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'.

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?

      What is a "culture warrior"? What "facts" are you referring to, and why the inverted commas? Yes, the "garden" is big (I can use inverted commas too!) Yes, it has seats.  Are you a fan of AstroTurf and artificial plants? How would you define a "garden"?

      "I'm not surprised the culture warriors have showed up with their usual "facts"." what does this even mean?

      It was such a lovely pub.  I drank and occasionally ate there for many years.  It had a locals feeling about it.  It had the most grumpy couple who managed it, and an outrageous gothed up person behind the bar.  Then it went through several makeovers and it was never the same again. Bums on seats.  The plastic grass, little cabins, relatively expensive alcohol, ubiquitous menu, all brings the punters in.  Pub business has changed.   The brewery who ran their pubs so well has long since gone.  They don't need my business and my sense of nostalgia to survive.

      I'm surprised there's such hate for the Wood House. I don't particularly like the interior decor but it's good a big garden with a bunch of covered and uncovered seating. I'm not surprised the culture warriors have showed up with their usual "facts".
