I can imagine the Court Hearing now.

Defence cross examining the Pikey Accusor

'So Mr Dingle, can you ever think of a time when traditional Gypsies sold clothes pegs door to door'

'Well Sir I do recall that in the 60's and 70's Gypsy women and children did sell things door to door'

'So Mr Dingle, could those things have been clothes pegs by any chance ?'

'Well yes I suppose you could be correct in that assumption'

'So my client Mr Brush was actually just stating a historical fact then'

'Well now you put it like that sir I can see where you're coming from.... de ye wanna buy a daag ?'


Judge summing up 'You there.. take your clothes pegs, take your lucky heather and your daaag and shove them up yer arse !'

'Mr Brush you are free to go....'
