I would think the 28p he spent on food was quite a lot for those days. Shame about the lack of cash machines

Welcome to an inspiring new job. What a challenge you have!

A fine piece of writing. The story of so many lives, but unique to this one. Everything changes when the things we take for granted are no longer there. Excellent

Hair dressing is one of the few services which cannot be automated. Every hairdresser is (should be?) an artist in their own right. It is an interesting concept to write about all the hairdressers you have known. For me however they all blur into a long series of conversations about holiday and what I am doing the next weekend. For the last few years my wife has cut my hair with Wahl clippers. I get the best haircuts I have ever had now!
