Graham Nash Posted March 7, 2011 Report Share Posted March 7, 2011 Forty gypsies arrive at the Pearly Gates in their Transit vans and caravans. St Peter goes into the gatehouse and phones up GOD, saying: 'I've got 40 travellers here. Can I let them in?' GOD replies 'We are over our quota on Pikeys. Go back out to the Pearly Gates and tell them to choose among them which are the 12 most worthy, and I will let just the dozen in.' Less than a minute later St Peter is on the phone to GOD again. 'They've gone', he tells GOD. 'What?' says GOD, 'All 40 of them?' 'No, the Pearly Gates'. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Newboy Posted March 7, 2011 Report Share Posted March 7, 2011 I've found this extremely offensive as I'm from the ethnic minority.... a chinaman if you must know. You are branding all gypsies as thieves and lying, cheating toerags. I have known many pikeys in my field (luckily not one they can park their caravans on), yes, they can't read, write or count, they fight alot, loud and unwashed and smell, but they work very hard to earn a living, they get up early every day thinking of new ways to get the unsuspected general public to part with their money, especially the elderly. Just think how could someone get a nearly new 40" lcd tv for a fraction of the selling price off the back of the lorry? I believe in treating them well and give them more benefits and each town/city must have a traveller site right next door to the council office........

Graham Nash Posted March 7, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 7, 2011 TBH Newboy, I have an "agreement" with the local ones ..... I leave them all my scrap and they leave my doors and windows intact .... it seems to work well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
