I left the North, I travelled South.... Hello! lou, 30, living in North London with the luscious Rallen, but originally from the North West. A girl with a thorn in my side, my main loves are good food, fine wine, BDSM and cats. Semi-retired from Moz-solo, I check in occasionally to check the journals of good friends. Not drowning anymore...

I got 43% pikey!!!

There is no hope for you - you are well and truly an escapee from Pikey Island. You will now forever be known as first name “pikey pikey do as ya likey” surname. You think that Blue Nun is a choice wine and always cook Spag Bol at dinner parties. None of your home cutlery matches and a few of your mugs have established chipping to the handles. Every room in your house is painted Magnolia and you have a dado rail in your living room. You name your children after pop or filmstars and buy the Sunday Sport as an informative newspaper. Your car is made by Ford and has fag burns on the driver seat. You’ve only been to Spain on holiday.

Dammit.

    but if you leave here, you leave me broken, shattered, I lie. We're just a crosshair, just a shot, then we can die.
  • ....'do you have working class tendancies' would have been more accurate?

    Where I comes from, a pikey is the lowest of the low, as in total pikerama! As in like, caravan home thieving scumbags bad.

    Innit!

    if lifes road was a shallow ditch and people understood me, im quite sure they would bury me alive. yeah life's a bitch.
  • I can answer yes to some of those questions, but here "pikey" means the same as "gypo". As in lowest-of-the-low car-robbing smackheads, which I'm not, even if I was working class until I was 17 (then my Mum got a good job, ha ha).

  • Got 9, that's not too gypo is it? Actually screw-top on good wine is quite the thing nowadays.

    Re: Gypo. British census forms in Wales and Northern Ireland must be available in Welsh, Irish and Scots-Irish to keep all our gibbering illiterate minorities happy or whatever the PC term is for them. Unfortunately, Scots-Irish has no PC term for "member of the travelling community" the nearest Scots-Irish term being Gypo (I shit you not). Sadly our glorious civil service decided that this simply wouldn't do and a totally fictitious word was promptly invented.
