BLAST FROM THE PAST

A book has been returned to Paisley’s Central Library – more than 50 years late. Staff were stunned when the postman delivered a large white padded bag and, when opened, they discovered a copy of the book, Mrs Balbir Singh’s Indian Cookery, along with a £20 note and an anonymous letter apologising for the book being so long overdue. The book is thought to have been loaned out around 1968 from the Central Library in Paisley’s High Street.
