    Yeah - they just unveiled that this lunchtime. Can't see it lasting, there's a lot of loyalty to Andrew's slightly further up the hill.

    Weird thing is that unit would probably work as a cafe again, as the stretch by the station has livened up since the Sainsbury's opened.

    perhaps the sign is to attract Bald Eagles who just need a trim round the edges

    Please don't tell me KM has ventured into hairdressing now, that naming decision would be right up there with "that's weird" comments.

    The name is about as
    Imaginative as our owners hunt for new recruits...this is contagious.

    They'll go bust but reappear owing the surrounding shops a fortune

    The one round the corner by the chippy has a slogan that makes me chuckle every time I go past....blowed if I can remember it though!

    It's those palace fans winding us up. I'm going to open up 'Seagulls Barbers' in Croydon, Surrey.

    Yep, Richard Murray was his first customer. :-)

    I'm going to open Addicks' Barbers soon, and show KM how to run a business. Attracting the same loyalty as CAFC, features will be:

    - a different manager every week
    - poor haircuts most of the time, but customers will still keep coming back for more
    - stylists recruited who have never cut an Englishman's hair, but with plenty of experience in Belgian coiffeurs
    - constant encouragement to hapless kids on day release from Erith College, because they are "one of our own"
    - opportunity to clean your own seat before your cut
    - Toni & Guy scouts there to snap up anyone who can hold some scissors properly
    - Helpful travel advice when you fancy a blow dry one Tuesday evening in our Huddersfield salon

    Nothing weird in this, is there?

    It was only published twenty minutes ago :-)

    Think the sign was painted over yesterday.

    Common sense prevails. The new owner will call the salon "Katrien's Kuts"
