  2. The Mixture

    Share Share Post
    During the making of the Railway line from Balla to Ballina about 70 years ago, an engineer whose father owned a big shop in Ballina, was rather hard to please and looked with contempt on the working men. At dinner hour one day a hard working man was sitting on the bank, having his dinner of brown bread, when the engineer thought he would have a joke at him.
    What sort of bread is that you have Pat?
    O said Pat. It is very good, a mixture of moleskin and corduroy. The Engineer's father sold only moleskin and corduroy pants.
