Remember it well and hated anything like that - I was so untidy nothing every looked right -My Christmas parcels still look as though they've been flung down the chimney.
I think it was a fad at my school. A bit like when we first learned cookery and we had to have a basket with a twee little cover over it. For a while we used to take our books to school in the baskets. My friend and I had a lot of fun pushing them off the shelves in the cloakroom at lunchtime but I won`t say anything about that.
