I can remember when STANDARD PRACTISE WAS TO TRIM ALL WALLPAPERS :rotfl:

And the next development was to pay one penny* extra per roll for the man in the shop to trim it on his new fangled machine.

Out of curiosity, how old are you guys? And does anyone on here remember mixing your own paint, often with lead pigments too :eek:. Good old days, eh? :rotfl:

I'm 27 and I remember it but I grew up with an uncle who was a painter and decorator and spent hours of my childhood with my cousins and we were always given offcuts of all the paper to draw on the back or cut out for collage.

Even as a young child I could see there was a difference between the papers I just never knew why there was a difference until I was older.
