Widely known as Irish gypsies residing in Ireland and also in the UK. My Irish nan used to tell my mum that if she was naughty one evening that she would "leave her outside for the tinkers", as it was said that they stole children.
Another meaning of tinkers is esctasy pills.

"got any tinkers?" or "tinkers, tinkers, anyone wanna buy any tinkers?" as some drug dealers in nightclubs in the South East of England would say.

Irish scum. The lowest form of traveller. Sadly people (including me) generally still refer to them as gypsies, which they are not. If they were they might actually be human beings.
Also labelled as 'pikies' when they enter town and when they do make sure you lock everything and hide anything of value away, including scrap metal.
Have a habit of one of them trying to sell you the stolen goods from the last village while his mates are round the back stealing all your stuff to sell at the next.
Think that they have some god given right to inflict themselves upon normal honest folk while raping our council tax fund for handouts and free facilities, instead of paying to use a camp site like everyone else.

Irish gypsies. often referred to as dirty by romani gypsies - the original gypsy ppl not just some person who has decided to live in a caravan. A romani gypsy will have a very distinctive look, usually olive sking long dark hair and wears excessive amounts of gold jewellery.
