Hairy problems....

Wanbro's post about getting his hair cut (read...mauled) made me smile!

It took me back about 16 years when I had just moved to Germany. I was living in a southern suburb of Hamburg called Harburg and at that time had hair long enough to sit on! So after I had been there a month or so I realised that a trim was in order...so I took myself off to the hairdresser armed with phrase book and notes written by my colleagues....obviously something was dramatically lost in translation as before I knew it a good 10 inches had been cut into my hair and all was lost. I left the hairdresser with hair that just came below my shoulders.....it put me off hairdressers for a long, long time!
