    I would give my personal view but that might invite a lot of criticism, so, for those that are interested, check out this link, it relates to the county that I live in the UK, then you will get the gist of how most people feel about travellers.

    Then for more of a chuckle, check this link out for yet more photos: http://tackyweddings.com/2008/10/30/...st-dress-ever/

    Like any other minority, there are good and bad. Where I work I have come across a lot of youngsters whose background has been a 'traveller'. Most of them are extremely clean and tidy, perhaps this comes from living in such a small area. I have also realised how very close they are, any trouble and all the family appears from nowhere!

    Some children in this situation have a home tutor, generally the local council pay for this.

    These days big white weddings really are not so common, most youngsters would sooner put the money towards a deposit on a house or flat.

    Finally, as for the Mother wearing a bra to the wedding.......nope, cannot answer that one.

    Interesting thread Mimi.

    cool website Clock, I love the way "officials" answer questions, surprisingly less dry in aspect than similar stuff here.

    wow, learning so much. Never knew what "fly-tipping" was before, and i never heard of a CHAV before either!!

    This 'Chav Nativity' really does sum up the description of a 'chav' The word has not been around that long, a couple of years maybe. I work with 16-24 year olds that are homeless and even some of those ridicule the chavs. However, the youngsters that do dress and act that way, are quite proud of it but are very involved in anti-social behaviour. On a 1-1 are no different to any other kid, just out to enjoy life and not worry about tomorrow or much else!


    Hope this amuses you..........innit!
