Nah, those are pikies. Gyppos if we wanna use British terminology. Completey different from Eastern European gypsies. I guess there isn't a huuuge difference but..
Imagine someone with a Hindu sorta swathed turban with a gem in it, telling fortunes with a count Dracula voice. That's different from brad Pitt selling a caravan.
Thanks, that reply means alot to me. Tracing my 1/4 irish heritage i have several times run across the statement "the irish 'travelers' are not like the european gypsies. They are different and to be respected." No explanation why this is remembered and passed down 150 years after the fact.
