Apologies if this is wildly inappropriate and I have done a search but can't find any other threads, so I hope I am not repeating an old subject. But I do just feel the need to say a word about Ken.


Ken had the barbers shop near the ironing place and the cycle shop just up from Goose Green.


My husband was in there today. It has been quite a while since Ken cut his hair so he asked the lady in the shop how Ken was - and, very sorrowfully, she told him that he had died.


This is a terribly sad because he was clearly not an old man and had, I believe, only recently retired.


We always took our little boy to Ken for his haircuts because he was so patient with him and somehow always managed to get him to sit still in the chair. And he did a lovely cut, even on a 4 year old! He always remembered our daughter, too, when it came to handing out the lollies.


As a family we are very sorry to hear of his passing and our sincere condolences go to his widow and family.

Are you referring to the Turkish gentleman who's shop was very close to Locale and next door to Rebecca's (Impress) Dry Cleaners?


If you are, apparently he had been suffering with cancer for some time now and had sold the business on because of this.


If so, he was an extremely nice person with whom I always had a laugh with each time I was in there.


This is very sad and my sympathies go to his family.

Not inappropriate at all Dorothy.


Thank you so much for letting us know,very sad indeed, Ken was a lovely man, very kind and friendly and a real gentleman.

He cut my husband and sons hair and always made us feel very welcome and loved the children.


We're very sorry to hear this, much love to his family.

    • As I said, it was my understanding. I worded it very carefully. I didn't/don't know for sure, so clearly not a fact. And hardly an "opinion", which is something completely different. You have no idea what reason anybody might have had for not voting for him (unless you can point to some opinion poll results which actually asked people?)
    • Also, just to add, the threat to kill someone's dog and try to kick it, is an additional extremely unpleasant layer. I have noticed a lot of the burst water balloons lying around in the park too- that is not great for the environment either.
    • I’m basing it on the fact that Jeremy Corbyn had repeatedly and on record said he is against mandatory vaccinations in any situation, and he wouldn’t disclose wether he had the Covid vaccine himself    as I said. Not as bad as his brother but very definitely a bit weird about the whole thing. Just say you had the vaccination Jeremy, say that everyone should and stop being weird in the middle of a global pandemic    it’s the same slippery evasive nonsense about Brexit and him. About Putin poisonings and him.     if you are happy with his evasiveness then you do you.  But there is a reason the country wouldn’t get behind him
