Parts of my journey to work are shared by dozens of teenagers walking to school, and I have observed that all of them wear their backpacks properly, on both shoulders. What is the world coming to? In my day, no one used both shoulder straps, and backache be damned!

Date: 2007-07-18 09:08 am (UTC)I still have the backpack I used when I was at sixth form: standard brightly-coloured Millets one, with a drawstring and a flap and a front pocket. It's under my desk at work with gym stuff in, not that I ever go to the gym. It's also a pain to carry, because the left-hand strap is stretched and flattened after carrying all my A-Level stuff around, while the right-hand strap is almost like new, and any attempt to carry it properly is extremely uncomfortable!
