What Was This About

[jennyjoan]

Had occasion to go over to side of town and being at a shop called WyseByse- there must have been 13-14 Romanians stacking up their back of their van with flowers, jardiniers, plants roll ups mats,. mattresses, bedding - all brand new - they weren't stealing as this was 1.00 pm. Must had plenty a money. P==may be their dole money 0- weren't from same family (mind you they look the same). Puts me right off giving them anymore.

Sorry JJ, I have read that a few times and it makes little sense!

[jennyjoan]

time for me for bed - good night LOL

[RATTER15]

Also, many Romanians do work, I know a few very well and they are very hard workers, maybe they were market traders? or... are all Romanians scavengers in your eyes?

[EDDIE51]

The most racist remark I have seen in years!
Just for a start how do you know they were Romanians or that they were 'on the dole'. If they were buying from a shop the items would be 'brand new' unless it was a charity shop.

I started a reply and deleted it .... outrageous.

Jenny....How do you know they were Romanians ? Perhaps they had jobs, unlike a lot of our own dole bludgers ?

And what business is it of yours what others spend their money on ?

Next time you go to Tesco, would you be happy about a stranger hanging about making notes ?

I would respectfully suggest that you mind your own business in the future !

Eddie, "Just for a start how do you know they were Romanians or that they were 'on the dole'."

because...."(mind you they look the same)" or so it appears!

[naomi24]

I've no idea why you thought they were Romanians particularly, but whoever they were they were probably stocking up for a business they're running.

Are you OK jj ?

[mikey4444]

Same question from me JJ....this isn't your normal self.

[fiction-factory]

Sounds to be just like a bit of enterprise. I know some small shop keepers for example will buy the bargains in bulk from places like Asda, Home Bargains etc and then sell them in corner shops for twice the price

[aelmpvw]

if they were dressed like this it would explain jennyjoan's assumption ...

Seriously disgusting - I hope JJ comes back and explains what she meant as it is not reading at all well at the moment!

[naomi24]

Islay, for goodness sake stop being disgusted, offended, etc., at every opportunity.

[viv41]

Lol naomi !

[Bathsheba]

Not funny, PP....I have always enjoyed JJ's post, and stating she is Irish doesn't have any bearing on her post. Are you insinuating that the Irish are "less intelligent"?

Maybe too early for me to make a post - so apologies to anyone who was offended.
