Wry obervations about rural life in north-east Scotland in the 1930s written by Barrowsgate in Doric

Barrowsgate has no time for slimming as a fashion trend but point outs that there are people who have no choice due to lack of work and/or money and that the Government should get a move on and do something about it.

Note: This Bittie later appeared in an English language version on 08 December 1936 in the Buchan Observer as “Slimming” (under the “ANZAC” pen name).
