Cellotape, as we know it, was first used in the early 17th century to 'bond' together various light materials.
Although a crude method of attatching, say, paper to paper it was revolutionary at the time - Something highlighted by Dr Wilber Bernstein of Bristol University when he was recorded as saying 'Cellotape binds paper, carboard and the inner soul of mankind'
As you will be aware, cellotape still holds its own in th 21st century despite it being a dated method of joinery. This I am sure would please its creator Cellu Le Tapa, an English man born to Swedish/French parentage.
What I am trying to say is, next time your happily sticking something together with tape just have a little though for the Democratic Republic of Chad who get 17 pence from every hundred pounds spent on cellotape in order that they can fund their small inner city zoo and allotment area.
Thank you.
