WIN: Signed copies of The Sunday Post’s new book ‘Pass it On – Household Tips from the 1950s’

WE have 15 signed copies of The Sunday Post’s marvellous new book “Pass It On — Household Tips From The 1950s” to give away.  It is a collection of 1,250 “life hacks” from the era of the superhousewife and has been flying off the shelves of Scottish book stores.

It’s a mixture of heart-tugging nostalgia and incredibly useful advice. Do you know how to get furniture dents out of a carpet? Or how to dust behind a wardrobe that can’t be moved? Do you think you’d benefit from knowing how they kept warm in the 1950s? Or how to make sure you don’t slip on icy pavements? Have you ever wondered how to get dents out of a ping-pong ball or how to ensure midges stay away from you?

There are tips on knitting, sewing, cleaning, ironing, coal fires, and another 20 chapters.

This is the collected wisdom from the cleverest, most experienced and most innovative experts who ever used a twin-tub or ironed a shirt. The full names and addresses have been left on, just as they were published in the 1950s. If your mother or grandmother was a house-proud housewife in those years, their name might very well be in the book.

To be in with a chance to win one of these fabulous books just answer the following question:

In what year was The Queen’s coronation?

a) 1941  b)   1953     c)  1969
