Stolen Goat Appeal

[Maverick]

Yes the title did read Stolen Goat.
On Sunday the goat out 18 year old goat (we've had her for the last 14years) was stolen form an area where she was grazing in Eling, near Totton, in the New Forest.
She is old, arthritic, and has just recovered from a serious case of pnumonia. She was still on medication (which makes her unfit for eating), still needed her coat and heated shed at night, and is on a special diet. If she doen't get these her outlook is very bad. Please be on the look out, or if your in the horsy circuit and hear of a new Goat entering your stables please contact my mother, Cilla, on 023 8066 1914. You can imagine what she's feeling at the moment.

Many Thanks

I'm not attempting to suggest otherwise. Saying that in a thread such as this does flag you as somewhat of a sick f*ck in my personal book, however.

But who or what are they?

PIKEYS!

Apparently they are travelling people,( transits and silver caravans) and are called Pikeys in certain parts because they supposedly eat Pike from local ponds. I know this because I had to recently ask the same question and the wise one that is Sancho told me.
Strange, I know, but all Im doing here is passing along "wisdom"

That is only the reason I have been told. The great oracle of 'truth' that is wikipedia seems to think that it's something to do with turnpikes.

I,m sticking with your explanation and will continue to promulgate it. Trouble with Wikipedia is that any clown, Tory MP, failed banker, can say what they want on there. At least on the forum, one word out of order, and you are instantly and simultaneously corrected by everyone. As nobody came along to shout down and ridicule your explanation, I have to view it as being correct and universally accepted.

So Pikeys eat Pike from ponds and it seems to be an English colloquialism, I think I've got that.

I still don't see what they've got to do with the missing goat?

If something gets stolen in the countryside, it's generally assumed to have been pikeys
