- A great number of proverbs are used in this locality, made by people of olden times such as:-
"Too many cooks spoil the broth."
This proverb was said to have been made locally by a blacksmith of long ago, because too many blacksmiths resided near him and spoiled his trade.
Other proverbs are:-
"A rolling stone gathers no moss."
"Far away fields are green."
"A stick in time saves you nine."
