DO you remember having to cover all your jotters and books at school

Using wallpaper and then as you got older you used Smash Hits or other music magazines :joker:

I doodled all over mine. I was obsessed with wrestling in the late 90's so it was always WWF, and CFC related stuff all over my books.

we had brown paper covers. All the fancy coverings weren't available in my day

We used wallpaper, wrapping paper, anything that worked. One girl at my school wrapped all her books in wood chip wallpaper :laugh:

Yeah !!

What was that all about ??

Anyone remember why we used to have to ‘back’ all our books ??

Yeah i do actually, what was the reason? I feel like we were told by the teachers that we had to cover them?

Yes

No choice in the matter

Typical that nobody ever questions it back in the day .

Yeah we would be given instructions to cover our copy books...that is what we called them in Ireland, wallpaper was always a good choice but then contact came into being does anyone remember that, sticky stuff and if you didnt get it right first time it would crease and look horrible :laugh:

well if you will have the brass neck to be a triple lock pensioner :fist:

Matthew has to back his books in this now.....its a nightmare

what do you have to cover them in now, gold leaf :laugh:

trans flags

Sticky back plastic stuff. It's a pain

Yep.

I got very lazy and used the plastic sleeve type ones for copies but tbh by the time Luke was in his last couple of years I didn't bother covering any books/copies at all. No idea why copy books ever needed covering in the first place

Yes….i remember it well :laugh:

but why was it necessary, I dont get it?

@Mystic Mock, you wanna get in on this?

Tbh I don't really remember much about this.

I probably got my Mom to do it for me.:laugh:

I only ask because idk what the **** any of this is about. :joker:

We're in the same boat.:laugh:
