Kens Barber shop on East Dulwich Road


Recommended Posts

A very lovely Turkish man who greets people as they pass, I've had many conversations with him and he is very chatty. Never experienced his scissor techqieu as you may well guess, but from people I know who have been in he is pretty good.

Heard they do really good business. It is just men's, I thought I saw a woman getting her hair done in there but I think that may have been his wife - lady with long "blonde" hair?

He may well smoke cigars and appears to have been living off the fat, fat, fat of the land. Who is the mysterious blonde woman though who was sitting behind the cash desk this morning? A prize is offered for the first person to accurately answer this question.

DulwichDahlia, I have it on good authority that it was Barbara Windsor.

As for the prize, don't go to too much trouble. But if you can find a copy of the little known knockabout saucy comedy film concerning birds of prey that Barbara appeared in, I'd be grateful. Carrion Vultures it was called.

You know, I've always wondered how rattus rattus keeps such trim, well groomed fur. You just don't get shaggy rats. Curious fact. Can you remember who was on reception, at the cash desk at the back, please? Too long a story to recount in public, but nevertheless, of interest....

I'm astounded at the 'hairist' attitude. I bet you wouldn't have felt it was alright to display that sort of naked prejudice if I was French, would you? Or a Netto shopper?

SAY IT LOUD I'M BALD AND I'M PROUD!! I SAY BALD AND PROUD!! as Fred Elliot once proclaimed.

Just because a fellow is 'maturely-scalped' doesn't mean thet he won't visit a barber for what used to be known as a 'penny all off'.

And FYI we slapheads prefer the term 'tonsorially-challenged'.

Lovely man, cuts my husband and sons hair. Very friendly as is his wife.


Never seen a blonde lady although he does have children so could be one I guess, I have to ask though, why the obsession?

So, a very charming man runs a very successful and well used business, and a woman who says she is his wife, and his children, are often there, and also work in that business? That seems to be what the customers are saying. That's an ordinary situation then. Please correct me if I'm wrong.


So, why is no-one able to say - such a simple thing - who was the woman with longish, straight, to try to be more precise - maybe some people would say - ash blonde, dyed blonde, dirty blonde, silver blonde - hair. This person is about the same age as the man who was cutting hair last Saturday, and has introduced herself to various people as his wife, over a long period. She was working behind the cash desk, taking money from all the people who had their hair cut on Saturday 2 August 2008 - up to the point in the afternoon when someone arrived and started asking a few ordinary questions that would certainly be asked in the circumstances.


For some reason the woman moved at some speed from behind the cash desk at that point and went to sit on the sofas reading magazines?


Just a simple question? If I had a business too, and someone asked that question, I'm sure I wouldn't mind answering it. Would you?

This is a weird thread, why do you ask everyone about this woman when most people would just go in and ask? Or were you the person who went in and asked questions on Saturday 2 August 2008? I reckon you should call them 020 7358 0707 and ask them yourself dulwichdahlia.


Please tell us, are you his estranged lover? Are you the tax man? Are you the CPA?

    • Plenty for sale online from various ticket vendors but you'll need to part with £250 and upwards by the looks of it. Out of interest i kept an eye on the prices for the England and Italy Euro final. At one point they were on offer for a couple of grand each. On the day sellers were obviously getting itchy feet and prices dropped somewhat but never went any lower than £400. That was a few hours before kick off. There was plenty still available half an hour before kick off.   Having been to Wembley a couple of times for play off finals i found it to be not a great place to watch football. Sat three rows back from the pitch side advertising hoardings for one game and way way up in the gods for the other. We felt to far away from the pitch on both occasions. Up in the goods was just stupid because we felt cut off as well.  I don't think it was rebuilt with acoustics in mind either. Even with most of our 25k fans singing it never sounded loud because it's pretty much uncovered and too open.   Happy hunting!
    • It doesn't work as a commercial venture.  Bit churlish to say I told you so.  I told you so.  I'll send less greetings cards.  What pees me off is international postage where you can no longer send light letters at 10 grammes, normal ones up to 20g, now all at the much more expensive 100 g  Didn't we vote to take back control and price everything according to irrational units like ounces? That's some obscure humour btw   
    • Available from Monday April 8th 2024, 2on2Walkies take pride in doggie care and only walk 2 furry friends at a time. I make sure that they get plenty of doggie interaction and socialisation in the park as well as making friends. Back home happy and tired I always check that the water bowl has fresh water and always make sure the doggie is left comfortable before I leave. I'm fully insured and have a couple of slots available for local walks to either Peckham Rye Park or Dulwich Park.  Thank you!  
    • Why would they only send them recorded delivery? I used the signed for option yesterday.
