I love how they de-emphasize the fact that the men were "travellers". Translation: "professional criminals whose relatives are all professional criminals too".

Gypsies are dark-skinned and Rom European (eastern European) in origin -- the protypical gypsies of big hoop earrings and palm-reading fame.

Travellers are white. Blond, red-headed, brunette, blue-eyed, rosy-cheeked, NO palm reading or any of that exotic stuff, but a lot of ostentatious, Protestant church-going. They are "gypsies" in that they rarely stay in any one place for more than six months, and also in that they are raised from birth to scam, scam, scam.
