Foster and Allen- Nancy Myles

[@frantor1937]

I was the son of the Garda Officer tasked with looking after the education of the travelling people's children who passed through our little village in Co Roscommon. When Nancy Myles came to our school none of the local peasants would share a desk with her because she was a "Tinker". I shared because my Dad (RIP) taught me that all human beings are equal and , yes, I once had the privelage to share a school desk with Nancy Myles

[@frantor1937]

Hi Folks, confession time. I am not frantor but have access to his computer when he is out. He told me the story about a traveller girl at his junior school called nancy who he thought might be the one in the song and I took it from there He was moaning this morning about "abusive emails from nutters". Anyhow I'm off to Spain to work today so this little prank is over. So if you are ever in Torremo oops he's back got to go !!

[@kerriemurphy8189]

Kinda makes you wanna be a Tinker.... 😉

[@frantor1937]

I am living in the 21st Century - that was the 20th Century and I trust that you are proud of all the prejudices and false beliefs which pertained in rural Ireland when I was growing up there. Get well soon

[@frantor1937]

As the real Frantor 1937 I have just discovered that a miscevious young Luke has been winding people up in my name I really don't know how to deal with pranksters like him and piss artists who respond to his sort of trick but please leave me out of it. He is now in Spain so let the Spaniards worry about him.
