    Re: Hope your Mum's well, mate

    Nearly every shop that shuts down in Hoyland and The Common seams to re-open as a hairdressers/beauty salon/barbers!

    There are now three barbers in Hoyland town center!

    Hair must grow quick round here...there must be fertilizer in the water ;)

    Be visiting me mam god rest her soul next month, and I think I'll make a day of it if weathers decent and have a few beers round Elsecar. Is the pitch and putt still going? I once threw my club across the road as a 10 year old. Was marched all way back home to Cobcar Lane by my dad who had hold of my ear (the one that Pete sliced). :D

    Re: Hope your Mum's well, mate

    Ernest sylvester,, that's a blast from the past. I started going there with my dad when I was a bairn and his shop was on the common. He did a nice line in driving coats from the back and "ahem, something for weekend sir". It always puzzled me why men would need chewing gum only at weekends.

    Hang on, googling....

    A bit yeah, more coiffured.
    Shop was off Stead Lane. He had one of those big old valve radios with illuminated dial and a walnut veneer, a beauty. Tuned into Hallam or something local.

    Re: Hope your Mum's well, mate

    He was on the common when I first started going, I think it was in, what became the fishing shop, but I could be wrong. Then he moved into his front room on fitzwilliam/chapel street? Always talking about his lad who was training to be a teacher or popping into the back for a chat with Maisie. Slowest barber I've ever known. God knows how ever made any money, 2 haircuts per hour if you were lucky. If you weren't stood outside his shop, first thing Saturday morning, Saturday morning was a write off.

    I think it was just further up and is now Grays coaches.

    You had to go right through to the back past rows of clothes on hangers if I remember right. Odd place.

    Proper glad I went to page two of the threads for an update on Dale Jennings. I now know the hairdressing scene of Hoyland in the 1980s in the time it took to take a dump. Cheers lads

    Re: Hope your Mum's well, mate

    Barbers, not hairdressers!! There's a method to the madness if you follow it closely. The challenge, if you chose to accept it, is to credibly and logically steer this thread back onto the subject of Dale Jennings and his imminent signing for the Reds. :)

    Do you still have that fantastic taste in music?

    You're welcome ;)

    Ernest wouldn't do the "tennis ball" shaves on the short haircuts of any kids either cos he said it made em look like yobs.

    Bit more info for you to enjoy :p

    I used to go to Freds down Donny Road , half moon neck, good at doing sides and back of the head but because he specialised in old mens hair he didn't have much idea how to do the top of your head
