  1. Travelling folk still call to out home. They are called tinkers. These people are always unwelcome. Some of them are poor and others are rich. They sell lots of of articles. Some people buy some articles from them. They make some supplies themselfs and they buy some from the shops. They mostly always stay for a night or two in some place. Some of them stay in their own caravans.
