Still searching for gypsy answers
In the following week’s letters page was one from L Smith headed ‘Answers to John’s gypsy questions’.
Although I replied to that letter it was not published, so I am trying again, because L Smith (a gypsy who has lived on land at the Telham Lane/Powdermill Lane junction for some few years, and where her planning application is yet to be agreed) is not the sort of gypsy I was referring to, and she knows it, and thus her answers do not apply.
