I am now officially a 'Gypsy/Traveller'

I think its all about politics. If there's one thing i'm learning to do in this job, it's probably to speak up more when things are rubbish. And because i'm a foreigner I can get away with doing it in a less subtle manner. Plus I can be totally objective about it. Well almost anyway..."In NZ we go about this particular like this...". I now appreciate the Resource Management Act for its organisational qualities at least. The thing that sums England up is this: "Why don't we produce a plan for this really good idea?!" OK now we've got the plan, we seem to have run out of money to do anything with the plan. Oh well. Let's do another one. We've got no money? Shall we head down t'pub then?

I can going to be a grey haired alcoholic by the time I leave here. Unless I go tomorrow...ahhh the freedom to be will o' the wisp. I was filling out some form the other day and it wanted to know what nationality I was - White English, White European, White Other...or Gypsy/Traveller. That was definitely my category.
