On a more serious note it could be a precursor to stealing the caravan itself my advice until you get another one take a wheel of said caravan.....

[IronGiant]

I am bearing that in mind, thanks, the caravan is temporarily secured . However as they left my sons bike yet took an old metal BBQ I suspect they were, ahem, scrap metal merchants of the itinerant variety who were picking up anything they could persuade themselves was unwanted.

Dave, that is the most polite verbiage I've ever heard to describe thieving scumbags...

I suspect LGS will be making an appearance soon, in defence of said 'itinerants.'

We had a visit from one of them a couple of months ago. Alas, they took my old car, which was minus engine and wheels. Hope they choke on the beer they buy with the money from weighing it in, as they caused more than that worth of damage to my driveway in doing so.

It would however seem that the police never managed to track down some people with a transit pickup who have someone that walks around in front of the van with a HORN blowing it and shouting "scrap men". My level of respect for these people is pretty limited now...

Ah, a Predominantly Itinerant, Knackered Iron Extricator...

[paulyoung666]

the scrap men have got clever round here , they follow the route of the bin wagon on collection day before it comes round , i was more than amazed that one knocked on the door asking if they could take away an old cooker that i was waiting to be collected for scrap

Just to stop riprse getting her knickers in a twist every time someone mentione the p word AV Forums take the following to be the current definition:-

Pikey's most common contemporary use is not as a term for the Gypsy ethnic group, but as a catch-all phrase to refer to people, of any ethnic group, who travel around with no fixed abode.

We would prefer it of people did not refer to genuine honest Romanies as pikeys but as a descriptive word to refer to low life thieving scum who may or may not have a fixed abode - the word is useable

Ian, This is a derogatory term for a gypsie just as the N word is for blacks. You can put any "twist" on it you like just as top gear tried to put there take on it a few months ago after useing it on there show. Still they were forced to issue an apology & are now being investsgated for using such a racist word.
Don't patronize me. If you had to live with this kind of abuse every day of your life like I & my children do you wouldn't take it so litely.
When your child comes home from school crying because a group of kids have spent the day chanting pikey at them, I want you to tell them not to get there knickers in twist.
If the moderaters on this forum can't hold back from making racist comments then how on earth can they moderate.
Frankly Ian I don't care one jot if you like me pulling up people for being racist, however if you were doing your job I wouldn't have to do it. Pikey is a racist term for a gypsie always has been allways will be. If we added a new defintion to the N word do you think it would be any less offensive to black people.
