Oh, and a tinker is one from seventeenth or eighteenth century England who repairs things, like kettles and pots, made of metal. I refer you to the legend of Sir John Barleycorn by Robert Burns and the lyrics of the eponymous song by Traffic. "And the tinker he can't mend kettle or pots, without a little barleycorn".
