And with that, my question is answered! A grown woman was more likely to wear tights for her daily routine than a teen would be, and so that's where our exposure would most likely come from. Also, if you were at a friend's house, his mum would most likely be there relaxing either in slippers or stocking feet (it always seemed to be tan/greyish white tights in the early to mid 80s for me). Other than the stories mentioned way back when, I didn't really have the confidence to play with friend's mother's feet back then, although I'm pleased to have had multiple experiences with Tina and Irene in the late 80s/early 90s.
Oh, speaking of the 80s, there's a programme on BBC2 called 'The 80s with Dominic Sandbrook'. The first episode was last week, and spoke about social attitudes as the 80s commenced. As interesting as it was, far more noteworthy was the fact that it showed a brief snippet of the legendary Rod Hull and Emu/Selena Scott nylon foot tickle! There's no sound, sadly, and it's a real 'blink and you'll miss it' moment. However, you do get to see Rod Hull (through Emu) really going to town on Selena Scott's black stocking foot. To the best of my knowledge, it's only ever been shown twice in its entirety - once when it was live and again on 'Points of View' a week after. You'd think that sometime over the last thirty years it would have been shown again, but apparently not....more's the pity! Anyway, it's here around the 54 minute mark. Enjoy, gents!
