Yes that's right Carol - the copy paper was called bank paper - I'd forgotten that!
Anthea - After those round flat rubbers, they brought out pencil rubbers which were a lot easier to use, but still tore the paper if you weren't careful.
Maggs, the Tippex was awful when it ended up in a thick lump on your paper. Looked even worse than a rubbed out mistake! Did we use to thin it with nail varnish remover?
I remember going for an interview for a job once and I was asked if I ever made mistakes! I replied 'Yes' but you couldn't see them when I corrected them. I was told that mistakes weren't allowed in that office, so I told the interviewer that everyone makes mistakes at some time, and if that was their policy then it wasn't the job for me. I got up and walked out of the interview, and that is the only time I have ever done that.
