OH MY GOD!!!!! Watched it with H2B so commenting now then reading all your comments to see if I missed anything....
First time H2B has watched it and he said it was an eye-opener!! He got a bit angry about the "grabbing" and said that's why travellers get a bad name and likened it to raping saying there will be a huge backlash about this til I explained that they showed grabbing in the first episode 3 WEEKS AGO and the only thing about the show that has been in the papers for getting a "backlash" was when a 6-yr old girl got spray-tanned last week!!!!!! Not only that, although this grabbing seems quite bad, once they are in a relationship, a traveller couple will be chaperoned everywhere and at all times until they are married and never left alone so there is never anything even close to sex before marriage and he calmed down then!! lol. I absolutely LOVED Bridgets dress, that was absolutely BEAUTIFUL!!! Can't help feeling sorry for her mum though, who is going to look after her now?? But hat's off to her for getting out of her marriage and I think she has done an amazing job at raising her kids. I feel really sorry for the first girls sister (can't remember her name! lol.), she seemed really upset at having to take over the running of the house and I can't help but wonder where the mum is?? I know the eldest unmarried daughter will help in running the house and the kids but isn't the mum supposed to do some too??? xxx

i know you say how can it take so long to clean a small caravan but the clean absolutly everything in it everysingle day bedding, inside the cubards fridges everything in there gets took out and cleaned so it does take a while and i think briget had a challet didnt she????? I no some people think its a shame the way they live but i would change my life for the world i went out saturday for the 1st time in 3 years and if i want to go 2 tescos i always ask my h2b 1st i couldnt just go

CommentAuthorMumble83
Cheers Abi. You are our inside woman and can answer all our questions. lol. Am I right about the mum should be doing most of it then?? Or at least some?? Bridget had a house. I don't necessarily think it's a shame that thats the way they live and I understand that it is a way of life just like women in Africa will walk miles to get decent water, it's a shame for us but it's a way of life for them and the way they see it, they are lucky to even get it so are not bothered about walking to get it but Marget looked really upset about her life changing, that's what I found a shame. Were you Grabbed Abi?? BTW, the cake is absolutely stunning but I could never have anything like that. lol. xx
CommentAuthorAbi4tomboy
well the mother will do her traileer n challet normaly and the eldest child theres n the childrens oh i thought hers was the one with the pillers outside?? yes i suppose it is a shame for her but if shescoming out of school then shes going to have to help around the home they wont allow her to just sit home instead. no i wasnt grapped and my h2b wouldnt still be here if i was lol.
yes the cake looked lovely didnt it
CommentAuthorAbi4tomboy
i have posted a link on my wall or i can post it on yours if you want to listen about how most travellers are very upset over the programe as its only showing irish travellers please have a listten it 15mins long but very good for people to hear
CommentAuthormitch2509
just listened to it hun, very heated debate... but very interesting hun, especally the grabbing bit !!
CommentAuthorluvlifejen (mrs berr
i didnt like the cake thought it was so OTT defo not me at all
i've watched each week and thought OMG how can ppl live like this and be happy and simply now i think THERE NOT! looking at last night episode the only reason they live how they do is coz there made to
hats off to the girl in north wales noleen i think her name is she's doing what she wants and got her education how unreal 16 ppl went on a day out and only 1 can read and write?!?!?! awful!
then the groom didnt want to be seen on camera and i wont say what i think the reason is but i dont think it was the reason he gave!!
i felt so sorry for that little girl who now has to leave school and take over the cleaning :( no life at all for children!
bridget and bridget was so sad :( she didnt really look happy at all at the prospect of leaving her mum mum bridget did amazingly bringing up her children her eldest daughter is an asset to her!!
i think the whole meeting and grabbing thing is a disgrace no one batted an eye lid when that girl was carried out screaming from the wedding reception or when another one was having her hair pulled etc... i'd kill if that was my daughter!! (so boys beware haha) xx

