Strange tales from the archives... This month - "taps aff" and more shenanigans in historic heatwaves

FROM THE VAULT

WHEN the temperature soars, people can act in most unpredictable ways, as was proven by the motorist who scandalously drove a car topless through Forfar during the 1949 heatwave.

The Courier's report does not specify the gender of the motorist but the word shirt rather than blouse was used so it was likely a man.

A decade earlier, a heatwave prompted a fashion revolution as men were forced to swap their heavy woollen trousers for flannels.

Shops ran out of the lightweight trousers, although it was reported that men refused to part with their collars and ties during the scorcher.
