irish traveller ama

@TakeABreak2 hi OP, are you at Gildersome? I teach many kids from the site there. Lovely families.

sm2132 i dont even know where that place is tbh and no i dont know anyone who steals dogs

whatthewatersshowrdme
thats how it still is at school
and i think everything is still nearly the same
they dont like men knowing much most men wont go into the birth room some will the dont brestdeed but care of a newborn is care of a newborn u cant change that really

greenrut not many irish travellers are christians majority are catholics we do mix with non traveller born again christians we to to a travellers church but there is a few non travellers who go there and are welcomed i can give you dates/post code and you will see how we welcome everyone
i am english being born in england but i do see my self as irish
in my experience in ireland they dislike travellers probably more than english people not saying all irish people do

nope im from sherburn in elment

it is litterally 3 families the whole travelling community knows about them

It can't be three families. We have the same in Beds/Bucks - a huge permanent site. Our town suffers lots of theft from local shops, the farm next to the site, and there's lots of trouble in town with shoplifting, antisocial behaviour, etc. If it's only three families, they certanly get around...

georgeousshazydays of summer i mean 3 travellers names by familys theres hundredss of them.... my 'family' name theres hundereds of us 4 differant breeds of us...

On documentaries I see travellers claiming various men to be “king of the gypsies”, is this a real thing? If so, how is it decided? By birth, are certain families seen as superior? Or by deed?

How did Irish Travellers start travelling back in Ireland? Like hundreds of years ago or whenever?

You want others to understand notacooldad but you font seem to understand the op isn’t responsible for the actions of people she doesnt know.

You are being a complete arsehole banding on and on and on.

Banging* obvs

@notacooldad When I lived in Moss Side in Manchester I could reel off a very long list of the abuse I experienced at the hands of the black community, but I still wouldn't on meeting a black person go on at them about it as if they were somehow responsible and not the specific people involved.

this 'king of the gypsys' is an ejit is all i can say and there family being one that i was told to stay away from! the think there king of the gypsys because they fight alot ...

dieantword
i cant really answer this one? i dont know how travellers began but irish travellers was always from ireland

notacooldad
your name says it all - your not very cool and are acting like a spoilt child i cant answer you for others actions i have said sorry *which wasnt my place to do so and your still going on please dont commen no more

At the supermarket car parks in north London, it is the same group who come every year, tour the supermarkets in the same order moving every 2 weeks until they eventually leave. So it could possibly be the one family.

OP, we have a large amount of travellers descend on us every year. I have seen;

That awful situation with the kids and baby being badly hurt because they were playing in a car park
3 semi naked men washing in a car park with a shared bottle of water
Grown adults pooing in Ikea car park (I don’t even understand that one, Ikea has toilets)
Baby’s being washed in Nando’s toilets

I know it’s not you personally as you’ve said you don’t pull up in car parks but I don’t mean to sound rude or nasty to people that do but honestly how can anyone enjoy a life like that?

OP, was the burglar who got killed by a pensioner in Hither Green, London from one of those 3 troublesome families you mention.

www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-london-43774803

What do you or if you can, your community, think about those travellers and their behaviour in the Hither Green neighbourhood.

no hes not one of them - i havent heard there second names before

Sorry OP it may be your thread but you can't stop people commenting just because you don't want them to.

I was responding to some comments directed at me.
Nobody said it was your fault.. I didn't say that I didn't like every traveller either but as a collective I don't like it because of the aftermath.

Not sure I understand your response. If you don't know their second names (fair enough), how do you know the burglar is not one of them?

windbeneatybingowings
but semi naked i suspect you mean no top on with either shorts/jogging bottoms because thats all i ever seen - they wouldnt come out in there boxers because of there respect to traveller women they wouldnt be 'allowed' as such and washing out of a water gallon sounds correct - we have no water facillities when travelling i dont understand the car park thing ? maybe they were just dirty pigs

like i said i cant answer for everyone .... but travellers have very big famillies and everyone in the travelling community knows everyones second names ... maybe his mother married a non traveller thats why i dont know his surname?

notacooldad
but this is a AMA thread your litterally coming on here to take your anger/upset at me because i am a traveller because of your experiences - your not actually asking anything...

*we have no water facillities when travelling i dont understand the car park thing ?
I may have missed it but OP but do you use the permanent sites. I was involved in setting up a site in our town about 18 years ago with reasonable facilities.
