  1. Buying and Selling

    Share Share Post
    Long ago there wasn't many shops here and the people had to go to the nearest to the nearest town to buy and sell.
    At present after Mass on Sundays the shops are opened and the people buy everything but farm implements.
    "Boot": If I swop an article with another person and if mine is of lesser value I must give what is called "boot".
