mess. They move between three areas, all of them sports grounds. Currently they're on a cricket pitch. I feel for you Appleby locals. Being close to Epsom is bad enough!

haha i live in effingham and will say no more
 
From what I see, just because your great grand dad Jimmy or whoever was, was a traveller does not make yourself one.

Particularly if you're nicking anything and everything, abusing your horses, causing fights and displaying other aspects of anti-social behaviour to the extent that other members of the community who (dare I say it) pay their taxes. You are just a thug. Not a traveller.

I do feel for the ones in the minority who are nice, because I know of some and they can actually be honest and pleasant people. However, there are too many in the majority who have made it impossible to ever give the term gypsy or traveller a clean name, unless the authorities actually DO SOMETHING and bring the perpetrators to justice

And comparing Appleby to Glastonbury is pointless. Glastonbury has a safe atmosphere, no fights, a safe environment for children and NO ANIMAL ABUSE. Sure mess is left, but at least it's not knackered horses left for the authorities to destroy because there's no hope for it.

And it's not racism, it doesn't matter what group of people it is. The fact is it's a horrible event (which yes, used to be a great weekend!) where countless crimes and acts of anti-social behaviour takes place. People would still condemn it no matter what 'race' or 'ethnic group' were involved.

I just watched the video. Wish I hadn't. Horrific. It should be banned. Was glad when that coloured dumped the guy in the water though, bloody idiot.
 
So you remember I said yesterday that they were letting foals get onto the busy A road that I live next to and seemingly not worry about it? OH stopped to shoo one back off the road, as have other people I know. Well some of the owners had cobbled together an electric fence, but obviously not well enough as this morning, one of said foals was on the road again and hit by a car - unfortunately for it, it was not killed outright.

First casualty I have heard of so far.

Why oh why do some of them think they are immune from everyday dangers that we would be incredibly worried about - as I say, I don't even like riding on that road between bridleways!
