Got it chopped off, the wife gave me funny looks and said as per normal "Baldie" I am bloody 72 years old and she still calls me baldie when I get it cut I can't win, I told her you keep calling me baldie when I have a full set of hair then I will go and get an Eastenders Phil Mitchell cut, she goes all quiet then because she knows I would.
Managed to get one of the regular ladies doing my hair so she knew where the cut was etc, the trouble with this barbers I have used for over 12 years now caters for ladies too but a lot of old dears so it can be busy.
