Time for a mash

            Every July a Romani family camp on the verge at the junction of Aston Lane and the A51 for a couple of days as they pass through Stone. They cause no trouble, leave no mess and although they are wary of outsiders, they're always cheerful and happy to enjoy a bit o' craic about horses, dogs, the weather and so on.  The Roma should not be confused with Irish travellers; they are a distinct ethnic group with their own Indo-Aryan language, their lineage has been genetically traced back to the castes and tribes of northern India. Unfortunately they are still widely persecuted and abused; as late as 2004 the Czech Republic operated a policy of coercive sterilisation for Roma women and in 2010 France attempted to forcibly 'repatriate' 54 separate Romani family groups. Quite where a nomadic peoples who have wandered across Europe since 500AD were supposed to go back to, the French Government didn't say.
