That is how my hair was cut as a kid. :y

My Dad did that to me once when I was a nipper.  :)

When my Mum came in she went absolutely nuts and straight away dragged me off to her hairdresser mate to sort out the mess.  ::)

I'm sure he did it as a wind up!  ::)  ;D

Some years ago I went to local Cypriot barber near my office. I'd always had much the same, sort of with a parting, very dull I just never thought about hair much. Mister Cypriot Barber suggested a change to 8 on the top and 4 at the sides. Great ! so much easier after a shower, no need for hair dryers etc. Never changed since, still what I get  :y

Ironic given that the communists, sorry, Union leaders effectively caused production costs rocket with their ridiculous demands... I mean, why would you pay top money for a product that is only available three days a week :-\

Joking aside, I actually feel sorry for all those decent working people who fell for the propaganda pedalled by those they entrusted their livelihoods to.

I think the current Turkish Barber thing is to smear vaseline on them and then set light directly... hm, maybe that's where the kids in the other thread got the idea from.

I've not used a high street barber for ages, I just book a meeting slot in my work calendar and pop down during office hours.

...and before anyone asks, it's Sky's on-site one, for company people only.  :D

Or if that's full, there is the Hair saloon, which also do mens hair. Again, Sky only.  8)

So translation never an issue  :)

It's actually run by one of the ex-secruity guards, who took the proposition to Sky that they should run a dedicated barbers. They funded it and setup him up with his own little place, in some rooms that were not longer used and had them converted.