the grabbing is awful!! i would never put up with that!!
as for the children doing the cleaning why cant the mum do it...where are they? that groom who had his hands in his pockets didnt even look like he wanted to get married but neither did bridget look like she wanted to.
i think the reason why the groom didnt want his face on tele was to do with his business because although i have nothing against travellers i was a receptionist in an answering service call centre and alot of the clients were travellers and they were so rude to us all the time and we would have customers moaning about the work not done properly and the travellers were never seen again!! so i do think that if people saw his face and knew he was a travler then he wouldnt get so much work. alot of the customers who had work done by them were older people and i dont think they realised that they were travellers, xx

it can be really hard - i am not surprised in the slightest that he wanted to remain anonymous

no, thats true!! i did feel sorry last week for them when they were being kicked out of their home and they were carrying that woman xx
CommentAuthorlovelylainee
she wasn't even a traveller just someone helping them and protesting that they get to keep their houses!
I don't think I could live their lifestyle but then if that is what you are used to it would be like me always having lived how i do now! x

i agree with part of how they are brought up to respect their elders as a lot of people arnt these days but it is extreme how 13 year olds are treated having to clean all day every day.
do the boys leave school at a young age to? xx
CommentAuthorlovelylainee
I don't think they do - they have to go out and get teh jobs and do the work - most of the time it is trades like electricians, plumbing, panel beating cars etc. so there is no pressure on them to be at home as they are not the housekeepers like the wives and women!

CommentAuthorAbi4tomboy
yes the boys leave school ealry to but the leave to go to work and as for jobs the common jobs are scrap metal, tree surgons handyman servies and garden matinance as the dont have quilifations the ones lainee mentioned you need qualifications for so theyre not common ones :D
i think a few to many of you are taking the show to literaly as thats not the way we live, yes i clean and cook alday but thats my choice so is it every womans choice if they want to get a job they wouldnt be stopped but i want to be a stay at home mother and housewife and i love every minuet of it if you listen to the link on my wall you will find that the IRISH TRAVELLERS and differnt to GYPSYS and that irish travellers are 10% the other 90% dont grap peopel they dont have comminuions they dont meet in carparks and they dont beat there women
CommentAuthorFaeth
I just watched it finally. The one thing I keep thinking is "why oh why can't they get dresses that fit right"?! They spend half the time either tripping over them, or falling out of them at the top. Not criticising the style - I can see where that comes from if they always dream of being princesses, and hats off to the amount of work and imagination that goes into them, but for gods sake make them fit better!!!
"Of course I'm not wedding obsessed!!"
CommentAuthorMumble83
lol Faeth, I never actually noticed that but you have a point there. lol. xx
CommentAuthorluvlifejen (mrs berr
they didnt fit right on either last night on top xx

CommentAuthorButterflyDreamer
that's one thing i'm dreading about my dress!it not fitting properly at the top!, Neither of them looked like they wanted to get married at all :/ not like the first couple this series josie and swanley? they looked very much in love, i don't know about you guys but it made me feel a bit sad :S
CommentAuthormitch2509
yeah bridget looked so sad!!
CommentAuthorUnknown

CommentAuthorButterflyDreamer
Didn't she just! i understand she didn't want to leave her mum but they really didn't look happy together!, Did they even have a first dance? x
CommentAuthorUnknown

I agree. They did dance but she was not looking in his eyes and smiling or anything like that. As for the dress not fitting up the top, mine doesn't!!! :( Any ideas what I can do about it?? It fit's perfectly everywhere else but not around the boobage area!!! :( xxx
CommentAuthorUnknown
does it have straps that can be tightened? that would help xx
CommentAuthorMumble83
It's strapless, pic on my profile. xx
CommentAuthorNHR115
I agree, it seems they aren't very happy. She just threw his wedding ring on his finger. xxx
CommentAuthorHappilymarried Mrs G
No they dont seem very happy to me. Good on that girl who decided to stay at school and get a job! How come the others dont decide to do you think? I mean, do they get a choice? I guess at that age a lot of kids want to drop out, i know i hated school at that age but still. All seems a bit odd. Also i dont like that grabbing thing, i think its very strange that mums, dads, brothers etc... find it acceptable to see their little girls treated like that.
