We are in danger of wandering a little off topic. You did say

I just made the point that if any of the crew asked any questions (whether they require detailed or vague answers) about the travelers income or taxes, they may well be thrown off the camp.

Re: My Big Fat Gypsy Wedding.
 

Well maybe we will be enlightened later in the series..But my response is valid in that not everyone even those with nothing to hide want to discuss their finances with a camera crew.;)

Re: My Big Fat Gypsy Wedding.
 

could summat to do with monies from stolen lead copper wiring ripping of old folk with tarmacing etc thefts from local supermarkets etc

Re: My Big Fat Gypsy Wedding.
 

Could be but then again it maybe like me I they do not care to discuss money with total strangers..and I'm neither a gypsy or a traveller.

Re: My Big Fat Gypsy Wedding.
 

wll its a lot easier to hide monies made from criminal activities when they wont talk about em with the proper authorities ie tax dhss vat council tax dvla you know like everyone else has like i said about time they obeyed the same rules we have to

Re: My Big Fat Gypsy Wedding.
 

By the way was it ever said just how much they were getting paid (or at least what C4 payed them) to have the series about them made etc?. As there cant be a single person on this board who would think they would be part of the program for free.

Re: My Big Fat Gypsy Wedding.
 

why did ywant faces pixelated if they did not do anything unlawful
any way their dressmaker got it right she said that they take no responsibilitie for anything or any blame

Re: My Big Fat Gypsy Wedding.
 

I seen the episode\s where they basically took the ****** out of the dress maker by not giving her the info she needed to make arrangements for the wedding etc lol.

Re: My Big Fat Gypsy Wedding.
 

yup then blamed the dress maker and cost her money she did say that thats wot travellers operate like not the roma as far as i can see

Re: My Big Fat Gypsy Wedding.
 

While I am perfectly well aware of the problems Pikeys can cause (and I use that term to describe those who do obtain things illegally, not general travellers), maybe these guys don't want to get abuse because people suddenly think they are pikeys?

BTW, just because someone has asked that their face be pixellated, it does not follow that they are doing something illegal. It can just mean they are fearful of reprisals from their local community (e.g. a shop keeper talking about some kids who nick stuff from his shop may want his face pixellated because he is frightened they'll do something a lot worse if they know he is talking to a TV crew about them).

Re: My Big Fat Gypsy Wedding.
 

wasa bit suspect when it was mostley younger males tho

Re: My Big Fat Gypsy Wedding.
 

I don't think so. They probably just didn't want to be identified in case they got mocked or bullied at school or college or elsewhere.

Re: My Big Fat Gypsy Wedding.
 

yeah right lol
