Treat it like an annual weed ... or is that a perennial? ... or maybe like horse tail?

Sh .... stuff.. happens, bounce back, it's worth it on the whole

If all else fails then load your shotgun of choice with salt and shoot the * :|

Don't want to be politically incorrect here, but while we're on the subject of "travellers"...... two of them beat up my son in law on Sat night and broke his jaw in two places.
He is, as I write, in surgery to have it screwed and plated, and then wired for 6 weeks.
He'd just started a new job last week.
Thanks a flipping lot

Lightyears - so sorry to hear about your plot and shed. When I rule the world they won't get shot but made to be your personal slave on the plot, picking the nettles with their bare hands and digging out the brambles with their teeth. They will also get to watch you eat all the gorgeous produce from the plot but never taste a morsel!
And that will be because their broken jaw has been wired shut. Sorry about your SIL but I didn't think that we were on the topic of travellers, just stupid, destructive idiots with so little in their lives they need to take from others to make any impact at all in the world.

We have Romany and Traveller members on these forums and I'm sure the ones I know would do none of the things mentioned here.

It's very upsetting when people disrespect people and property so. But as Kate said we must carry on and get back on top otherwise the "sweet little cherubs" win :twisted:

Aunt Sal that is exactly the difference "we have Romany and Traveller members on these forums". The ones we know wouldn't do these things and the term pikies refers to them who would and do! and were first called pikies by there own, which was when they were ostracized by there own. Never the less sorry to here of the vandalism, sadly allotments are a target always have been and dare say always will be :evil: keep your chin up

I know that Jack and I hope that Novice and the other people who read this topic do too.

Unfortunately The term can only to easily be used by the uneducated to brand all travellers.

A vandal is a vandal regardless of creed or culture.

Our allotments have to be made safe so that vandals do not hurt themselves!!!

i think i should make a clear point hear, no travellers or romaneys even thought of when dealing with this, pikie round this way refers to nasty chav type kids. if i have caused any offence to travellers etc i sincerly apologise and hope you understand my cause, i have edited my post title aswell

And after a long phone call to the police they are finally interested as i have some evidence for them( a big pair of bolt cutters and a wrench). plus i convinced the others who got broke into to report it aswell.

Well done lightyears :!:

I hope the police catch the "little darlings" and show them the error of their ways. They'll probably send them to Euro Disney instead but I still live in hope :roll:

Either that or arrest you for holding onto their bolt croppers ! :roll:

Lightyears
Im so sorry to hear your tale of woe. Keep your chin up.

I know I've been alert to the kiddies this holidays, because we've been warned that this is when vandalism mainly strikes our site. Luckily we have a nice big gate and fence, and a nondescript shed that doesnt look much even to wreck!

If it happened to me though, I would call the police and follow it up..we have a bobby that is responsible for our site posted up on the mesage board, so could contact her direct

Good luck with it, and if all else fails, lay some lovely spikey snappy traps
