- There were no country shops in olden times. People had to go to the nearest town to make purchases. Selling and buying was carried on after Mass. This is not still practised. The goods in olden times were bartered; money was not always given for goods but labour was given instead
Markets were held in the nearest market-town. There is no buying or selling carried on after Mass now. The words that are connected with buying or selling are "boot", "tick", "change", "cant[?]"etc.- Collector
