Say hello to the Gaffer

No one knew his real name as he didn't care for people to get too nosey!

A lot of the more elderly locals wore a battered round hat like the one Gaffer is wearing.

They also wore skin leggings below their smocks and thick boots.

The smock had a great bearing on village life because a girl was only considered suitable as a wife if she could make her husband-to-be a 'round frock' and 'beef-staak puddun'.
