ANGELA has many skills ~ but cutting hair is not one of them ! ANGELA is fortunate because her MAMA has been able (adequately) to cut & shampoo & perm her hair during these last four months. Meanwhile mine has been growing profusely ! I like to look neat not like an Ageing Hippy or a Gentleman of the Road ! I had booked @ the local Barbers (Friday afternoon) and could not wait to be masked - gowned and in the Chair ! After an all-over Executive No. 3 ~ There was enough hair on the floor to stuff a cushion ! ALAS - when Angela returned Home and inspected my shorn scalp she uttered the immortal words *Ooooo BRIAN it makes you look Older - I preferred it LONG like ELVIS !
Short back & sides is out of date
Now at the Barbers one must state
Exactly what you need !
A number ONE ~ A number TWO
A fine Mohican dyed Bright Blue
Flat top ~ they used to call a CREW
A hair cut please you*ll plead !
For four long Months no Barbers Shop
No nice Quartet ~ No chop chop chop
At last my Barber opened up ~ to give me a crop !
My DAD said I should have married a Clippy
Each day I looked more like a 60s Hippy !
Angela thought my hair looked great
Like a Noble Lord ~ with a Large Estate !
So yesterday in trepidation
I entered *CUTE CUTS* by the Railway Station.
Sweeny Todd smiled ~ said *Your Hair Looks Great*
D*you want it cut or an EST-TI-MATE ?
Thirty Pounds ($40) for a Number Three !
Now Ive been sent to COVENTRY ~ ANGELA wont talk to ME !
Thanks for reading comments welcome Love ~ Brian & Angela
Have you had a *hair raising* experience during Lockdown ?

Thirty pounds is a bit steep. But on one barber's window, I read: Everything is £2 surcharge now! I walked past it.
Thanks Uncle Steve its normally £15 ($20) but he said *Im charging double because it takes twice as long and Im making up for lost income* My Brain calculated @ £15 a month for 4 months would have been £60 so paradoxically while I had spemt £30 in essence I had also saved £30. Angela has saved over £100 ($135) by going to her Mum but we wont mention that ! Thanks for your reply !
Blessings & Joy to you & your Hairy Hound
Spiritual Love Brian - Angela & Smokey
We need to look out for those surcharges. Double! And I'm concerned about £2!
As yu now i m goin bck too the sevnties with mi hare.
I doo strggle in seing the wrds i rite thou.

Thanks Uncle Andy ~ Love the dialect. Ladies (like Angelas MAMA) seem to be able to cope with Female Hair but they say cutting Mens Hair is a *Black Art* and needs special gear ! I was sorry Angela disapproved of my *Shorn Lamb look* but it is a weight off my mind !
Blessings & Peace to You & Yours
Love Brian - Angela & Smokey !
Went to the barbers to reduce the coverage
the pleasing result: a cut above average.
Thanks UNCLE MIKE ~ Us would be Middle of the Road Men have to keep up appearances. We now have a well groomed KNIGHT of the REALM leading the LABOUR PARTY ~ from the Front ! So we must also set an example from *Well groomed Top to polished Toe !*
Blessing Peace & Joy to ALL
Love Brian & Angela & Smokey !
Absolutely - my job yesterday was polishing shoes ans replacing shoelaces.
