    We had an avocado coloured bath and wall paint in the bathroom. Our house never graduated to pine.

    Was that Laura Ashley wallpaper with the tiny white flowers on a dark background 1070s? We had that.
    In London. Keen but lazy.

    OMG @Liriodendron FIBRON  we had that in our first house 1975.  We chose Brown with cream flecks.  A cream goatskin rug which smelled awful if it got wet.  A lovely brown and cream stripped suite and g plan sideboard completed the look.   Orange kitchen cabinets with a breakfast bar and brown plasticky floor tiles.  .  Homes weren't complete without a huge brick fireplace the width of the room to stand your TV on.  We even had a fishtank built into ours.
    In the garden we had nice lawns with a small rockery, a cheals weeping cherry tree, and every year a nice border of alysum, lobelia and red salvias.

    Wow. That's going back. I know if feels like forever. Floral armour was all the rage :D

    This one's for @Yviestevie...   :)
    You're right, we never throw anything away.  This has been used for years to store my short canes in the shed.
    Since 2019 I've lived in east Clare, in the west of Ireland.

    I'd assumed Fibron was a typo for Fablon. 
    Never heard of Fibron.  Maybe it wasn't big in West of Scotland council estates?
