    Exactly this. I go to my barber Colin and absolutely nowhere else. It's a trust thing. He knows my bonce, he knows what looks good, and he doesn't try and give me a different cut. He just does the job perfectly, for sensible money and we always have a laugh.

    Colin, eh? Sounds like a lovely boy!

    Worry when he starts offering you 'extras'....

    No seriously, I know what you mean. For a man, a barber is the place to go, or like me to a women who *knows* how to cut men's hair properly, especially if they wear it short, and which is a different ballgame from cutting women's (long) hair.

    Yeah, I know how it is, mate, and you can't put a price on that camaraderie, in favour of a 'home trim', lol!

    I don't know what a zoomer looks like - but with clippers you can attach a variety of guides so you can cut it as short or as long as you like. It's not a choice of a number one or nothing.

    I understand some still prefer to go to the barber but right now with the barber closed that's not an option. And cutting it yourself with clippers looks a lot tidier than just letting it grow wild.

    Number 8 guide leaves your hair about an inch long so not too thuggish & I can get decent results with it but any mention of cutting my own hair to my other half is met with vehement disapproval so I'll just have to carry on looking like I'm wearing a tea cosy.

    Hmm, you done something with your hair?

    TBH I seem to have missed that post, perhaps if you'd gone for something with more colour... You know, that look on most folk would be all wrong, but you manage to make it work, rocking those stockings like no one else can. Might I suggest an appropriate hat to complete the look? Like maybe a deer stalker or pith helmet.

    And what's that frock all about? Looks like a tradesman's kilt - make you popular with little old ladies when clearing their gutters

    One last question - how did Shirley manage to keep the camera steady?
