Tea or coffee on a Fairday. |
| |
| Description |
There was the coffee van, it was run by the ladies of the, I think it was the Scotch Church or the Presbyterian Church. I think it was the clergyman of that, that sat takin', there was a clergyman sat takin’ in the money. When you went in to the - it opened at 8 o'clock in the morning and the idea was to keep the men out of the pubs. So it was open long before the pubs and if you walked from Gortaree, fifteen miles from maybe at 2 o'clock in the morning, you were glad to get a cup of tay and you got two, you got the ordinary bun and a Paris bun and a cup of tea for six pennies, six of the old pennies, great value. And we were often very glad to get it and then you stood the fair, sold your cattle.
