Pikeys are travellers. Used to be called gypsies and like to consider themselves gypsies.
Gypsies in Britain used to pay their way. Collecting stones from fields to save the plough from damage and other such menial stuff. I had a very old friend (was in his eighties) and an original gypsy...told me some wonderful stories...
Pikeys like to live with the romanticism that they are old gypsy folk......they are thieving bastards by and large. Roaming from place to place in their caravans, leaving tons of shit and waste in their wake until forcibly moved on by the law most times. Can't speak for them all, there's good and bad in every group.
Bling bling is a youth word for jewellery.
