  1. On St Patrick's day the people wear shamrock in their coats and the old men wear it in their hats. On St John's night we light a bonfire at the side of the road.
    On Shrove Tuesday the people get married and the people rope the road and stop them and get money from them.
    On chalk Sunday the people chalk on the back to show the people that are not married.
