Thanks for the extract from "The Tailor and Ansty" Matthew! It's a good few years since I read both it and Robert Gibbins' "Lovely is the Lee" and its sequel which also make reference to the Tailor and Ansty. In brings back fond memories of many vists to wonderful Googaunbarra where the Tailor ans Ansty lived and where one can still view their graves.

Marvellous stuff!
