It's hard to say, I don't think most people have a clear idea of who they really are. It's Brad Pitt from the movie Snatch. Or Eddie Izzard in The Riches. I think most people view them negatively. Which is a shame because they are just people with a bad reputation. Perhaps it is deserved. Or perhaps they are misunderstood and people tend to hate what they don't understand.
Being a gypsy is a way of life that is deeply rooted in their sense of place. And that place is about wandering. This is probably a complicated concept for most.
You have to be careful using the term pikey, because many Irish travellers find it incredibly offensive and will f*ck you up. To them, it's like a racial slur.
