@Eliza9919
That's what I thought. Couldn't remember what it was called. Was there someone called Scooter in it. Maybe Doug's friend?

StealthPolarBear · 02/06/2019 23:06

Bus seats were never this loud surely. I'm going for whs stationery

FenellaVelour · 02/06/2019 23:20

I am sure I remember this being a patten on a vinyl seat somewhere, possibly McDonalds or Wimpy or another fast food place.

FoxSquadKitten · 02/06/2019 23:53

Is it a skateboard?....I'm joking 😂

whatisheupto · 03/06/2019 00:00

Wasn't it from Top of the Pops? When they did the Top 40 countdown, with a photo of the band and this pattern as the border around the photo? Or am I imagining it?!

happinessischocolate · 03/06/2019 00:17

I can see an album or single cover, there was a band or male singer in a photo in the middle of the cover at an angle and yellow writing

I agree with this, except I don't think it's the album cover, I think it's the inner sleeve

Eliza9919 · 03/06/2019 06:47

@Threeminis Yes, or was it Skeeter? There was Doug and Hey Arnold, this isn't from Hey Arnold.

Eliza9919 · 03/06/2019 06:48

Is it art on Mr Boswell's wall ffs 😂

lillighters85 · 03/06/2019 10:10

@Eliza9919 go and stand in the corner. 😂

KinkyHair · 03/06/2019 21:33

I keep thinking bus seats as well.

masterminder · 03/06/2019 21:43

You can tell by the picture itself it's something physically infront of the person taking the photo, the left side is wonky and there's something at the bottom.

I am WAY over invested in this.

Macca84 · 03/06/2019 21:53

Arghh this is so frustrating - looks so familiar! I was convinced saved by the bell too. I've been racking my brains (and YouTube!) - so far tried art attack, funhouse, fresh prince, rock's modern life, ren and stimpy... nothing!! I know this picture, the answer must be somewhere in my brain 😫😫

Twotome · 03/06/2019 21:55

I’m not sure we are ever going to know the answer Sad

The picture is of the skateboard mastermind It's the pattern from skateboard we're trying to place.

Preggers86 · 03/06/2019 22:40

The imagine is definitely taken from the skateboard you can see the little girl's finger at the top of the zoomed in picture and also the black bit of the wheel at the bottom. I think someone has taken something very similar to see how long they can get people to spend looking

I was thinking it was a Now That's What I Call Music album sleeve but no. This is annoying!

SundaeMorning · 04/06/2019 09:36

This is still driving me mad. It looks SO familiar. I think its defo mid to late 80s. Possibly the WHSMITH stationery comment is correct.

BusterGonad · 04/06/2019 09:49

I think it's a skateboard! Lol! Just kidding!

ImMeantToBeWorking · 04/06/2019 10:12

This is doing my head in, anyone have the answer yet? It is nothing only UK based (like GSCE mentioned above) as I am in Ireland. Probably something on Nickelodeon!

BelfastSmile · 05/06/2019 07:47

I don't think it's an exclusively WHS pattern, as we don't have them here in NI, but I definitely still recognise it.

Damntheman · 05/06/2019 08:38

It's a design called Memphis Style by the Memphis Group. It was literally everywhere for quite a long while.

namynom · 05/06/2019 12:47

It suddenly came in to my head this morning that I had a pencil with this on it! I’m so relieved to figure out where I know it from. I think i had the pencil case too so goes with the stationary thing PPs have suggested. belfast I’m NI as well it would have been Woolworths for me we got stuff like that. Damntheman yes it was a popular pattern but we’re trying to find this one specially with these exact colours etc.

Mermaidkisses · 05/06/2019 12:51

I think its part of an album cover ... desperately trying to remember the album!
