Maybe that's why they don't get much press, then... |
Why sully their name by comparing them to pikeys then?

Nicely over-generalised broadside there. I am more than aware of the distinctions, but also quite aware that the travellers/gypsies/pikeys that cause the trouble are all quite happy to call themselves gypsies.
Not all hoovers are made by Hoover, yet you'll find most of the population quite happy to refer to them as such. Does not mean we don't know the difference.

You may be more than aware of the distinctions, but you don't seem too bothered about drawing a distinction between the two.
