They call themselves the Irish Travellers and speak with a thick brougue although to my knowledge the closest anyone of them has been to Ireland is the Carolina compound called Murphy Village, a closed community. Their plates will be from anyone of the south east states, although they all live in that one huge gated compound and never marry from outside of that compound, nor go to school. I've had run ins with those guys all the way back to the early '70's when the Elkhart, IN. was the RV capitol of the world and they'd always come buy new trailers to live and travel in with their new overloaded 1/2 ton pickups. Those guys are bad news. My first dealing with them was when a friend of mine asked me to help me clean the outside of one of their tar coated pickups because the guy promised to pay us well. Honestly, we were about 12 or so and the guy made us unload every piece of equipment and tank in the back of the truck, and clean the tar off of every inch of it, pointing out the slightest spots, and when we were done, and it took us all day, he paid us 25 cents each...a quarter a piece. I swear to God. When I was older, 16, I worked at a gas station after school, and they'd always come in and ask for $1 worth of gas, and after pumping them the $1 worth of gas, they'd always hand me no less than a $20 to break for them, and often $50 bill to break for $1 worth of gas. After a few times of that, they started getting back the change in dimes, quarters, and $1 bills.
Typical last names of the Irish travellers are Toogoods, Burkes, Carols, Daleys, Gallaghers, Gormans, Jennings, McDonalds, McNalleys, and Reillys.
Those guys are bad bad news. They are gypsies and will steal a store blind, or buy merchandise and then take it back, after switching it with a cheap piece of junk. I could go on, and on, and on with true stories of my dealings with the gypsies, but nothing tops my advise of just avoiding them like the plague and saving yourselves a lot of needless grief. They are experts at shell games, bate and switch, and are fulltime con artists. Their reputation precedes them with and for good reason. Do a Google Search for "Irish Travell Murphy Village" and see what you come up national news story wise.

Today's Featured Article - A Cautionary Tale - by Ian Minshull. In the early 1950s my father bought an Allis Chalmers B and I used it for all the row crop work with the mangolds and potatoes, rolling and the haymaking on our farm. The farm and the Allis were sold and I have spent a lifetime working on farms throughout the country. I promised myself that one day I would own an Allis. That time event
