Are they definitely skin tags, and not large ticks? Tick season is just starting and they can look like they're actually a part of the dogs body!

If they're in the way, and likely to catch on things I'd get the vet to have a look. Also, if they get any bigger or change colour/texture I'd see the vet.

They do sound too big to be ticks. If you're worried, Steve, I'd give the vets a ring & see what they say.

they used to get them removed on the NHS but they are not seen as essential anymore so you have to have a strong case for getting them removed. I have seen some massive ones not nice and they must be uncomfortable
