Mems' battling barber

[steveo]

Mems has provided a rich vein for the forum so I thought they deserved a new thread that carried none of the baggage of the earlier one.

For my brutally short back and sides I had to wait for Ibz to get off the phone to his manager. They were discussing his first light heavyweight professional fight which takes place on the 18th Feb, somewhere out East London/Essex way.

Ibz is training hard and looks the business. I might go

Good luck to him. That beats talking about the girls he fancies whilst cutting the hair of my 7 year old.

[steveo]

Mick, is that illegal or even distasteful?

[Mick Mac]

Indeed not - is this supposed to be a favourable thread? - if so i'll butt out.

I had a Good hair cut at Mems 3-4 weeks back..

The Guy I had was new to the Dulwich Branch. He was friendly and attentive to my requirements.

There was absolutely NO banter between the two barbers working.

..and he charged me (old git) ?8.00. I gave him ?10.00 and he thanked me.

I will be going back next time I need a haircut.

Some of the other local barbers give a poor cut if you are paying 'Pensioner' rates.

I suppose most pensioners do not have much hair.. I have a proper mop..

P.S. You don't get many recommendations from the Fox.. so rest assured it's a genuine one ..

I've taken my son twice now and both times received very good service - they've been polite, helpful and given a very good haircut.

Went to Mem's. Guy tried to be patronising. Never went back. I doubt they miss me.

Talking of old peoples hair or lack of: what will happen to Wayne Rooney's transplants? do they stay whilst the rest disappears in a sort of reverse balding?

I think the balder you get on top, the shorter the sides should go.

DulwichFox: Glad you didn't meet the two nasty little dogs I did on Friday !! They killed a dulwich fox!!

Tried? Was the failure in achieving the attitude , or in its expression, or its effect?

He was probably just trying to be sassy.
