There’s no need to be digging people out for trying to look smart

i'm not digging anyone out mate but you could never stay looking smart or clean more than two minutes were i live  and the only person ive seen in the last two weeks have been farmers that looked a lot scruffier than me

Similarly , there’s no excuse for going about like a tramp either .

A lot of them are Azers as well , as they are basically Turks from another country. 
 

The reasons I use them is nothing to do with the cost , they know the grooming stuff inside out , very friendly , well mannered and it’s a good way to chill on for half an hour , go to a uk barber and you get f**k all service , no brew etc , no crack , Margaret whose fifty six with a fave like a slapped arse , answers the phone every two minutes and it’s like being in life on mars or you get a peaky blinders Esqe gaff where it’s thirty bar and piped Mumford and sone on repeat . Duck that 

Wilf would be proud ?

Admirable mate , however finding such a service locally isn’t that east , I have two cars , a seven seater and a small type for her , it costs me twenty sovs a month to have them immaculate in twenty mins . That may be a moot point however that time saving , Cost allows me to invest more in my own kids , o couldn’t hardly pay the electric on the hoover / car shampoo for that . Don’t get me wrong I’m not shy in wringing a sponge out myself . 
 

i supported a window cleaner for about a year , a tenner a month to do my semi 3 bed , he came twice over the summer , typical of local businesses round here 

Its like anything mate if someone isnt any good them f**k them off......ive nothing against paying people to do shit i dont want to do myself but they best do it right.....for years we had an old boy come and do the garden he would spend 1 day a week trimming and cutting tidying up etc he'd help himself to grub and have a nice day as he was passionate about gardening.....all he wanted was a bit of beer money but we used to treat him well and he became like one of the family theres nothing heroic in that i just think you should look after your own......he died a few years back and now we're stuck with a couple of miserable pricks who charge 3 x more for 5 x less work....but oh yes they're a lot more professional ffs !!

Totally understand the taking pride in being well turned out. I religiously have a fortnightly cut. I actually enjoy going to the barbers and would find another if it became simply a routine service. 40 mins of talking bollocks and having a bit of crack, to be picked up again in a fortnight, ad infinitum...

Men (and women I suppose) have had their little routines since forever, whether it's going to the bookies, newsagents, barbers, pub etc. Just simple shit that keeps you sane.

I suppose I'm fortunate to have an English one that is 17 quid a cut.
