And that was that

You lost me.. im either too young or too swedish to understand any of the last 5 references..

Back in the 70s if one wanted to appear fashionable one had to wear hideous trousers known as "flairs". These were usually accompanied by equally hideous footwear known as "platform shoes". I am too ashamed to post any pictures of me wearing that sort of crap although , unfortunately, confirm that some do exist. There are plenty of pictures on the web Tom. You Swedes obviously live very sheltered lives.

flare noun (CLOTHES)

As someone who was around in the 70s Tom I wouldn't consider you unfortunate.

Those fucking shoes were a nightmare if you'd had a beer or three.

And the fucking height of the things meant you had further to fall if you did lose your balance.
