IF YOU WERE a schoolgirl in the late 80s and early 90s, you definitely will have had some of this stuff.
FANCY PAPER. It was one of the biggest crazes in the 80s in Ireland’s schools, aka ‘simpler times’.
There was no real purpose to it, we just collected it
You’d get a whole watermarked notebook of one design, and trade all the pages until you had a massive collection.
Until we saw some we had to have, and fixed a quick trade
Basically, it was the equivalent of all the fancy trading card games kids have now
Remember the paper that had a smell?
That stuff costs us many friendships
If you had a weird or wonderful notepad from say, a different country, you were basically the queen for the week
Bring back fancy paper, we say!
