You usually find the pikeys living in caravans or trailers on public parks or grass verges in residential areas. Obviously this is illegal.
My first memory of the pikeys was when I was with my parents at a pub when I was about 8. I met a kid of a similar age outside who came from the caravan on the grass outside the pub and my parents took me away and we went home. I think they warned me about it.
Then that family I mentioned who got a house on our road. The kids were vicious, Dirty and threw stones at us. At one place my sister lived, I think either the council or the residents had dug around the grass to stop vehicles being able to drive on it and there has been so much trouble over it all in other local parks near here. The residents are really getting fed up with it all because they leave mess, are rude and can be dangerous. It's understandable.
