They're not Romani aka ethnic "gypsies", are they? The Romani originally immigrated from India.
How do you have a separate Celtic(?) ethnic group roaming the British isles?

The Irish Travellers. They call themselves Pavee, and a offensive name for them is Pikey or Tinker. |

Good question.
The short answer is that you don't. My wife is part gypsy and looks down on me because I am part Traveller. It is her belief that the Roma were itinerant crafts men and women earning a honest living on the rolling English road. I, she assures me, am descended from thieving Irish travellers and only arrived in England because the Cork constabulary suggested, very firmly, that grandfather leave the Emerald Isle and seek his fortune else.
A Pikey is a general term for a gypsy or traveller. Or at least it is in my part of the world.

Were you employed throughout your life at one location for long periods? Did you box members of other clans? Did you retain the traveller lifestyle? |

To Septics everything is an offensive ethnic slur. But Monkey is just a northern nonce so just ignore the ignorant fucker. |

I was at sea for the first 8 years of my life so I did a bit of travelling, but a ship's cabin was always a lot more comfortable than a gypsy vada. I did a bit of scraping when I was younger because that is what youngsters do. But as the years go by I realised that I looked a bit of a dick, so I stopped.
And sod the travellers' lifestyle, which is largely narrow and poverty stricken.

Lizzie Higgins was a Traveler. Interesting people. Unfairly maligned. |
