bubblewrapped · 08/02/2011 21:27

The men generally work as labourers, builders, scrap metal dealers... manual work that the taxman doesnt get to know about.

A Romany gypsy family, good to see. Poor Violet, having to give up work :( She's going to be miserable.

noddyholder · 08/02/2011 21:28

She won't last!I think her mum is expecting her back.She is too independent for the typical gypsy life

pettyprudence · 08/02/2011 21:29

WHY the chintz in the trailers????

TooManyButtons · 08/02/2011 21:29

I've just asked my friend if I can plan her upcoming wedding, now I've got so many ideas. She seemed oddly reluctant...

Lucyintheskywithdiazepam · 08/02/2011 21:30

Bubblewrapped, that's a massive generalisation.

Plenty of them are registered businesses and totally traceable by HMRC. You can't really drive around with your business name and details on the side of your van and not expect HMRC to not find out about you at some stage.

Yes, there are Travellers who are tax dodgers and benefit cheats. Probably in about the same proportion as you'll find them in the reat of the population.

DillyDaydreaming · 08/02/2011 21:30

I wouldn't want to piss Paddy off though. His wife is beautiful.
Like the family in the house - not sure how the daughter will get on living in a caravan after being in a house tho.

I've just googld it and you can get married anywhere in Scotland but in England and Wsles it must be a registered venue:

"A marriage can take place in:-

  1. A Register Office
  2. A church of the Church of England, Church in Wales, Church of Ireland, Presbyterian or Roman Catholic Church in N. Ireland
  3. A synagogue or any other private place if both partners are Jewish
  4. A Meeting House if one or both partners are either members of the Society of Friends or are associated with the Society by attending meetings
  5. Any other religious building provided that the person marrying the couple is registered by the Registrar General - see under Religious marriage ceremonies (England and Wales only)
  6. Premises approved by the local authority (See below)
  7. A place where one partner is seriously ill and not expected to recover
  8. The home of one of the partners if the partner is housebound, for example, has serious disabilities or is agoraphobic
  9. A hospital, if one of the partners is unable to leave or is detained there as a psychiatric inpatient
  10. A prison, if one partner is a prisoner.

Local authority approved premises
Local authorities in England and Wales may approve premises other than Register Offices where civil marriages may take place. Applications for approval must be made by the owner or trustee of the building, not the couple.

The premises must be regularly open to members of the public, so private homes are unlikely to be approved, since they are not normally open to the public. Stately homes, hotels and civic buildings are likely to be thought suitable. Approval will not be given for open air venues, such as moonlit beaches or golf courses. Generally, the premises will need to be permanent built structures, although it may be possible for approval to be given to a permanently moored, publicly open boat. Hot air balloons or aeroplanes will not be approved."

Wsles = Wales [forehead slap]

Munaka · 08/02/2011 21:31

Well how on earth do they afford weddings on that scale?

Plus all the house kitted out Lucy? I certainly can't afford their lifestyle.

ng1412 · 08/02/2011 21:31

Right well that's it bubblewrappped, I am going to have to retrain!!

juneybean · 08/02/2011 21:33

Yes, please do tell me how to earn that much money dealing in scrap. I'm quitting my job tomorrow and going to do that. And I'll get DP to do the same.

bubblewrapped · 08/02/2011 21:34
