Interesting is an understatement .. I must admit I haven't
look at 'em all but the ones I have show a life style different
to that most of us have.
Me being me I had to have a look at the "Boats" photos... do
people really live on boats at Danes Moss in the winter ? 
Also looked at the "Family" (lasses) album

Thousands of people live on narrowboats all the year round in the UK.

G'day RotaryBri,
Yes I know you are a hardy lot but I thought this photo was a bit extreme.
There are some interesting photos of the Gypsy lifestyle in that link.

Hello Cobber.
The website is certainly interesting but I have to say it shows an alternative lifestyle, not a 'Gypsy' one...... 'new age travellers' are completely opposite in outlook particularly with regard to their homes, to Romany Gypsies. Sorry to be pendantic, but I cant help it !!  |

G'day Trailerman,
It's OK.. I don't mind you being pedantic... particularly when you're right  .
I did use the term Gypsy too lightly  .
