    Tramps are not as numerous now as in days gone by
    The only tinkers we see around are Mickie Cathy and his wife Annie
    The only means they have of travelling is a white donkey and care.
    They go about and spend a night here and a night there in every old road they meet they get a bag of hay from some neighbour near by and place it under the cart they they get some canvas and spread it over the cart then they go in under the cart and sleep comfortably until morning.
    Beggars such as Annie and Mickie cannot beg unless they have something to sell so they buy some studs and lacers and other small itims and they go about from house
