This is Yorkshire....
Well, There is Cyryl Raby Gentleman's Hairdresser, Wakefield Road, Waterloo, Huddersfield, he's about £4. Unfirtunately, Cyryl died 1 week into his retirement, but the shop is now owned and run by Trevor, his apprentice, who has worked there since leaving school and is retiring anytime now... It's a bit of a legend around here. Great old fashioned leather barber's chairs, and a real traditional barber shop with adverts for products like 'Vitalis', and you still get asked questions at the till like 'anything for the weekend sir?' And, as Trevor once told me, a bloke came in for a hair cut in the early sixties and said he wanted his hair cutting like Tony Curtis. When asked to describe tony curtis' hair cut, he described it in detail, complete with the pompador style front. At the end of the cut, he'd got a short back and sides with a bit of longer hair at the front. The customer complained that Tony Curtis doesn't have his hair cut like this, to which the replay came, "well he would if he came here...."
Then there is another place going further into town that is about £3.50, Then another place in the town centre that you can just drop into for £3.00 a cut.
Then if you really want to get a cheap one, my mother in law has one of these home barber kits, but I don't let her any where near me!!
The thing is though, at £6.50 a cut, the girls who do the cutting are really excellent, they work on a none appointment system, you take your place in the queue, the shop is usually full, and the cuts you get are better than some of the £20 a cut places, in fact most of them. The girls are all great looking aswell, the youngest is about 35, so they are just getting to their prime;) .
It is also 100 yards away from Nora Batty's house in one direction and Sid's cafe in the other.0 -

It's a bit quiet here - my youngest daughter has gone home, although we had a great day yesterday when her bf joined us for 'lunch' - lasted until 8.30 pm. :rotfl: :rotfl:
Anyway - No Spending Envisaged today - we've got more than enough food for a 'buffet' evening tonight - and eldest daughter is bringing the wine. :beer:'A Happy and Safe New Year to Everybody'
