Got Any Ladybirds, Missus?

Lucky White Heather? Want Some Pegs?

Here's a new one! Pikeys caught stealing or trespassing are apparently claiming that they were just "collecting ladybirds".

Nah .. I can't see this being true .. for starters, most of the thieving toe-rags can't even read .. mind you, I suppose they could always look at the pictures ...


Here's one which the "litterati" amongst them might find interesting though ..

oooh Captain, you've done it now...

Recent conversation I had with (enlightened) council employee:

Me: (surveying damage) Fucking pikeys did that.
CE: Mustn't say that.
Me: What, "pikeys"??
CE: Mmm. Yep.
Me: Alright, fuckin gyppos did that.
CE: Can't say that either. We've had... a MEMO.
Me: What are we supposed to call them then?
CE: (clears throat and recites as though from memory) They are now to be referred to as Caravan Utilizing Nomadic Travelling Society. (beams proudly as I lean against fence doing the nose trick with mouthful of coffee just taken on board).
