Come and hear Sunday Post's Steve Finan give a speech at Dundee Literary Festival!

Sunday Post production editor Steve Finan is giving a talk on the Sunday Post at Dundee Literary Festival.

Steve will talk about the paper’s forthcoming book, a compendium of Pass It On tips. This was a column that ran in the paper from the 1930s to the 1980s.

Housewives, and some house husbands, would write in to pass on their best cooking, sewing, cleaning, ironing and money-saving tips…and their strange and wonderful labour-saving inventions from the days before there was a gadget for all purposes in the shops.

The tips were fiendishly clever, but at the same time will evoke a warm glow of nostalgia. There will be much said about wringers, gas pokers and linoleum, but also the secrets of how to make the tastiest stew gravy, how to ensure fish don’t break up when fried and the best way to sweeten rhubarb.

Steve will attempt to prove which is the greatest newspaper in world history and why.
