Elspeth King - a remarkable life and champion of Glasgow’s working class cultural history. I’d forgotten she’d been snubbed for her rightful position to run all of Glasgow’s museums in 1990 (to Stirling’s benefit). She was some wummin.

The replies to this are fantastic. Funny, poignant, occasionally icky, they are a window into social history, product branding, and surprisingly often, how we memorialise the past. Well worth your time.
At the back of your kitchen cupboard is something pickled or preserved in a jar that you were given for Christmas several years ago that you’ve never quite felt like eating.
Throw it out now.
