You chat and move on and 6 pages later I'm still thinking about shampoo.

The men generally put shower gel on their hair. I buy matching shampoo and conditioner spend only about 2-3 pound on each bottle.

We all have really thick hair. THe men towel dry and go. I GHD.

I'm the only one who has to deal with grey. F-I-L started going grey at about 65. He still has a full head of hair as does OH.

Cos it is freezing and rainy here and it is what's on telly. I have suddenly grown an interest in restoring old houses in Detroit as a result (Google Nicole Curtis). I've never even been to Detroit (except to change planes at the airport). Going to Detroit does not constitute a posh alert.

People go to Detroit to be shot. That's all you need to know.
It's a lawless, hopeless, lost society, full of druggies, murderers, gangs, smack and violence.

Road sign's been replaced with one reading: Abandon Hope All Ye Who Enter.

Anybody on the telly, doing up houses there, will have "a little other business" you don't know about. Maybe they're the local Maff-eh-ar middle man, or run protection rackets, or own/run all the security teams in the area.... they aren't regular Joes who want to do a quick overhaul.

They know the turf, they either already own the turf or are paying a hefty premium to not have it torched.

Same here with the grey. I take after my dad. Everyone else kept hair colour much longer.

DH has bis own man shampoo and would be very annoyed if I used it. He'd know too his bottles always look brand new, with the lids all perfectly aligned and the labels facing forward. Mine don't.

She restored a house there that was next to one that was classed as an arson house. There was some damage to the house that was being restored as a result, but not structural. The council under its codes is allowed to rear down arson houses, which it did. Made it into a cleared space instead, looked loads better. Struck me as a totally different set of restoration issues to doing one up in a well to do area. Looked beautiful at the end too, even if it was more of a cheap reclamation resto due to area.

.

Len Fairclough is the name of a character in Coronation Street from the 60s/70s. In real life - the actor who played the role was caught kiddy fiddling, in swimming pools. He'd be holding them under the water.... hence he was known as Thumbs Up

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peter_Adamson

On 24 April 1983, ... arrested for indecently assaulting two eight-year old girls in a public swimming pool ... where he had assisted as a part-time instructor. ... The police complaint alleged that Adamson's hands had strayed while giving the girls swimming lessons
