Much better than those spoon shaped fuckers that made us look like duck-billed platypusses. (Or is that platypi?) Anyway, you know the ones I mean. Came after platform shoes in the 70s. Brown or black circular-ended jobs often with stripey heels and laces. Anyone know what i'm on about, or did I dream it?
Cheers for putting that up. Just the other day someone asked me who my all-time-favourite pop groups are...and I answered: Orange Juice, The Style Council, Subway Sect, Magazine and Chic.
