Knackers are Irish travellers Not gypsies(romni people) although the two communities do mix and travel with eachother. Knackers are from indiginuious people of Ireland who have just choise to live a nomadic life style they are not all scumbags or drunks they are also sometimes refered to as Tinkers,gippos,creamers or as they call them selfs PAVEES or pavos
You can tell a Irish gippo froma knacker right away the knackers have pink/red faces and dress shitty the gippos are darker skined and dress nicer plus many gippos have settled and do not live the nomadic life style for a gippo its their ethnicity not just their way of life

knackers are always associated with the lower class's. they are often associated with new york yankees tracksuits and nike T.N's but those people are actuly most often shams and wannabees. The true knackers wear fila runners and dunlop tracksuits as they cant afford yankees tracksuits or nike T.N's. They like to start fights, get pissed with cheap beer and on tuesdays queing up outside the social welfare office
This place is filthy. all i can see is yankees tracksuits and T.N's. Its a total knackers hole.
