I played football at the 5-a-side center at Woodburn Road(formally Pitz soccer) tonight.

I noticed that adjacent to the site, lots of travellers have set up with caravans. The cars that accompany the travellers have what looks like french registration plates. Can anyone shed any light on this subject ?

Could you hear if they were using phrases like " top de la matin a vous " , "oh deJasus " or " venez ici le testicle d'un donkey "?

Are you sure they wernt Irish number plates, they are quite european looking.

Point taken. Spotted an old citroen with black number plates, put two and two together,


guess what, i came up with cinq.


thanks for your help.

making derogatory insinuations against the dear old french. expect six of the best, or detention at the very least.

Maybe they are doing a continental market somewhere nearby

I liked what you wrote very much. Very funny ! I am French and I would have never expected French people settling with caravans in Sheffield. When I was at school, I used to have an English friend whose parents came to our village by caravan. They had be living for 3 years with their 3 daughters in the caravan, building themself a house. After this time their money may have run out because they travelled back to England without finishing the house. Well I would say, we all are a bit odd, arn't we ?

PS. I noticed that very few English cars have the Europeen flag on there immatriculation plate but in my opinion this is an exception in Europe. There are still some black immatriculation plates in France but I think these are old cars. I know Polish cars also have a black immatriculation plate, looking quite the same as the old French ones but they also are changing for the europeen standard.
