Phil Posted January 26, 2016 Author Share Posted January 26, 2016 Our first date was carried out under the watchful gaze of her family. After her brother had beat me up five times he told the family I wasnt being scared off. His dad then suggested they should meet up with me. It's very much against Romani tradition for a Rom woman to be involved with a Gadjo "Freedom without socialism is privilege and injustice, socialism without freedom is slavery and brutality" - Mikhail Bakunin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

clwydianrange Posted January 26, 2016 Share Posted January 26, 2016 That's a great photo Phil and a lovely story, congratulations. It takes me back to my childhood in the west riding. We lived in a big pea picking area and every summer the vardoes used to arrive and park on the common land and the Romanies used to work in the peas like the rest of us. 5/6d a bag was the last payment as I recall. The only time you see a vardoe now is if someone takes one to Appleby. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hornetto Posted March 18, 2016 Share Posted March 18, 2016 just found this pic of my wife when I first met her, she was out on the road with her brother and some of their family, wifey.jpg Nice. I too have a picture of my other half taken on the day I met her. Never thought it'd be such a momentous day! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hornetto Posted March 18, 2016 Share Posted March 18, 2016 The family vardo is now in the Boswell Romani museum in Spalding My grand-dad's grand-dad was a Romani who came to the North West to dig the canals. He met his wife and stayed. My other half thinks that me being one-sixteenth 'traveller' is hilarious as I live two miles from where I was born and it took her ten years to persuade me to move house - one mile the other side of the village.

Just Browny Posted March 21, 2016 Share Posted March 21, 2016 There's a sort of underlying tension on this thread, with everyone thinking about making this a full-on TRL 'reader's wives' thread but noone willing to jump in first. I can confirm 30+ less sales for Scotland vs Italy at Workington, after this afternoons test purchase for the Tonga match, £7.50 is extremely reasonable, however a £2.50 'delivery' fee for a walk in purchase is beyond taking the mickey, good luck with that, it's cheaper on the telly.
