Oh dear...travellers have arrived

[leswold]

Within hours of their arrival in our local park today, 'tree surgeons' are touting door to door. Chickens, dogs & kids running everywhere, music up high & generally ticking everyone off. Hope they clear off soon & take their mess with them. Wouldn't normally post such trivia...but then Strictly is on.

Quite a few years ago travellers installed themselves on our local park.After about a week those living closest got fed up with the noise of the generators etc.They knocked the doors of as many residents as they could (including ours) & eventually amassed a crowd of about thirty.We spent the night keeping them awake as much as we could.Obviously the police were called but nothing was done.The following morning they left.They haven't returned since.

Just had exactly the same thing happen here. Cut down an 11000 voltage consumer box, tried running a security guard over, burning out cars, speeding, poaching, sh1tt1ng everywhere and fly tipping.

 

It only lasted 5 weeks 😠

Make sure your saws are well out of sight they love em round here.

Are you based near Sudbury Percy ? Sounds like a story I heard the other week

[percy verance]

Yes Tom, not very far. Got broken into twice when they were here but I don't think it was them. I think it was other local scallies doing it hoping that the travellers got the blame!

[delabodge]

I would so like to add to this post having been wiped out twice ,they? Nicked every thing with a plug,,but as I really don't know who "they" are then I cant ,just guess,,,,and presume it was them!

[Gary24]

Somebody here let em do a tree job and take conifer away and they came back at night and tipped in the drive,and not been seen since.

Just to add a bit of balance.... we had 'em pitched in a car park near us and my son enjoyed playing with their young 'uns for a couple hours in the park.

cheers, steve
