    Local Proverbs :--
    You can’t expect blood from a turnip.
    A green Christmas is a rich churchyard.
    A white hristmas is a poor churchyard.
    A shut mouth catches no flies.
    Make hay while the sun shines.
    Beg from a beggar and you will never be rich.
    The old dog for the long road and the pup for the puddle.
    Trot mammy, trot daddy and why wouldn’t foaleen trot .
    Plough deep while sluggards sleep and you will have corn to sell and to keep .
    A nod is as good as a wink to a blind man. The early bird catches the early worm
