It wasn't a way to pick on kids who didn't have much money (at least not deliberately)ДЄ further perverse theory that has been banded about was that it was the perfect method to belittle those of us who grew up with less, whereby folk whose parents had deeper pockets than the rest were able to use legit wrapping paper or comics instead of wallpaper, while the rest of us used hessian wall coverings or woodchip and got pelters for it.ДЄgain, it doesn't seem to be the case that this was intentional, although there's no doubt it happened. Did you even hear the word 'recycling' back in the 90s? Our parents were no doubt pleased to rid their drawers of the stuff they'd built up over the years - but it seems more of a by-product than the reason for this wallpapering madness. Still, it's doubtful that theory holds much weight. It wasn't to help parents get rid of the rubbish cluttering their housesДЄnother random theory we have stumbled upon is that it was some sort of 'secret' arrangement between teachers and parents to make sure they weren't chucking stuff in the bin when it could be reused again - like some sort of grassroots adult recycling exercise that us kids were none the wiser about. Our cynical sides may think that the act of covering jotters with wallpaper might just have been a huge wind-up by teachers - to annoy both us and our parents and to have a wee laugh seeing who had the worst wallpaper in their house.Д«ut we gather that this wasn't actually the case - although we are sure they had a giggle at some of the styles. Scots seem unanimous in thinking that Irn-Bru 'tastes like the colour orange'.We track down Raoul from the Irn Bru adverts to see if he would be up for a comeback.We went digging and here's what we know for certain.

It also got us thinking why on earth we were forced by teachers to make our jotters look like grannie's front room with that old floral wallpaper your mum had buried at the bottom of a drawer. I thought everywan done this' - prompting over 9000 'likes' and hundreds of responses.ДЄnd for some of us here at Glasgow Live, memories of our misspent youth came flooding back like wearing 'sannies' to P.E., getting a 1000-calorie lunch out the roll shop, breaking your 'VL' at the school disco and giving yourself a '99er' with a rubber (for some reason). The tweet, posted on Friday night, read: 'Right, Google has just informed me that only Scottish weans covered their school jotters in wallpaper. Glaswegians of a certain age may have fallen down a nostalgia rabbit hole this weekend thanks to a viral tweet combining the terms 'school jotters' and 'wallpaper'.

Wallpaper the last of us
