  1. Local Tailors

    Share Share Post
    Now a days the tail-ors live in the towns, but long ago some of them lived in the country.
    Tom Brady's father of Cornaslieve was a tailor, thus the name of "The Tailors" foll-ows the family. In Druminia there lived two brothers Tom and Larry Wethers, who made the clothes for the local people.
    There are many old sayings about the tailors here are some
    "The long thread of the lazy tailor."
    "Tailor, tailor, sew the breec-hes,
    And don't forget the double stitches."
