Cheap haircut in Wapping?

You have got to be kidding me...this - £14(!) - appears to be the cheapest price (within a mile of where I work) to get a dry buzz cut (yes, exactly the kind of hair cut that takes about 90 seconds and very little skill - it's barely worth sitting down for!)...the average price, shopping around, was £18! I just don't understand why people pay that sort of money - Well, I'm not going to...my hair will just have to stay long until the weekend (when I can get it done in Surrey for under a tenner), so there...!

That is, unless anyone knows where the *normal* folk of Wapping go when they need a quick barnet chicker (trust me, it isn't anywhere near the robdogs of St Katherine docks)...

Update - Flyingpops is out in Crawley buying some clippers...

Thomas' first (real) hair cut

Okay (I admit) he's had a tiny little trim once before (just to stop his fringe getting in his eyes), but this was the first time he has had a *proper* haircut (as he was starting to look like a 70's version of Owen Wilson from the film The Wedding Crashers)...although when we asked him first thing in the morning if he wanted one, the curt response was, of course, a firm "NO".

Anyway, bribed with a great big handful of "TWIGETTS!!!" he practically flew up into the high chair and sat there very quietly, watching his hair vanishing onto the floor-

-where Mummy harvested a little handful to put into the baby memories book before Daddy swept it up and put it in the bin...the good thing, unlike some of his little friends, whose first haircut permanently removed their cute baby curls, Thomas' just sprang back up (the minute the "HAIR TIP!" was removed (just a little bit shorter)...looks like he's got something more in common with Daddy then... ;)

Thomas' first hair cut...

If you can believe it, this is the first time Thomas has needed a hair cut (Saturday morning last), and that only because his fringe was starting to get in his eyes (don't know what the problem is there, I seem to cope with it fairly well ;), but Flyingpops seemed to think it needed doing, and so it was done...His face was an absolute picture while it was being cut, starting with very, very confused (above) -

- turning quickly to slightly annoyed...dispite this he sat very still throughout the process...first cut of *many* - Done... ;)
