    Biddy Mish they used to say she was from Slieve Mish She had a big pack on her back and people thought it was a bed but she would not open it or let anyone see what it was. Also she used to say she could not travel without a clean pair of stockings from Dublin every day which ment she put a piece of the daily newspaper around her feet in on her shoes.
    When the tinkers came to Listowel the place where they camp is inside the Market gate. At the last races in Listowel the tinkers dressed up at gipsies.
