The state of a young chap's eyebrows on an estate agents billboard on Newport Street.

Not noticed the eyebrows, but the way the bloke on the right is standing with his arm over his head like a catalog model. Fuck off.

Mobility scooter riders.

A menace, seemingly oblivious to everything around them.

Why don't you knock it off with them negative waves? Why don't you dig how beautiful it is out here? Why don't you say something righteous and hopeful for a change?

Are they allowed on the road or not? Think not, but an old fella in Wroughton is always on the road in his.

The class 3 ones which can do 8mph are allowed on the road.

Embarrassing isn't it.

Just spotted a barber shop in Blackpool called "Man Cave".

"Italian and Turkish hot towel shave".

Wasn't aware that Italian or Turkish towels were different from any other ones.

At a Turkish barber you get a large hand towel straight from a steamer wrapped around your head along with a massage post haircut.

It's good.

Ahh, I see. That does sound good.

I go to Crazy George in Gorse Hill.
Lots of loud conversation with a fair bit of swearing and some frantic scissor work.
All for a fiver. It's great.

An old boy who used to cut my hair, was particularly pissed off that you could advertise as a Turkish barber, but he couldn't advertise as an English barber as that was considered racist... he had a point, makes no sense.

Sounds like an old wives tale. Plenty of places advertise as e.g. "Old English Sweetshop" and that kind of thing. The idea you can't fly English flags or say you're English etc is just one of the many load of cobblers peddled by the right on Facebook. Did he ask you to share if you agree?

No it's true enough... he was also pissed off by the PRS, who told him he'd have to pay to listen to Ken Bruce on Radio 2 on  his tranny.   It's just one of those things.... I daresay had he always advertised as an English barber, there would not have been a problem.

I've always thought those Old English Sheepdogs were right racist buggers!
