Who gives a Tinker's Damn about the Travelers

[Conservababe]

I do. LOL I am of Irish people, Cork County. I know that my grandmother and grandfather, second generation Americans, used to refer to the peddler of salves and ointments who knocked on their door, as a "tinker". I am curious now as to who the man really was and what did they think of him, really. Dang, I was too young to know to ask. LOL

I think it's wonderful to have some knowledge about this group. You never know when they will be coming to "your" neighborhood.

It's an interesting story.  I hope you've learned
something since posting the above.  Anyway,
it's a tinker's dam, not damn.  But you probably
don't want to learn why that is either.
