hi everyone, I've been stalking :) the site for a while now, with the intention of one day touring europe with my '78 VW, so technically not a 'motorhomer', but I've bought an Adria and am off to Zante with my whippet. My daughter is working there for the summer so I'm off for a few months visiting friends along the way. Currently in brittany with my sister and family and hope to leave in a few days. I've already had a bolt gone in my front tyre so have had to wait for the garage to sort that out!! minor problem :roflmto:
anyway, I'm wondering where the long term travellers (do we call ourselves that?) get their hair cut? I'm a hairdresser , ladies and gents, and hope to pick up some work along the way!

A great idea Tantanell... maybe some cards printed for slipping under wiper blades?

Smudger told me of a local Portuguese man who did washing and ironing for the motorhomers off site camping at Vila Real, Algarve and at the other end of the Algarve a guy goes around the English vans and sorts out their satellite dishes/boxes for a fee.

...but remember not to do too much work....

Can I see the figures to back this up please !


Simples - if you take an average over the years (45) @ £9.50 and a trim every 3 weeks thats 45 x 52 / 6 x 9.50 thats £3705.00 saved and such personal service - have never found a barber that I fancy half as much as the missus and I don't have to travel to get a haircut either and such personal service !! :ROFLMAO:

I'm not a professor of mathematics but I spotted a fundamental flaw in that formula. Shouldn't "every 3 weeks" be "every 6 months at the most"? :roflmto:

Two things there - they had not invented CC s back then and when they did I had one and kept it under lock and key - you know the old saying 'whats yours is mine and what mines my own'

Did anyone suspect this ?

Graham

That would be, if he averages £9.50, over 45 years, for a haircut, what the hell is he paying now. Christ, he could have a night with a serious woman of ill repute for that average. Well it makes a change from the whip, cut my hair while I errr hmmmmm errrrrr.

Nah should have been every 6 weeks when I put 3 weeks in the missus told me my memory was fading but cannot stand hair tickling my ears so she trims it regulary - I just pick a night when she is in a good mood - those scissors look horribly sharp you know :Eeek:

I can tell when a man's bluffing. For goodness sake wipe that sweat off your brow.

In the beginning it was a charge for the volume of hair now its a charge for the finding what left - I am not going bald - just getting too tall for my hair:RollEyes:
