- Long ago people used get up at five o'clock every morning and have an hour's work done before breakfast. Their food was principally potatoes and thick milk, which was so sour that it would draw tears from their eyes. On a Sunday they used get a little bit of meat. They often had barley bread too.
Before tea was much used, people drank coffee and after a while tea became known. People then worked from light to light. The old people say "we have Christmas everyday now".- Collector
