Yep. Sometimes very cunning bar stewards.
One got into our works and made off with about £15k worth of test motors. Audacious to say the least. A long story but the thief convinced my workshop foreman that the motors had to be moved from one of our buildings to the other.

You seem to be inferring that is apocryphal. It isn't.

So I will fill in some details.
At the time, we had two buildings on the same road and we were moving our equipment from one to the other.

A guy in a pick up truck stopped at one entrance to the workshop and talked to the chap who was operating a sandblaster, claimed he had come to pick up some motors to move to the other building. The sandblaster told the guy in the PU truck that he would need to speak to the boss and his wife.

The sandblaster meant his boss. Different division of the company. Different boss. Different wife.

Then the truck went round to the opposite side of the building and the guy talked to my workshop foreman with the tale that the boss and his wife had told him to move said motors.
Sounded plausible - I'm his boss, my wife worked with me, and the motors were part of the assets for my division.

Even worse, he helped the guy load the motors. When the truck drove out of our works, it turned in the wrong direction and headed away from both our buildings.......with our motors.

I did hear of a case of some theives in a substation tried nicking a load of stuff including part of the station earthing. They then caused the protection to kick in, including the earth fault thrower, thief was now in circuit...

Some of the thieving gits gained entry into a sub round our way the other night. Luckily for them they realised they were in a potentially very bad place and left without doing any damage. Either to the sub or themselves.

Dingle, I don't remember saying anything of the sort. I've been back over this to check and I can't see any evidence of me saying what you claim I did.
Can you please stop responding to my posts or quoting me (either properly or misquoting)
I'm quite capable of calling people idiots, I don't need you to help me.
Now, as I've said to you before. Put me on your ignore list.
You#re on mine and there is nothing you can ever say or do that will get you off it. I only knew what you said because someone quoted you.
As far as I'm concerned you are lower than a snake's testicles.

Yup very true, I had a maintenance contract at 4 traveller sites for over 2 years and got quite friendly with some of them, they certainely open your eyes lol, there was one or two genuine romanies on the sites and they are completely different people, the travellers far more outgoing and the romanies very quiet, I saw some things I can tell you lol.

i know a little about them but romani gypies are more traditional for a start where as gypsies tend to be more flamboyant and showoff a lot more

Ignore him, according to the thread about him in the 3000 club he is on a very high percentage of the members here ignore lists so hardly anyone can read what he is typing, it is only you quoting his posts which gets attention.

He speculated, same as you just did. If he was being racist in doing so then you are being equally abusive against him. I suggest you drop the trolling for an argument/attention or whatever it is you're seeking

All I have said is my name is not dingleberry as he is having a go at me personally .please reread the thread

Um no, you started it, you re-read the thread, the dingleberry bit only appeared a couple of posts back, you jumped on me, as you do most of the time, you accused trev of slating me when he didn't and you suggested I always accuse Pikey's of being thieves, I have looked back at my last 200 posts and cannot see one where I mention it at all, so you are trolling for trouble, thats why Marvo clipped your horse shoes, I know when to leave it, and this will be my last post to you on the matter so the team here do not have any more hassle on the thread, unless you keep it going.

The thing is today is the scrap yards do not give out cash, they put the money into a bank account to stop fraud, so if the police ask around the local scrap metal yards they may have some details on who put the metal in to be weighed and sold.

I just had a look online and one man has been convicted of using the word, however another was released by a judge who said it isn't a racist word, there are several arguments going on whether legal or not. That said as you think it is illegal and it could be considered offensive I will not use the word here again, I will use the word traveller if it ever comes up again, The whole thing blown out of control on another ordinary thread which wouldn't have been anything other than a discussion if it wasn't for trolling, apologies in anycase, the last thing I wanted tonight was to cause you lot any grief, and on that note I am logging out for the evening.

You have a lot of posts to your name so, kudos for that.
I'm a relatively new kid on the block.
But your comment above reminds of the kind of spats my grandchildren have.
They don't live close but we get to keep them for a week or so at a time which makes the 200 mile round trip worth while.

The last was a couple of months ago.
Younger, aged two, came running into the kitchen........
"She hit me!"
"No I didn't!
"She's just a liar!"

That from the two year old.

But that's what your spat sounds like. She did it, she did it........

Perhaps we can be a might be a little more mature than a two-year old child........
