    “People often swap and sometimes one gives the other boot.”

    Share Share Post
    People often swap and sometimes one gives the other boot. This means giving money with what you are giving the other. "What goes up the chimney" one says when the bargain is made and the other one says, "Smoke". "The bargain is made and can't be broken". Fair and markets were held in Listowel long ago, Luck-penny means the seller giving the buyer some money for luck. There used be an amusement in Newtown on the eight of September and it was called the Pattern Day.
