You Lad! 'Aircut!

I just finished paying the Oz equivalent to almost 10 quid for a fairly run of the mill trim. It seems a far cry from popping down to the Station Barbers for the same service which only cost a quid.

I came across quite a few characters during my service; the bloke and his horny missus and Alsatian dog at Finningley back in the late 60s; and who could ever forget the overpowering pungency of the chain smoker at Honington! Most of the Station Barber's had operated from their little cupboard for decades.

Is the Station Barber still operating? And how much does he/she charge nowadays?
