    All those who don't marry their names are put into the Skellege List and all those who married they Skellege the car with ropes and they call it a drag and the people would trow throw them money. They used call them wagonettes or covered cars. They used to be two horses at the front in a wagonette and a man on top driving it.
    A long time ago two people got married once after they were married a gang of suppers came in sometimes they called them straw boys. They started to sing and dance. They used all have a number and everytime the captain got the money and they shared it between them
