    Something from the 1980s. Probably a record cover.

    Is it either Mallets Mallet (Timmy Mallet) Saturday morning kids show.
    Or Saved by the Bell another kids show...?

    The design is called Memphis apparently. Generic design that was used in many places including the TV show Saved by the Bell.

    Certainly something from the Italian designers Memphis Group.

    I've seen that pattern many times. Generally after eight pints of my favourite bitter!

    I imagine you run out of members' index plates to SORN

    I think you'll find that you can't SORN someone else's vehicle, let alone their 'index plate'.

    I think you'll find he meant using someones index plate to investigate the road tax status.
    Started out with nothing. Still have most of it left.

    I thought that too, but I checked and it’s not. Made me feel nostalgic though!

    I think that people aren't remembering this specific pattern, but rather the style, which was basically everywhere on notebooks and so on. A lot of similar samples:


    So I think the answer to "Where is this image from?" is: The 1980s.
