Just seen on the other forum that the beausjour campsite is currently the home to a large encampment of caravan's and "travellers" so glad we are not camping there this year.

For those, if any, wondering what we're talking about atm, "travelers" in french is gens du voyage. I know you'll find other translations but…

In the UK you are no longer allowed to call them anything but "travellers" if you do then you get called a lot worse by the internet police.

i’m sure the matter will be, erm, “taken care of” and they’ll be encouraged to seek alternative parking. i’m sure they’re peaceful, law abiding people but their neighbours are about to get REALLY noisy |

They are also named "gipsys". I know some of them, who wear their heart on their sleeves Maybe at Beauséjour they are early for the 24 and, why not, the return of Mercedes

Tout a fait d'accord avec vous, Michel Vaillant. I also know some of them, really nice people. As you say, may be they are on site for the fête foraine. What would be Le Mans and the Dunlop curve without la grande roue, I wonder?!

the two posts from vince and michel contain words that are very much considered slurs or insults in the uk. so if you find yourself over here, don’t use them

Can you imagine how people who live in Gypsy Hill London feel when they see all the sign posts taken down for being offensive, we live in a mad world for sure.

i mean, the way it works globally is that if a community didn’t give itself that name, it was given by outsiders then it’s not appropriate. that doesn’t seem hugely out of order to me. the place name is a tricky one and i’m pretty sure travelling people who still live in a certain way are happy with being called that same word but generally it’s not a great word to call them.
you’ll have to pry “frogs” out of my cold dead hands though |

Exactly, it's more offensive if someone more superior gives them that nickname. I'm not one for PC, but there is a limit. It's a tricky one though, depends what the actual meaning of the place is and if was never meant to cause offence. Probably best left up to the authorities

Time to move on now I reckon.
Albeit I'm taking it as a decent sign that travel panic has turned into... whatever that was. |

Well as there was no news today on changes to travel we have to pass the time some how.

yeah i’m deeply unimpressed with the people on 119 so far, they’ve given me two dodgy bits of intel now
no travel panic as such, we’re all just figuring out how to weave the nonsense into our 24 hours as seamlessly as possible. right up until they move the goalposts again. when we go back to normal it’s all going to seem very dull and uneventful isn’t it |
