Romanians have caravans and are not to be trusted.
Romanians are from the country of Romania ….. Surely ?

And your point is..??
Good morning ! I have no interest in point scoring. Terry.
However, I just wanted to say …
I think you may have meant Romany ? As in Romany people …

My point about Romanians owning caravans was a ‘generalisation’ which is what this thread is about.
Theonly person interested in ‘point scoring’ seems to be panda.6 July, 2012 at 9:11 am #499929my ex-boss had a caravan.
He used to drive to his little caravan parek with his little family and sit in his caravan with them. They looked at one another all day long as the rain pitter-pattered or thud-thudded on the roof, and often they watched the television. Home from home.
Then he’d put his caravan back on the car hook and drive back to his little home with his little family.
Many people have caravans and do the same.
They drive their cars and find that by turning the circular object they hold in their hands, it turns the carwheels and, yes, the car turns right and then turns left, and he was so clever that he drove his little family safely wherever they wanted to go..even into the caravan field.
My ex-boss is clever and looks down on romanians and romanies coz they live in caravans.
6 July, 2012 at 12:01 pm #499930Hi Terry.
Yes I understand the generalisation aspect .. I wanted to indicate there is a difference between Romanians and Romanies… as often people get the two groups confused.
“Different ethnic group and culture. Romanians are an ethnic nation who speak Romanian.
Romany is Gypsy. They live in many countries and have their own language.”Btw the term gypsy was first used as they were thought to originate from Egypyt.
:lol:

:lol:When I started this thread it was to point out the shortcomings of people that generalise about others.
They always get it wrong. I mean come on; the Brtis are lazy and the Poles are hard working?6 July, 2012 at 3:12 pm #499933I think terry should stop making a bee line for panda…………it happens on every thread he adds to……….and it’s always terry that starts the goading………we do read and digest the posts man……….face it………..she’s way smarter than you…..stop trying to trip her up
