AEGALE Posted October 27, 2011 Share Posted October 27, 2011 Yep, newspaper was my choice. But the ink used to come off on everything. Also the pens leaked so a right mess at the end of a lesson. (ink pens) I was always getting shounted at for bending the nibs by pressing too hard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GOLDEN OLDIE Posted October 27, 2011 Share Posted October 27, 2011 I went to Notre Dame High School in about 1953 and we certainly backed our books then. My mother would wall-paper the lounge yearly just before Christmas so there was always plenty of spare paper. If you were a little bit better off than most you backed with flock paper but ours was fairly cheap and bought I think from Bunneys at Firth Park?

PhilH Posted October 27, 2011 Share Posted October 27, 2011 No, no, no...the trick was to use magazines and select pages so you could get away with reading and not paying attention. Or was that just me? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EssJayEff Posted October 28, 2011 Share Posted October 28, 2011 My dad was a painter and decorator, so I had a great choice! I also used Owls posters, making sure my fave players lovely faces were on the front of my books Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
