My paternal grandfather's mother was a Gypsy and my husband's maternal grandmother was too. My lot were china riveters, chair caners and catchers and sellers of wild songbirds and my husband's were much posher with china shops in the Cotswolds.
It's not something which often arises in conversation but when it does there seems to be a more than 50% chance that whoever I tell also has some Gypsy forebears, for example one of my sons in law I recently discovered and a neighbour at our old house. I wondered if anyone reading this shared a Gypsy inheritance too - I wouldn't be at all surprised.
C'mon, fess up and then we can swap curses :O)
