A fascinating Edwardian era rogues gallery of dodgy individuals banned from Dundee’s public houses leer out from the pages of our fascinating midweek-marking Courier.
Featuring a woman “wanting of teeth in the upper jaw”, it is one in the eye for anyone who has ever said; “It wasn’t like that in my day”. Because, frankly, drunken buffoonery was clearly every bit as much of a problem in 1900 as it is now. So there.
In other news, we have all the latest on the railway madness which threatened to derail travel plans for the Scottish Cup final. Suffice to say everything is back on track. Lovely stuff.
Sometimes the standard of political debate is very low. But was that the case when councillors fought over plans to raise a Union flag over the Forth Road Bridge? (Clever use of the word standard there, I like to think). Find out in Wednesday’s Courier.
Meanwhile, we have a cracking tale all about the footballer of yesteryear who has finally got the recognition he so richly deserves. A tale to put the smile on even the most cynical of faces (note to litigious individuals – this is not guaranteed).
Do you sleep within an inch of your partner? Or more than 30 inches apart? I’m not being needlessly salacious, it could affect your happiness…
