 Cheers Tony...I told the guy to just give me a trim Frown.
Ended up looking like a Tipulids arse, or Frank Bruno after fifteen rounds of boxing with anyone over the age of six.
Jorge...you're next for a haircut....oops, you've already had one ..SORRY...I know a good hairdresser (pity I didn't use him). Wonder how long this'll take to grow back?
Regards (with a cold head) Roger
