It Happened to Me

on BBC Television

says Bill Townsley to Hywel Davies
He tells how he was born of an ancient Scottish Tinker family and how after serving with the Scots Guards during the war and being treated like anybody else he now finds himself branded a Tinker again. As such he and his children are doomed to live in a tent winter and summer. For them there can be no house and for him no settled job.
