Technically a racist term, Romany apparently is the de rigour of acceptable, as gypsy is a derogative term used by outsiders to identify Romany clans and culture in a single stereotype. Although, most that I know don't have an issue with the word gypsy (as a convenience). Roma is the term generally used within continental Europe

Odious:"extremely unpleasant; repulsive." Ergo,I find Nige repulsive.I find Nige extremely unpleasant. Just a point of view.But then again,I'm not prejudiced against having people of a differing ethnicity to me living next door. And as a defender of the moral high ground, I suppose you would be really happy if a load of Travelers parked their caravans on your front lawn?

Yeah there have and to be fair in recent years they've been moved on very swiftly. Last time we had them I got a load of them shouting abuse at me for looking a bit gay when I went running in shorts.

My passport renewal got accepted when I did that recently. I don't know why I risked it, but they just accepted it.

There you go again.Miss (deliberately?)the point and have a gratuitous pop at Travellers (who,by the way,are not Roma).Colonel Blimp's grandchild ? I wouldn't want anyone uninvited (particularly someone like you or Willo) moving into my front garden. But,funnily enough,I shared a flat while at uni with a bloke who was Roma. Decent guy and a good songwriter/guitarist.In fact,almost certainly better neighbour material than the likes of you or Willo Edited by legaleagle (20 Apr 2017 4.56pm)
