Good idea Tony!

You could open up an alternative barber's. Piercings & ink welcome if not necessary. Just leave your attitude at the door & come in & have a great shave.

I know exactly what you mean, Metalhead. My work history is very chequered. It does make finding a decent interesting job more difficult. I would have suggested trying some voluntary work as a way in. It seems to impress employers no end if you are prepared to do something without obvious reward. Cannot think why.
