Dutch travellers do have a bad name, but they love André Hazes. grin



André Hazes rules lol
Dutch travellers have a bit of a bad name when it comes to organized crime and there are these stories around about police not daring to venture into their area etc... but to be honest there's quite a few of them who live in the Belgian border towns and I never had a problem with them. There's a couple of them that go to the gym I work out and they've always been cool. They're not into the scams of the Irish Travellers and they aren't a public nuisance like a disproportionate amount of the Eastern European Roma gypsies are (petty theft, burgling and robbing old people, breaking and entering homes...).
