15 times the ‘Don’t Have A Bookmark?’ meme went too far

The subject of ‘the bookmark’ can create some fiery discussions. On one hand there are purists who only ever use a designated, created-for-purpose bookmark, and on the other hand there are people who use whatever is scabbing about the bottom of their handbag- a bus ticket, receipt, sweet wrapper… (We don’t talk about the monsters who fold the corner of the page as a marker).

If there is no paper to hand, it can be a worry, but the great people of the internet are on hand to help with some interesting suggestions.

Here are 15 of the best… Or most disturbing.
