I think Ruth's suggestion was excellent, great advice about bringing a little helper along. But living where I live (Dublin - surrounded by legal and illegal Traveller camps), I personally wouldn't go into an area if I know there has been trouble with people not paying for services received. Having said that, I refuse point blank to go mobile so I'm never faced with this predicament. As someone pointed out, there is a vast difference between Romanies and Travellers (or 'Knackers', as they're so quaintly called here) and I'm damn sure I wouldn't go into a Kancker Camp, settled or not, for a measly £40 or so quid! I know I might sound like I'm painting them all with the same brush, but the stories I have heard from Sean about the way they have been abused and attacked when trying to help the Knackers (2 ambulance guys held hostage whilst trying to help a female traveller giving birth, is just one!) is enough to put me off.
I'm sure I read on here a good while ago about one salon doing a 'travellers' nails and at the end of the service she made some excuse about getting her purse - and then did a runner! Something like that.
I'm not sure how the police deal with 'traveller' crimes in the UK, never had much to do with them when I lived there, but here in Ireland, the Gardai seem to be scared to death of them - they get away with murder - literally! I'm ranting, aren't I? Sorry! :o
If you really want to go , then don't go alone. I don't know how nail techs can go mobile at the best of times - I'd be scared stupid not knowing what I was walking into! Make sure you let us know you're ok if you do go to the house!

If she did readings like a lot Gypsy's do she would have the money from you first! before she started the reading.
I am sure all will be fine.

I have been beaten up by a black woman - does that mean all black women are violent thugs? No.
I have been burgled by Moroccans - does that mean all Moroccans are thieves? No.
Please understand that to people with Gypsy blood some of these posts could be seen as extremely offensive - I'm sure none of you meant to cause offense, but imagine if the question was about your colour, or religion, or creed - wouldn't you be a bit upset?
Just my opinion, don't want to cause a row - far too sleepy for that! :zzz:
On a lighter note, did anybody see Nigel Harman on the telly last night??? Hubba hubba - he's beauuuuutiful:Grope: :Love: !!! Stayed up til 3 watching Comic relier - it was one of the best I've seen!

Whats now worse is that you seem to be making fun at the expense of a group of people that choose to live in a certain way, not our way but their way.
