When a couple of narrow boat boaters were confronted directly by a question from Phil” Are you a couple of water gypsies?” he was greeted with the reply” Certainly not, we are River Folk”. So we wanted to know what the differences were between the two. These people own a permanent mooring up north in Cheshire, their boat’s license was up to date, their faces were relatively clean shaven and that applied to the woman as well, and they had have a pet Yorkshire terrier. Now in the case of water gypsies they move from place to place on a daily basis, having probably thieved from the locals, started fights in the local pubs with the locals and threatened to set up permanent moorings at the locals favourite beauty spot spots.
Gypo’s synonymous with didicoys, tinkers and pikeys don’t believe in paying their taxes in any shape or form and any such licence disc seen on one of their boats will no doubt be a collector’s item. And as to their dogs, you will never see them with a nice little doggie; they prefer the sort, which like themselves are ugly. Such favourite breeds are lurchers for the illegal getting of game, pit-bull terriers for their illegal gambling sessions and Rottweiler-Alsatian half-breeds for their protection when engaged in criminal activities.
And don’t forget, when such people are about, you need to lock up everything because the type of key that can open up anything is a “pikey”
