Travellers on Peckham Rye?

[busybody]

Looks like they're back, by the meadow. And no, I don't mean Zippo's Circus.

[Blah Blah]

Yes, saw them this morning. Southwark will no doubt be already working on the eviction notice.

Previous threads have shown the torn position of locals.

Previous threads have shown the willingness of forum-dwellers to bicker with each other.

So you've started another one so they can do the same again??

[bsand]

Be careful they have powers that come from the midsts of time - and unparalleled clairvoyancy powers that SEE AND HEAR EVERYTHING. A curse from one of the more gifted will haunt you and your family down the ages. YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED.

Something tells me busybody is being a busy body and attempting to stir up controversy

Try harder, busy troll

aye but we are feeding him/her aren't we ?

[Sue]

Hmmm, yes.

First post.

ETA: Joined the forum today. Under this name, anyway .....

[busybody]

Sorry Sue, do I need to have over 17,500 posts on this forum before I can point out something that may be a problem to people who live near me?

...or how utterly tiresome it is that the knee-jerk response of many of the most vocal forumites is a supercilious judgement of the poster, not the post?

[bsand]

There's about 3 caravans and a car and may be related to Zippos in some way. Whatever it isn't a problem so relax the sky ain't falling in whatever Chicken Lickin' says ....

[Robert Poste's Child]

Remember the post last year suggesting they were carrying out animal sacrifices?

[Angelina]

no! that's Forum gold

Howlllllllllllll

[Sue]

I rest my case.

[Angelina]

I think we should be able to rate threads - so people know which ones are

- a waste of time.

- very entertaining

- informative and helpful

- other (to be made up later, as required)

etc....

Are some of us employed by the Kremlin to sew discord in the UK starting in the EDF.

Ah! An opportunity to nitpick spelling :))

[Robert Poste's Child]

I'm sitting on my hands, Sue.

[JohnL]

I don't do much sewing or sowing so I can't really be blamed :)

[spark67]

Was out running on the Rye the other day, I am pretty sure it is the people who work at Zippos, by the way they walked out of the caravans and into the ticket office & one into the tent... could be mistaken though 🤔

[Penguin68]

There is a very large overlap between travellers and fairground folk. In terms of lifestyle as well as people. I think the same may also be true of circus folk - particularly those not actually performing.

[dimples]

They were not part of zippos they were just trying their luck by originally parking up next to zippos for the third time and were told by the circus to leave or the fork lift would remove them so they went across the road .

I did see the police visiting them so I guess I that's why the left pretty quickly !

[zippo]

No these are not related in any way to Zippos Circus
