I went for a haircut this morning. I've been using this bloke for about a year, and he's just put his prices up from £9 to £12, which is quite a jump. However, it feels like it's gone from ridiculously cheap to reasonable, so I don't begrudge it.

He's either Turkish or Syrian, so he does a very good job, cut throat razors, waxes your ears, trims your eyebrows, all that.

When I was sitting there, however, based on how busy he is (there's always somebody behind you waiting, and you are really chancing your arm if you turn up without a booking), I thought there's no way he's not taking in about £70 - £80,000 per year. Obviously, there is rent and business rates to come out of that, but his overheads won't be high. That is a LOT more money than most graduate jobs would provide, and I bet this guy didn't waste five years in further education.

Are our kids now so brainwashed and stuck up that we even have to import barbers?
