'Is some' should be used for singular.'Are some' should be used for plural.
We were referred to as being a group, therefore 'are' would be correct. Trust me, I'm a pik.......

Well, this is all very embarrassing.The 'bunch' bit didn't even register in my tiny little brain.
Unfortunately the 'racist' bit still stands

I agree - a collective noun, as in a pride of lions or a box of spanners.bobmunro said:

Personally I believe the term 'pikey' to be racist and offensive in it's attempt to describe a whole community in pejorative terms.6

Not sure it’s racist as it is a term more used to describe anyone who lives in a caravan.seth plum said:Personally I believe the term 'pikey' to be racist and offensive in it's attempt to describe a whole community in pejorative terms.
Definitely offensive and may, therefore, be deemed appropriate given the context it was used? A trifle over the top IMO, but it’s all down to perceptions.
The urban dictionary has an interesting definition.0 -

Not certain you can be racist to a 'community' that has a lifestyle rather than a race.0 -
Got back home. There's 31 new posts on the Oztumer thread.
He must have signed .... but no it's mainly about one of our resident Spanners trying to wriggle out of admitting he's a Pikey.
But he's alright really. He likes grammar and trains.
Should have been an Addick.
