    It's disgusting that they arrested you Chopper but unfortunately it's typical, you are an easy target for the police - but they don't dare go near the Travellers sites.

    Too right. However, the cops are not too keen to come and see me on thier own either.

    I am old fashioned. Englishmans home is his castle, look after your family, especially your women folk. That sort of thing. I keep getting little reminders that I am the one out of sync with society. I am regarded as someone to avoid because I have no time for PC nonsense. I do not conform to accepted norms. As such I have become a target for the authorities, as have all my club brothers. Wierd, but as a club member I have to obey more rules than most people.

    Called in at a garden centre today, a few miles from where I live. I got followed by staff all the time I was there. I get the same if I go somewhere like PC World, I have learnt to ignore it.

    Chopper.

    The police were back again last night!! And they were looking for him, and no, they wouldn't tell me why|! He seems to have done a runner - of course, he could be the VICTIM of a crime.....

    'Gipsy' is now an unacceptable word, so we use 'traveller' instead. Although I think 'gypsy' sounds rather romantic, whereas 'traveller' sounds like a rather dreary peripatetic salesman.

    You'd have to check with Harriet Harperson, but I suspect the answer is no.

    Blimey, haven't we wandered off topic about watering gardens :dh::flag:
