Sarah, I left back in the 60s.

I try to be neutral and polite but it is hard and getting even more difficult at times.

Ah !! Jan you probably wont know him then
I briefly worked at Harrods in the 70s , I did the window displays and point of sale for Wedgewood , I was so nervous everytime I did it as the china was so expensive , that I shook like a leaf
I too worked in London in the sixties. I had one of the first geometric cuts at Vidal Sassoon's, but the staff were so interested in their celebrity client downstairs that I didn't get much attention. It was Scott Walker of the Walker Brothers. Not my nearest brush with fame as I passed Des O'Connor in Regent Street and stood next Dick Emery in the Silver Grill chip shop in Dover in the days when the shows used to come.

The barber in Cherry Tree just after 8 this morning was up and running, the various tools of covid paranoia (gel, masks, etc.) at the ready. The cutter didn't seem too worried about the long queue of men outside, though, slowly soaking in the drizzle, risking pneumonia for a trim. Still, at least they were guaranteed a temperature check, something difficult to obtain at a doctors' surgery lately.

Tried one this morning in Perivale (don't ask). Turned out he was totally pissed as he'd been in the pub for 06.00.
Made an excuse and left.
