Met up with Hannah Courtoy a week next Tuesday
My barber will be opening at 9am, with three hours lead time I’m gonna be pretty steamboats by the time I go to get me hair done

Late night hairdressing is quite a thing in Brixton.

Some Afro hairstyles take a long time to do, and hairdressers can be quite sociable places, compared to the curt barbershops that just do short back and sides and you’re in an out in 15 minutes with barely a word exchanged

Yes, that's what I meant. There's a whole culture of hanging out and socialising in barbers' shop and hairdressers. A culture I clearly am not familiar with.

One positive of the rona is barbers are encouraged not to chat, in and out in 15 minutes with barely a word exchanged is my idea of heaven.

I think the night will go like this for some: get thoroughly tanked up before you arrive. Drink as much as you can during your two hours. Kick up a fuss when asked to leave and piss off the staff. Buy a load of cans and sit outside the pub with your mates as they're all hoofed out. Keep on drinking. Kick off when the cops turn up.

Look out, he's got a gnu!
Just generally, and long prior to Covid-times, I was becoming amazed at the number of new hairdressers/barbers opening here, over the last two or three years!
There must have been a huge suppressed demand, because both the old and new shops always seemed to be full, right into the evening, on Sundays, etc.
So I can well understand if plenty open at midnight (or very early at least), especially right now!
There are, or were, thousands of hairdressers/salons about. It seemed to be one of the big self started businesses.
I live in a fairly quiet place and the high street consisted of basically 4 salons and a barbers at one point (3 salons and a barber at the time of Covid)

Good, no beer fun for the oink oinkers.
I live off a street that's near enough wall to wall bars and restaurants, and except for a couple which look not to have survived the lockdown, I think they're all opening tomorrow. It'll probably be mayhem down there by mid-afternoon. Think I'll pass on that, thanks, and have a drink with some friends in the garden at home.

Coronavirus R rate creeps up above 1 in London just hours before lockdown eases
Government figures reveal that the R rate could be as high as 1.1 in London - meaning cases of the deadly virus are starting to grow again - while it could have reached 1 in the Midlands, the North East and Yorkshire, the South East and the South West

I saw a post on Facebook from a hair dresser saying they were booked up until the 12th of July. It's all done by appointments so I can see why someone would go at midnight if otherwise having to wait another 3 weeks.
During all this, I've found I can use clippers just fine and don't have much hair to fuss about anyway. Sorry Vinnie, I prob won't be back for a while...

I yearn for the day you don't post arrogant self centred shite but that that's not what urban or any online forum (or even life) is about. You can post what you want and so can WoW.

Nah. Short back, sides, and top is the way to go. Less fucking around changing clippercombs that way.

Its whats already happening. I went past a pub earlier today off a side street near Dalston, the pub was doing takeaway as many are, street had a lot of people all drinking Friday pints.

You stop disrupting threads needling me with 100% irrelevant digs (and stupid nicknames), and I won't order you what to do either.
Give that a go maybe?
You don't have to like either me or my posts, but you have a record of derailing threads by doing this.
Virtually all other Urbans** manage not to.

That doesn't make you look good, does it?
