My wife had a good hack at it, but i don't have to practice social distancing now, people take one look at me, and you can see Parkhurst instantly springs to mind, and they automatically give me a wide berth, kt

Re: Anyone else desperate for one
Here in Oz we are a bit more civilized which is not bad for the colonies.
Hairdressers have been set as required services so if you want a cut just pop on over.
Me, I cut my own with a set of clippers very good, I can style as I like as long as I do not change it.


Happy daze John in Oz.

Re: Anyone else desperate for one
Thinking back to when i was a kid, The barber would cater for us gents in many ways, Brill cream, Spare shaving blades, French Letters under the counter all the guys had to do was cough and he would hand one over ETC.... We kids would get a stick of sticky lice, Remember that stuff it would last for bloody days, A trip to the hairdressers for some guys these days wash / cut / shave / blow dry / All that's missing are the space hats for drying there hair, Me i am in and out in 10 minutes. You never know what you have got until its gone Terry.
