OiFrogg · 09/09/2022 07:20

Some of these are really dated 'popular' things. I know very few people with an actual camera and those that do rarely use them. Tights, certainly flesh coloured.

OiFrogg · 09/09/2022 07:21

Argh always press post too soon on this new app!

Tights are not really worn by young people now. I only know one person my generations (30s) with Sky because people just use the subscription services.
