Brown plastic! It looked like a hitman's toolkit. Ah yes. Readers should remember that this was the late 80s, in which Everyone Else had a canvas backpack, on which they could scrawl their name across the flap in black marker, then add poorly-rendered metal band title logos and/or the name of their beloved (4 EVA) . But, our mother argued, if Everyone Else title jumped of the Sydney Harbour Bridge, would we do it too? She also believed these newfangled backpacks were a chiropractic hazard, as the title trend was to carry them on one shoulder only. Yes, it was far more sensible to have a small child carry a large heavy suitcase and slowly disengage the arm from its socket over the course of the school term. Do you also remember the trauma we faced every second Friday?
