I always get a twinge of nostalgia when I see Izal Medicated in the supermarket. I think every project I ever did at school involved using a few sheets of the stuff to trace a map or a Roman urn or a picture of a hedgehog.
Almost went into raptures when DS2 bought Roger Red Hat home for reading followed by the Village with Three Corners (?) when he was in Year 1 (now Yr3) so not that long ago.
Knowledge is knowing that a tomato is a fruit, wisdom is not putting it in a fruit salad !
I went to a convent school and we all had to cover our books in brown paper so that there would be no competition. My mum loved covering books so she did ours which is why I cannot come to grips with sticky back plastic and wish it never been invented!!
