WTF is a Pikey?

I keep hearing that word all the time over here.

Are they similar to Carnies??

I've never even heard that word before?

Gimme and example of how it would be used in a sentace.

Just people saying "oh such and such is a real pikey"

I got the impression it might mean someone who is really tight with money, or someone who dosses heaps, but I'm not sure.

Will have to investigate!

Good old Acton.

What about yourself?

I'm in Acton too. 5mins walk from West Acton Station.

Haha...Spike thats hilarious. Its amazing how many of those there are around. They should be shot!

I'm not sure where West Acton station is, but I'm about 5 mins walk from high street, and about 5-10mins walk from Acton Town station.

We have an off licence about 30 seconds from our flat, very handy indeed!

Do you go to any of the locals?

Occasionally The Puzzle, sometimes The Mill Hill for a game of pool, and sometimes *coughtheredbackcough*. Nah the Reddies alright, cheap drinks!!

I went to the redback last thursday night.

Not really my kinda place, hated the music, but went with a big crew from my flat so that was ok.

Haven't been out to any other locals yet.

Spike - that is fucking hillarious!

isnt the red back a guaranteed shag??

havent been, but heard nasty things

I got the impression it was a bit of a meat market, but I've only been once. *shrugs*

Reddy is not really my scene either...but when I am poor its good!

The Cook is alright for a local...bar at the front and Club (Hard Dance) at the back. Pretty good music actually. I usually go on a Wednesday night for a couple drinks. Weekends are packed!

i think we should do a cook night out wednesday week.

anyone keen for that?

Yup I'm keen. I'll prolly going this week too.

i would've said this week, but i'm working all week til 8pm.

Were arriving March 29th and are house hunting in Acton

we'll have to drop you guys a line and meet up ?

I'm also planning on going to the cook on Wednesday night to catch up with another kiwi friend.

It would be cool to meet you domino!

Spike, no worries, just come straight from work!

pikey = piker????

A pikey is a gypsy.

But dont call them they they will try to kill you.

Theyre the gypsys in the movie snatch.
