Ooh Kay & Gwyneth we must be the same age LOL I'd forgotten about the American Tan stockings from the market - you were very lucky to get two the same size in the pack! I had a shocking pink circular skirt that Mum & I made from a complete circle of material. I wore layers and layers of paper nylon and net petticoats underneath and though I looked fantastic in my white stillettos! LOL Did you lift the record changing arm on your Dansette so that the same record played over and over again automatically? My Dad threatened to 'throw it out of the window unless I stopped that infernal noise'. Still sounded better than the 'rubbish' my kids played on their boom boxes! LOL Sue xx
