For me I can't tell Romanians from Bulgarians or Albanians, Georgians, or Serbo Croats.....

Or borders from boarders apparently!

Damn predictive sex...

It’s not an actual ASBO, it’s the dogs name. Many people with pit-bull type aggressive looking dogs often name them things like ASBO, Killer, Jaws etc;
And before all the pit bull type dog owners start, I know they are often very placid friendly dogs but they DO look aggressive!

How do you know they’re ‘Romanian’? The ‘Roma’ or ‘Romany’ gypsies are from all over the place, Italy, Bulgaria, France etc; there are twice as many from Turkey than from Romania for example.

Yes ‘Romany’ people may have common identifiable features but these certainly wouldn’t indicate their country of origin or residence.

Because I talk to them and they told me they are Romianian, they just normal people with different views and outlooks on life and different perceptions of values , not everyone wants more and more, some just want to live bye any means, altho I don't agree with some of there views, one of them works for local ayumento, and is a good grafter, and they always have there dogs on a leshe, when walking them, unlike many if the know it all brits ,they the rumianians seem to train?there dogs and children to respect ther elders from what I've seen,
Weras the brits just train there dogs and let there kids run wild and feral.
Roma , Irish (gypsies)as you call them etc you don't need to lecture me I've mixed and lived with them ,to call Roma , gypsies is an insult to them, .

Weres the village?
Callosa? Do you mean

Good on you Gustav. I often see the term Irish gypsies but we have "Travellers" in Ireland. That is what they officially wish to be called and have now been recognised officially as an ethnic minority.

Romany gypsies (or Gitanos) have been coming to Spain for centuries. They came from North Africa and the name derives from their origins in Egypt. Reckoned to be about 700 to 750, 000 of them in Spain with smaller groups in Portugal.

Romanians, on the other hand, are a different race and started coming to Spain much more recently since Romania joined the EU in 2007. They were given a block of a few years before being allowed to live in Spain. Prior to that, they were only allowed to enter for 3 months if they could show they could support themselves.

Now reckoned to be over 600,000 Romanians living in Spain which is about double the amount of Brits registered as residents.
