https://youtu.be/rvYuoWyk8iU : almost 40 years ago, Sir Humphrey explains the EEC(EU)..from Yes, Minister.

I don't think everyone here is familiar with "Yes, Minister", so it would probably be best if you quote it.

For anyone else interested, the parent paraphrased a scene [0] from the legendary British sitcom "Yes, Minister" (~early 80s) where the civil servant Humphrey explains, in the most cynical manner possible, how the EU (at the time EEC) came to be.

You're most likely right, fortunately I don't possess quite the level of cynicism that my comment might have suggested. I do hope there was no one who believed my comment was made in anything but jest (at the expense of it's parent commenter), that would be disappointing.

I always think of this "Yes, Minister" scene, which aired... gosh, 38 years ago.

Is wallpaper really as hated as the opening paragraph makes it out to be? I fell in love with wallpaper from watching "Yes Minister" which mostly takes place in government offices with beautiful wallpaper. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rvYuoWyk8iU

think this is a generational backlash.

50s: wallpaper

60s: modern/minimal

70s: mix

80s: wallpaper

90s/2000s: modern/minimal

now: back to wallpaper, apparrently

obviously this is oversimplifying the styles of the era, but yes.
