Gypsy Weddings
OK, another one.

Same place as this, the Jingling Gate. The place was renouned for the amount of Gypsy Weddings it catered for over the years. Infact, in the 2 years I worked there, we must of had 5 of them.

When I say Gypsy wedding, I actually mean the full proceedings, not just the reception.

Nothing would fill my heart with glee than seeing a slightly retarded lad marrying his lovely sister who was actually also his mother and auntie.

These events were somewhat a sight to behold. They would pack the full place out with 300-400 of their travelling clan, and carry more money on them then I've ever seen in my life... most of them with rolls amounting up to 1 or 2k.

Gypsies, as reputation preceeds them, are massive, massive drinkers. Most of which at these weddings would drink between 4 and 6 pints of cheap lager/cider in the space of an hour, and they would keep up this speed until the early hours of the morning.

Also, as you'd imagine, a lot of them would try and nick stuff from the place at any possible juncture. Like the time I saw one of them trying to make off with 4 of our chairs out the front door. He couldn't of made it any blatantly obvious, doing it right in front of the receptionists nose. Genius!

Mind you, amongst the swarm of incest and mutation, their were some absolute stunners dotting about, most of them more than up for a good ragging. But any thoughts of that were normally diminished within seconds of realising that their brothers/fathers/uncles were there (who looked like clones of each other), brandishing knives, and talking about their last victims.... usually the last person to shag their daughter/sister/auntie/mother.


Ah, but it was mostly good times, full of charm (and incest) those Gypsies. :-)


Length? About 5-6 generations of incest!
