An amusing look back at life in Dundee, mainly from around the 1900's through 1950's period.
We all know about this period in history because of the 2 wars that took place during it.
These gloomy global events will not be mentioned here.
This is all about ordinary everyday life - work, leisure, entertainment, sport etc...
I, however, have gathered lots newspaper items showing the quirkier side of Dundee and Dundonians, who, after all, were just getting on with things as best they can.
Plenty of strange sights, eccentric ideas, whimsical stories, unpredictable moments and general fun happening locally throughout this time span.
Most of these were documented in the local press by D.C. Thomson.
The cuttings are presented with a large dose of humour and are not for serious academic study, so make sure you are in a jovial mood first before you go any further.
Take a delve then by clicking the page numbers below and...
Expect the unexpected!
Behold the curious content!
Chortle at the...er...um...oh whatever!
It's... UP WI' THE SNIPPETS O' FUNNIE DUNDEE!
