The show didn't actually show any gypsies, did it? Like Romany gypsies? They all looked like Irish travellers. It surprised me that a couple of them referred to themselves as gypsies, I thought they were entirely different groups?

[LindaLoo]

Heres a thought - and I'm not being rude or condescending - BUT there were a few of them admit that they dont marry outside the traveller community.

So I'm guessing that this is a fairly limited gene pool. Is this why they all look alike?

Yorkiegal - Post 190. That lime green number was a classic outfit! Why didn't I think of that - hell, why are we not ALL attending weddings dressed as green mermaiRAB!

I went to a gypsy wedding once. When we arrived at the venue for the reception we found that all the buffet had been stolen by a rival gypsy family, who were casually walking down the street with trays of sandwiches. We left when the fight kicked off.

Were they captured,or is this another case of blaming who you thought stole,the boxes?

I do wonder if Ist cousins marrying is a good thing

That retired boxer said they don't drink, it doesn't seem to stop them fighting apparently !

I'm not sure it's true that they don't date outside their own community. My sister dated a Irish Gypsy for a while, his family were nice (though he was an ignorant git who knew he was good looking), she's still frienRAB with his cousin. Maybe different communities are more integrated, or maybe it's just the girls they're protective of?


I felt really sorry for her, poor girl.
