How come HMRC aren't on to these places ? I owed HMRC money last year and they chased me down. My window cleaner said he was cash only until I discovered someone in the next street was paying him with a card reader. Pulled him and he claimed just started but obviously had to have some of his business legit.
 


I knew a bloke (in nick now for a different offence) who was paid by one “Turkish” barber to wreck the interior of another “Turkish” barber on the north side.

Scum Graffiti barbers on Sea Road

Just seen it, absolute twats. Hope their next shites a pineapple. Lad who’s trying to get the stuff off is properly gutted.

I have to admit that dispite all of the photo's of males with 50's Hollywood haircuts around the walls of their shop no matter what anyone asked the Elsob brothers for they just shaved your head.

As a kid it took me a few years to realise that the impressive looking certificates that they had in frames on back wall of their shop were not as I had assumed deplomas gained for their hairdressing skills but were in fact public health certificates issued by the Council testifying to the sanitary conditions of the sinks

I was always a Victor man myself.

Jimmy certainly was a Top Bloke he had loads of kids employed as paper lads and although some must have been a bit of a handful I never heard him raise his voice or be rude to any kid. The dads knew him as a player before the War and there would often be long converstaions going on when you went in to the shop about SAFC's latest player or last match. I remember Mary too who was his assistant she was a lovely lady and Jimmy's twin sons who must have been in their late teens when I knew them would sometimes be helping out.

Jimmy and Gilbert who pretty much ran it when we were growing up in the seventies and eighties. Can't remember their Dad although know all about him. Gave us a box of old programmes and an old school brown casey.

Growing up there was a barbers end of Pallion Road / Merle terrace way. Barber in there, baldy bloke, glasses (think of him as a skinny Sgt Billo but it was a long time ago so prob diff to how I remember him) think it was called Adam's. Anyway, cut the hair of all the workers who would walk up Steels bank (think it is actually woodbine terrace) no matter what you asked for just short back and sides. My brother reckoned he was Jewish and cut hair in a concentration camp, how true I don't know but he could certainly shave hair quick enough so could have been true. Everybody had a flat cap and would smell of tabs and brylcreem. It was a very different time - no metro sexuals back then.

Used to work for Jimmy (Jr) in mid-late 80’s, newspaper boy then in shop😊
Think Gilbert ran the shop, then Jimmy (Jr).
Jimmy had a son, Tim who died around 1990 .
