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.

    • What is the reason for the change in name? Just curious.
    • Why change it?  You’ve got a fantastic historic, memorable name and you want to change it for something innocuous.
    • From the school newsletter:   A New Name for Dog Kennel Hill As you know we have been discussing and consulting with stakeholders about a  name change at DKH for a while. Following engagement with staff, pupils and  families, we gathered all views on a name change for the school and after  careful consideration of the feedback, the Local Committee and the Trust have  agreed with changing the school name to Grove Primary School from  September 2025.  Over the next few months we will begin a gradual process of changing our  name on signage, our website and emails etc. We will keep you updated.  We will be looking at designing a new logo to match the new school name and  will be working closely with a graphic designer to get creative. The school  council will be actively involved in this process. We will share the results with  you as soon as a design has been agreed and confirmed. We will be creating a  new school jumper to replace the old one, once the logo has been finalised. We  will phase this in over time.  We know that this is a welcoming change for some and that there are  parents and children who will be sad about the change. However, as a school  we think it will be a positive change for our school community and we will  work together to ensure that the ethos and culture of DKH will remain!
