- Tea was only introduced into this part of the county about sixty or sixty five years ago. It wasnt taken by the people except on special occasions like Xmas etc. Old women especially favoured it. Later it was taken on Sunday evenings. Gradually it became more common.
- On this night the people left their houses because they were afraid that their dwellings would be blown down. They went into the hedges and ditches and held on by the bushes. When wind had died down the farmers crops were all mixed and then trouble began when farmers started picking out their own hay and corn. It often resulted in rows and quarrels.
