Little bit of a rambling. I'm sitting here writing notes, made a mistake so I scrubbed it out and then I realised I can erase it out because it's an erasable gel pen. Then I remembered the old pen rubbers that did diddly squat but rip your paper so everyone used liquid paper instead. Got me thinking.
What has come a long way (for the better) since your childhood?
Tights & stockings. They used to get runs in them on the first wear but now they last for years.
I remember being able to get different colours like maroon and purple panty hose. Why? I dunno.
those cool ones from mary quant with all the different patterns
