Here is another brilliant account from Rita Tighe from Ballingate, Carnew about threshings years ago. She worked on farms as young girl and recalls the food and drink on the days but also how class-divide was there too between the farmers and farm-labourers. The clips ends with one such incident and how she dealt with it brilliantly. Really worth a listen.
