I am so glad that this morning happened and the chance to start again has come. I have bought some more plastic storage box's which i am picking up on Wednesday, then i can finish the packing. Once i have dismantled the bed, sofa and emptied the tool cupboard then everything is packed. I shall give my home a clean then leave all items ready for putting in to a trailer once i have bought one.^, 

I have lots of agricultural and commercial vehicle magazines to look through, i have been looking through them lately to get an idea of what they cost and what i will be expected to pay. I have bought a plastic cover that will will protect my nearly new mattress. 

I try my hardest to buy second hand, so that my involvement in the manufacturing process will be as minimal as i can get it. This is not done to comply with the media's threat of the world ending due to the human impact on global warming, i do this because of my culture, being a Romany Gypsy, my family have thrived on what the white man throw away society discards and if they can get away with saving money where others would spend it, i could bet my life that is what they will do. 

The reason i referred to people as white men is because Romany Gypsies do not class themselves as white men, they class themselves as Romany Gypsies, which is why non-Gypsies are referred to as gorgers by Gypsies, as gorgers derives from the Indian word gora, which means white man and Gypsies originate from Punjab, North India.

The middle to upper class white man of the western world were a key role in my Grandfather's and grandmother's netting their multi million pound fortune in the 30s-40s and 50s, My grandparents on my father's side would gather all that was thrown away and re-sell it, weigh it in if it was metal or rags or use it so they never had to buy, basically they not only lived for free they were paid to live, simply because they didn't let pride get in the way of living, they were genuinely ready to sieve through the muck and people were to lazy to fix things. People think that this culture invented the throw away society, no my friends, people with more money that sense created the throw away society.

As much money as my grandparents had, they lived the poor man's mindset, as opposed of today's society that enables poor people to live with the mindset that they are rich, because the white man could nit grasp this concept it would cause a lot of hate towards my family because of a lack of understanding that life can be lived a different way, jealousy would also play a part as my family were driving mercedez when the majority of the public could not afford a horse, to this day we still receive the same prejudice because people are not willing to do what we do and only know how to flow through life as society tells them, born, live, work, borrow, pay back, die, now if thats how gougers choose to live, then live it and let the people who choose to live different way, live their way.

It was quite ironical for me at school, as the children of middle class white people would bully me for being a smell, dirty pykey and yet just one persons wealth in my family could buy out their complete family. My family never had bank accounts and could never understand why they would give their hard earned money to a stranger to look after, their wealth was spread out, owning land, property, gold, vehicles, literally holes would be dug and filled with cash, i remember as a child going to buy a grab lorry with my father in the early 80s, the lorry way £27,000, which in the early 80s was a lot of money, the guy in the showroom lock us in and called the police, crazy huh. Today, it is illegal to carry £500 if you can not prove where you got it from, now how crazy is that?

Now, i understand why Gypsies have a bad name, and i will tell  you for free that it is not because of the behaviour from the Romany Gypsy, just as all white men in GB can not be classed as the same, all Gypsies can not be classed the same, there are lots of different types of gypsies as there are lots of different white people, all it takes is a little bit of understanding so that all Gypsies do not classed the same. 

I mean people white people will talk Romany and not even no they are, Del boy from only fools and horses says "cushdy" "Kushty bok" is a Romany word, it means "good luck" people also say "mush" meaning mouth "mush" is a Romany word that means "man", "cosh" is a Romany word that means "stick", "pal" derives from the Romany "phral" which means "brother", you may of heard Danny Dyer say "mullered", that is a Romany word that comes from "muller" which means "to kill", "scran" derives from the Romany word "satan" which means "to eat", "skip" is a Rommany word meaning "basket",  "gibberish" derives from the Romany "jib" meaning "tongue" or "language", "lollipop" is a Romany word which derives from "loli phabai" meaning "red apple" the Romany tradition of selling candy apples on a stick, Romanies created what are known now as "toffee apples","nark" "togs" "wonga" "dick" Div" "gavver" "chav" "bar" are all Romany words, i could go on but i do not want to.

I wish that there could be a tv show that would teach people this about Romany Gypsies as opposed to rubbish they show about "my big fat Gypsy wedding" which is a load of nonsense, that's not a gypsy thing, that's a Jordan thing, Katy Price started that trend and gypsies simply copied it, i also wish that people would not be so gullible and judge a race based on what a tv program tells them.
