EDITORS COMMENTS
Aberdeen: The City that Celebrates Frugality! (circa 1930s) This delightful photograph captures the quintessential Aberdeen spirit - a perfect blend of Scottish thrift and national pride! On this glorious day, the city of Aberdeen is adorned with a sea of flags, waving proudly in the breeze. But what's that? It seems the residents have taken the concept of 'flag day' to a whole new level! Instead of just flying the Saltire or the Union Jack, they've decided to hang out their empty washing lines, old curtains, and even their bedsheets, all in the name of patriotism. After all, who needs new flags when you can make do with what you've got, eh? But wait, there's more! While the streets are filled with the jubilant spirit of flag-waving, a door-to-door collection is taking place. The local charity collectors, armed with their tins, are making their way from house to house, hoping to gather some much-needed donations. But as they knock on doors, they're met with a sea of empty houses and closed doors. It seems the Aberdeen residents have another tradition - they save their pennies for a rainy day, or in this case, for flag days! So, there you have it - Aberdeen, the city that knows how to celebrate with a touch of Scottish stinginess! This humorous snapshot from the 1930s is a testament to the enduring spirit of frugality and national pride that continues to define this wonderful city to this day.
