your purely a traveller by birth you litterally cant become one i suppose if you marry one though and they still want to follow their ways then your the next best thing

This is going to sound really stupid but I used to work in a shop very popular with travellers. I had my regular ladies who used to come in who I would chat to. All of them without fail used to say I must have some traveller blood (I do distantly) as they could tell just by looking at me. Is this something traveller people can tell or were they just pulling my leg? I know it sounds really stupid! Sorry haha

How do you make money? Do you have a job?

This thread is really interesting! Thanks OP

annewidd yeah if i seen a traveller who ive never seen/spoke to in my life id know straight away we can just tell

This is such an interesting thread. Thanks for sharing OP.

summersun i do rely on my husband but please dont think all are like this - ivhave a 2&3 year old but i am starting to look into buying/selling baby clothes and opening a boutique eventually

@TakeABreak2 that's amazing! Thank you! I loved those ladies and I love them a little bit more now!!

I'm not judging don't worry just interested! A boutique would be lovely

i didnt say i m the perfect traveller no body is perfect and i have seen first hand what some people do - bt there is no need for you to come on a AMA post just to tell me aload of filthy language about travellers just because i am one

thought of another one - Is there traditional Traveller food/recipes?

Thanks for answer

Who looks after the families with a disabled father, who can't mend drives or paint buildings etc?

Do his brothers help support his family too?

@notacooldad

Your post is completely out of order!

The OP has said several times that she does not engage in criminal behavior and does not support those who do.

pallisters i know everyone makes bacon and cabbige but i think thats an irish thing? you can buy it in garages back in ireland they are lovley if your ever there i just make stews roasts ect a meat a potato a veg and a bread lol

subtitles on he will be getting disability money his sons/brothers/fathers will also help out

just to let gyous know i am a born again christian - i dont lie, gamble, swear, drink, take drugs ect ect i try my hardest

Thanks that is good news

Is it true that its acceptable for traveller men to hit their wives?

Do you not feel envious of the freedom non traveller women have.

Next time notacooldad posts a thread I’m going to bombard him with news stories of vile things some men have done to people.

Are you scared of snakes?

Are you afraid of witchcraft?

Called you last night and Dhala - Irish Travellers are a legally recognised ethnic group. You could 'travel' yourself but you wouldn't become that ethnicity.

I've had people tell me I'm not a traveller because I'm 'settled' and went to university but you cannot be educated out of your ethnicity, your heritage, culturural traditions, norms and values remain the same whether your an educated and/or settled or actively travelling.

whereismymind not true although like everywhere else dv does happn
no i have freedom too...

Do you claim benefits? (Travellers in general I mean)

Annewiddescombeshandbag I was going to say the same thing! My nan was Romany gypsy I am always recognised by travellers and Romanies as are my two sons lol. It is in the blood I can’t drink tea or coffee out of anything but fine china! I’m laughing cos my downstairs toilet is filled with cleaning stuff and soap powder, I have a caravan which is where I truly relax.
