General   (General discussion, talk about anything.)

Tramps were seasonal. When I was a youngster they would pass through the streets, sometimes knocking on doors asking for packets of tea and the like. They would do this in the summer months.

Most of them carried a bag that was full small of pots and pans, and usually a tattered sleeping bag.

I always remember that they were never aggressive or caused any trouble.

Most of them were gents who had dropped out for one reason or another, and most seemed very articulate having held down decent jobs in their former lives.
