GRIGGLING.
One may suppose that griggling has long passed out of practice. Few people remember the West Country custom. When a farmer had gathered his apple crop the cottagers were allowed to enter his orchard and pick the apples he left on the trees as being, too tiny to bother about. In a good apple year a generous farmer would leave, a fair supply of the smaller fruit unpicked. The grigglers, after griggling the orchard, went to the farmhouse, where the farmer's wife regaled them with bread and cheese and cider.
