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.

    • What was he doing on the stage at Glastonbury? Or on the stage at the other concert in Finsbury Park? Grinning like a Cheshire cat whilst pissed and stoned 20 somethings on the promise of free internet sung-- Oh Jeremy Corbyn---  What were his policies for Northern mining towns with no jobs or infrastructure? Free Internet and university places for youngsters. What were his other manifesto pledges? Why all the ambiguity over Brexit?  I didn't like Thatcher, Blair or May or Tony but I respected them as politicians because they stood by what they believed in. I respect all politicians across the board that stick to their principles. Corbyn didn't and its why he got  annihilated at the polls. A socialist, anti imperialist and anti capitalist that said he voted for an imperialist and pro capitalist cabal. He refused to say how he'd vote over and over again until the last knockings. He did so to appease the Islington elite and middle class students he was courting. The same people that were screaming that Brexit was racist. At the same time the EU were holding black and Asian immigrants in refugee camps overseas but not a word on that! Corbyn created and courted a student union protest movement that screamed at and shouted down anyone not on the left . They claimed Starmer and the centre right of labour were tories. He didn't get elected  because he, his movement and policies were unelectable, twice. He turned out not to have the convictions of his politics and died on his own sword.    Reform won't win an election. All the idiots that voted for them to keep out Labour actually enabled Labour. They'll be back voting tory next time.    Farage wouldn't be able to make his millions if he was in power. He's a very devious shyster but I very much doubt he'd actually want the responsibility that governance requires.
    • The purge of hard left members that were part of Corbyn's, Mcdonnel's and Lansmans momentum that purged the party of right wing and centrist members. That's politics. It's what Blair did to win, its what Starmer had to do to win. This country doesn't vote in extreme left or right governments. That's partly why Corbyn lost  We're pretty much a centrist bunch.  It doesn't make it false either. It's an opinion based on the voting patterns, demography and statistics. Can you explain then why former mining constituencies that despise the tories voted for them or abstained rather than vote for Corbyns Labour?  What is the truth then? But he never got elected!!! Why? He should have been binned off there and then. Why he was allowed to hang about is an outrage. I hold him party responsible for the shit show that we've had to endure since. 
    • Depends on what the Barista says doesnt it? There was no physical confrontation with the driver, OP thinks she is being targetted when she isnt. These guys work min wage under strict schedules so give them a break unless they damage your stuff
