Canal boat dwellers can never be "pikeys". Apart from anything else "pikey" referred of old to travellers along the "turnpike" road. Is there a term from waterway dwellers?
Avus - They can and (we) are. There are water turnpikes too. Sinister deeds were committed at ours: http://www.amazon.co.uk/Abingdon-Waterturnpike-Murder-True-life-Punishment/dp/0953559327
