Ìý Hostess Trolleys Thursday 15 May 2003 Ìý
It's 50 years since the mobile Hostess trolley was invented - and the British dinner party was revolutionised.

No longer - or so the theory went - would the lady of the household be banished to the kitchen to make sure all the food was ready on time, while her husband entertained their guests over drinks.
Halifax is now the home of the Hostess trolley - the Crosslee factory there makes 20,000 a year. But with the emphasis now on informal, rather than formal, dining - what's the secret of its enduring appeal?
Clare Jenkins popped on her frilly pinny to celebrate this Hostess with the Mostest.
