- There are stories about the Rughmore people some funny and some serious. Here is one of the funny stories in a town in England. There was fight between the Aughmore men and the Bally hounis men who worked there. The Aughmore men were winning fast and when they won they began to beat all around them in some way or other a black man got mixed up in it and he too was in danger of being beaten. He though of a plan and he began to shout out me an aka more man me an aka more man too. It struck the people so funny to hear a black man call himself an Aughamore man the began to laugh and the fight eased off.
