We grew up  in a caravan with knackers.
It was fucking great.
My nan had a house in Cork,but we had a caravan in England. We went back and forth.
I moved more than 20 times by the time I met my Mrs.
went to five schools.
Was illiterate at 7 yrs old.
Always had trouble with the old bill.
We are Irish ,but definitely not pikies.
The best days of my life.

Fantastic.....
I'm intrigued ;how do you define the difference between Pikies ,Tinkers etc ?
Did you classify yourselves as Travellers ?
Is there some kind of Hierarchy like a caste system in the Irish Traveller community as distinct from the Romany ?
My great grandparents were Romany on my mother's side but from Andalucia ( Cordoba )
