  1. Buying and Selling

    Share Share Post
    I know one shop and it was built on a hill (bh) behind my house. It is not there now. It was about half a mile from my house. The people used to buy after mass.
    People used to work in exchange for food and sometime they would give goods.
    A sixpence was called a "tanner" A shilling was called a "bob".
    A pound was called a "quid" There are other names for money

    The unlucky days to sell anything are Sunday, and Good Friday. People give "boot" with anything if their thing is not as good as the other person's.
