YANNIES =TRAVELING PEOPLE as distinct from Gypsie the true gypsies are few and far betwean nowadays
it is these scrap lads that give the minority the bad name and no i am not a Romany gypsie but knew a family of them a more kind caring and honest family anybody would be proud to know

I am reading a book at the moment, tracing the life of romany gypsies, "Bury me standing" by Isabel Fonseca. very interesting and disturbing.

I must say, I relay enjoyed working with the travellers I came to know, I used to have a laugh and often was told I look like " Aunt Pammy!!", very similar traditions comparable to Hindu religion, I have said before, I knew a policeman who was a Romany gypsy, then went into the police force at the age of 18, went up and up. was a complete hippy with his long hair and long nails and played the guitar to cell users ;), now hes retired and teaches tie chi and grows Bonsai trees and speaks Madelin!! WHops my spelling, never mind, you get my drift!!!!!!
