Thread Name: Lyr Req: When Father Papered the Parlour
Subject: RE: LYR REQ: When father papered the parlour
We had this on a record and an ancient wind up gramophone in the old family home - it vanished after my dad played it three times in a row the day my mum papered the back bedroom with a pretty trelis pattern with what should have been hanging baskets - except she put it on upside down.

The paper was a good quality one and it stayed there for many years - and my brother told me it was a lot of work to get it scraped off - he had to do it as he was the last one at home.

The day after the last of the paper was removed he found the record.
