I grew up with gypsies when we moved south the first time, back in the 1970’s. I’m not going to go into chapter and verse about them or how they lived their lives. What I will say is that the locals hated them, but they were too scared to say so, those guys were and are hard as nails.
Never mind, I’ll get to the point, they always referred to themselves as travellers or travelling folk. Everyone else, including me, are gorgers.
