What had they in the pram they were bringing on board? Hard to understand why they were in Beauvais of all places.
Beauvais is thronged with them.
Thatâs what struck me in the first place, itâs not really a typical holiday destination
Maybe they were tarmacking drive ways out there.
Thereâs loads of travellers in France ffsâŚ
They were visiting their spiritual cousins in the Calais Jungle.
Arras is full of tinkers. It wouldnât be too far from Beauvais

Tarmac wouldnât be as popular in France Iâd say. Would they be any use to lay a few paving slabs or a bit of gravel
There might be a good market for useless generators.

Interesting puff piece on the folklore of travellers on RTE 1 now.
The auld travellers seem to be grand divils.
Youâd still hear the phrase âdirty tarâ as a term for slut.
2000 travellers in Knock Sunday as a 14 year old boy claimed he was having visions. Seems the Mayo air got to him and he did not deliver the goods.
Iâd say there was some amount of robberies carried out up there, no point letting the entire trip be a waste of time.

Second episode of this on now.
Itâs good watching.
Watching the first episode back now⌠Itâs interesting enough⌠For all the bad associated with them, be a shame to lose the language/stories etc. etc⌠one thing I noticed a lot of when reading pre-Famine newspapers was that the traditions we associate with travellers today were carried out by and were every day common practice among the general rural public before the Famine and law and order sorted the country out.
Robbing and fucking people over?
