'They thought they'd struck it lucky in Donegal...'

Sean tells the one about gathering the free turf.

“I know an elderly couple who mean no harm to anyone,” Sean says. “Every Sunday they used to go out for a run in the car to Gweedore, in Donegal! They discovered the bags of turf out on the bogs, and they would stop at the side of the road and lift a bag of turf and put it into the boot of the car and go home. One Sunday the man was stopped by one of the turf diggers, who told him not to take the turf. He said, ‘What’s the problem? Is that not the reason they’re out here? I thought they were for visitors to take home?' He meant no harm.”
With music from Matchbox, John Fogerty, Louis Armstrong and more.
