  1. Shops were not as common in olden times as they are now. The people had to go to the nearest town to buy their goods. Buying and selling was carried on after Mass and on that day people used to buy as much supplies as would do them for the week. This is not practised now, as the lorries are going on the road and the people get their supplies from the lorries. Money was not always given for goods, but the farmer would get his goods, and when he would sell an animal he would pay for them.
