I was really pleased when tights came into fashion, it was a bit cold with a short skirt and stockings, as said earlier, trousers were frowned upon on girls back then, cor, that makes me sound old.lol jean

Two things, I was very displeased when tights came into fashion. doesn,t bother me at my current age. More seriously, have seen a couple of ladies recently wearing skirts and those half 'nora batty' stockings, the tops of which really don,t have to show. Happy days

i was reminded the other day why i prefer trousers - singing at the pub when i felt a tug at my ankle length gypsey skrit. i turned round, looked down and ther was a youth laid on the floor looking up the back of my skirt!!!!!!!! i gave him a kick and said something very unladylike then carried on singing. i was fuming but didnt want to cause a fuss so didnt tell my other half until we were almost home. tina x

Speaking of feminine, where have the feminine ladies gone to? there dont seem to be many around these days....... ( I know that lots are wrapped up, against the cold) but its either teenagers with skin like a rhinoceros or women that seem to be trying to look like men....... Bob

I am sure a lot of varicose veins, were caused by the stockings which ladies used to used a sixpence to tighten up the stocking, well my mum did!!!
