- The men long ago were alot stronger than the men now. They used to bring a half sack of flour on their shoulders from Killavullen but now they will have to take a horse and car for it The best mower around here was "Mick the Snipe" Why he was called that was because he used to go travelling around the bog very late at night looking for birds. He used to mow three acres every day His right name was Micheal O Connor.
The way they used to catch the rabbits is to shake a pinch of salt on their backs. Then they would turn back and lick themselves
