    Definately a bit of a strange ending. Thing is, if all of these dresses are made to measure..a) how did hardly anyones dress fit their boobs ...and b) why were the dresses so long so they dragged on the floor? I will miss it though!

    aww gutted it was the last one. thought the girl who cancelled the wedding was wayyyy more secretive than the other have been which was a bit odd! i thought bridget and elizabeth were sooooo sweet :-( i think any of us would be gutted like that if we had to say goodbye to our best friends after our wedding day :0( i know i would!! thought it was a strange ending to the series though xx

    those pink dresses were awful...everything hanging out. i do think that you should cover up for your wedding or at someone elses wedding. it was sad tho for those 2 girls. i would hate to say goodbye to my best friend after getting married

    Not the last one!!!! I thought it was the last one next week, gutted!! It was an interesting one though, I think it is disgusting that they are treated with such contempt. I mean, there are drunken thugs in any community who could cause a fight in a bar, so surely everyone should be treated the same. I thought it was pretty bad that that girl and her family lied to the dress maker, when she serves most of the travelling community in that area and her actions could cost other travellers business as trust might be lost. But the two best mates had me crying a little at the end, I have never seen a more unhappy bride, but only due to the fact that she is in a way losing her best friend, and marriage shouldn't mean the end of such an important relationship. But they know the sacrifice as it their culture, and I am sure Elizabeth will be married soon herself. But really, the last one? What am I going to do on a Tuesday night now?? x

    i felt sorry for the dress maker as she had to travel to ireland and everything!! surely they could hae just told her a particular hotel to book and the dates and it would have been ok rather than lying

    I just didn't see the point in it at all. That dress maker was trusted by a lot of travellers and they were the ones that wanted her to go over and dress her. And the fact that they had the underskirts worth £2000, I wonder if they had paid for them already? Also pointless as they lost out on the dress, so stupid.

    i know...i think they had paid to hire them. what thelma was saying was that unless they dont return the underskirts by the date that was set they will owe the money as she has other brides needing them.

    she needed them for another wedding on the 20th she was saying and its £100 a day to rent the underskirts i think its a disgrace that she was treated that way how many of us would even consider lying to our dress maker about the date? allow her to book flights and hotels etc.. if i was thelma i would have slapped her the next time i saw her and slapped her with the bill too!! xx

    Ah right, only problem with that is how would you get the money if they didn't return them, they are pretty hard to get hold of when they can just move, lol. It is a shame that in every community there are some that can bring a bad name on them all. Silly girl! x

    She may go out of business then as that is all she seems to cater for, I guess it takes many hours to finish not only the wedding dresses but all the bridesmaids as well, last nights bride seemed to have 8 or so bridesmaids, but I couldn't tell with all that pink! :)

    I would have thought loads of dressmakers would love the opportunity to make them...I would LOVE to know how much just one dress costs! I did feel she was saying too much and too many generalisations though. When she said the girls looked like prostitutes I just cringed! So judgemental!

    it is eye opening to see how they are treated and some of them are genuinely nice e.g. the little 14 yr old who was on a few weeks ago. However, it is unsurprising as they dont help themselves. The landloard/pub owner was saying most are law abiding and respected the fact that u get drunken louts in any community and one of the gypsies came up to the camera and said 'law abiding hahaha' so they know themselves where the sterotype comes from and dont help themselves. It also doesnt help the way the girls are allowed to dress and act and apparently they have all these morals???? The kids dress and dance like strippers and some of the blokes who watch the show with their wives etc have said that they felt so uncomfortable and had to look away. I do feel sorry for those though that are law abiding and pay their way but I dont think this show has done them any favours... I think it may have made socities perception of them worse.

    well said over the camera shot with the idiot jumped in saying that i thought what an div!

    over the young girls having a 11yrs old daughter and 13yrs old step daughter there is no way they would leave the house dressed like that ever! and dancing that way no no no! children should be innocent end of!

    i have enjoyed watching the series and it has been interesting i dont agree with everything that they do and say about women i.e. he wont push a pram coz its womens work etc... my h2b was mortified its one of his fave things pushing the pram

    i know..it is all wrong. i can understand it when they live in caravans and travel all over as they are never in the same place long enough but when they live in houses and the kids drop out of school at like 13 i just dont understand why the education authority dont do anything xx

    when the girl went on a paintball day out with 13 ppl she was the only one who could read and write! i was shocked! they have to find them i suppose the education authority? in this day and age i think they need to re-evaluate some of their beliefs about how to bring their children up education is hugely important looking and dancing and meeting your future husband is not so much for me! my girls will be educated!

    the other thing that got me was when the man left for appleby horse fayre and then felt hungry and coz he was only 10 miles away the Mrs had to come and bring him a cooked meal! i'd have said whatever go to mcdonalds or subway haha xx

    that made me laugh. no way would i do that!!

    i think they are slowly changing their ways. as in more living in houses and more girls not getting married til later on.

    i know a traveller boy and his family live in a house with a caravan out front. he has been with the same non traveller girl for years and now have 2 kids, live together in a hosue unmarried and all his family are fine with it! xx

    i just cant believe that they complain that they get kicked out of things... paintballing they lasted a very short time due to poor behaviour and were surprised to get kicked out. Last episode the boys got kicked out of hotel for unruly behaviour and again they were surprised... behave and people will alter their perceptions. I dont get it.
