It would make a great TV show.

I'm soooooo thinking of going over to the other side too....."Yeah I am" & it sounds like you swing between the two, so can you take me. Or are you not going that way........yet?



Cheeky pie monkey.... you sound like the "chatty type" so you can use my "dictaphone" any time you like!



W**F

Woof - I will deal with you later. You sound fantastic.


Bob - don't be so hard on yourself! I'm sure you'd scrub up ok with a decent haircut. Maybe a bit of moisturiser? I have a picture of you in my head and it looks like a cross between John McCririck and Sir Rhodes Boyson. PLEASE post a pic, I'm dying to know if I'm right.

Once "we" get *Bob* sorted I quite fancy that bed hair look or the wedgie.


Can you do both?


Is it hard?

Many of the residence in the "shadier" area of Camberwellgreen could do with a haircut Maurice, yes indeed!


However I don't think it's their lifestyle priority really.


Thank goodness there is a hilly divide between us all.

James, do you have any idea how mincey you're coming across?

I nearly always go to the barber down at the end of Barry Road, more or less opposite the Clock House. A tenner for a basic cut, proper cut-throat razor to tidy up your neck, no superfluous chit-chat but conversation if you want it, free beer in the fridge if you want it. oh, and they do a decent job of cutting my hair too.


And if anyone works around Victoria, the barber on Page Street near the Regency Cafe is about ?8 or ?9 for a reasonable haircut with even less time spent discussing the weather.

*Bob*, there's no point in carrying on this sterile dispute. We all agree that a "haircut" is a humble product, for which a fee of ?10 is perfectly adequate, and ?15 verging on the princely.


James, on his missions 'up West' (or, curiously, 'down East'), is clearly is search of a "hairstyle", which is another thing entirely. For such a beast ?30 or ?40 may indeed be appropriate. Happily, as a gentleman of modesty and discretion, I have never been in need of such frivolity, and so cannot comment.

The Clipper- OK, but pricey. And what was that pish about being open 'til 7pm on Thursdays? Twice I left work early to make it back for 6.30ish, both times closed. Meh!


Jazzes- only been once, but pretty good haircut- ?12.


BUT, you can't beat a proper Turkish barber who'll take a blazing torch to your lugs to singe off that embarrassing sprouting ear hair, do a cut throat razor wet shave, not bother with extraneous conversation, and address you as 'sir' at the end of it. Then you know you've been properly served, as a Gentleman ought to be!

You get what you pay for I'm afraid. We do live in a democracy though, so you are welcome to have bad hair if you choose. I choose to look handsome.


You're on great form this thread James... I do hope I'm right in thinking you're just messing.


I once spent ?60 on my hair, in my younger days, when I had all sorts of bright red, copper, and black bits in it. I then remembered that I am a bloke.


Basically, I just want hair that I can scruff up in 2 seconds and forget about.

Haircut Sir? at the bottom of Tulse Hill is a trad barber. I used to go there when I was foolish and vain enough to have hair.

It was once featured in The Face as being the best place in London to get an authentic flat top and DA.

Make of that what you will.

>>I once spent ?60 on my hair, in my younger days, when I had all sorts of bright red, copper, and black bits in it. I then remembered that I am a bloke


That sounds fabulous. But why did you give up your dashing hairsyle? Why should women have the monopoly on flamboyance?


Let's not forget that before those silly repressed Victorians made us dress down, men preened and posed at least as much as women. Look to the animal kingdom - the female duck is drab but the drake is fagulous. So go forth and be dandy. Invest in your hair. It's in our genes.

    • Where did I say he did a good job? Yup and Corbyn was very close to Len McCluskey and funded by Unite wasn't he...they're all as bad as each other... Labour have to purge their party of the far-left - they're a disaster. Allan Johnson summed it up so well on election night in 2019....  
    • Thank you for the detailed advise @trinidad It is definitely damage we are concerned about. I don’t think Evri would agree to pay the bill to fix our gate or letter box if they were to be damaged as a result of their delivery drivers helper. Our doorbell can be heard from outside when rung so we don’t quite believe the aggressive simultaneous door/letter box banging is necessary. It can be quite a shock it is done very aggressively.  I’ll definitely action the steps you’ve kindly provided along with a phone call tomorrow. I do sympathise with the role drivers have and how busy they are, which is why we tried communicating directly with her but sadly we haven’t succeeded 
    • What outcome would you like? Disciplinary action? Not to have the driver back? Retraining? I know there is alot of pressure on drivers to deliver within a set day. if he slams the gate, is it evidence he is causing damage, or is the noise a irritant to yourself? You could put a sign up or buy a signing asking to close the gate gentle???? can you hear the door bell from the door? he might be ringing, not hearing and therefore knocking. In trhe notes section of the be livery page, there is a note section, although there is not 100 per cent these notes would be read as these drivers are constantly rushing.  I did a google search for you, i found this and you can try the envri website Contact Us | Evri   To complain to Evri, you can follow these steps: Contact Customer Service: Call Evri's customer service at 0330 808 5456 for assistance with your complaint.    1 Write a Letter: Address your complaint to Capitol House, 1 Capitol Close, Morley, Leeds, West Yorkshire, LS27 0WH.    1 Use the Official Website: Visit the Evri complaints page on their official website for detailed instructions on how to submit a complaint.    2 Email or Call for Specific Issues: For issues like missing or damaged parcels, you can email or call 0800 988 8888, which is free to call.    1 These methods will help you effectively communicate your concerns to Evri.   My driver is called anthony, he is brilliant to be honest. I cant fault him.
    • When I have more time and energy, I will look up the actual number of votes cast for each party in that election, rather than the number of seats won. I'm interested to see that you apparently  think that  Boris Johnson did a good job of "leading the country through Covid." Is your memory really that short? I won't stoop to calling Johnson and his cronies names in the way that you seem to think is appropriate for left wing politicians. At least the left wing politicians have some semblance of morals and a concern for people who aren't in some over privileged inner circle and/or raking in money for themselves on the back of an epidemic. I'm not going to open a can of worms on here  by commenting on the disgraceful so called "purge".
