Do you remember "making" the Magna Carta for history homework?

I do, it was about 35 Shock years ago and I spent hours on it. Lovingly wrote/drew the antiqified lettering, including a coloured first letter of each line, aged the paper by roughing up the edges and browning it with tea, rolled it into a scroll and tied it with red ribbon. I've no idea if any of this was authentic, but I was very pleased with it.

DS1 has had the same homework this week. He's done it on the PC and it took about 10 mins Shock Sad
