Symi Chat

In all my visits to Symi, I've never seen a men's (or unisex) hairdresser. Do Symi men have to choose between a trip to Rhodes and waiting for the mother/wife/girlfriend to get her scissors out?

I ask particularly because with next month's visit to Symi I'm going to have to choose otherwise between having an extra haircut before I go or looking like an Old English Sheepdog by the time I come back!

I reckon they'd all be unisex, Anthony.
Just steer clear of Minas Coiffeur, you'll be well and truly clipped!!!

It looks as if we're going to be neighbours again for one week of your holiday Anthony. Twice in a year - I'm turning into some sort of stalker!

We usually have nail scissors in the first aid kit so if I can be of help just let me know. How hard can this hairdressing lark be?

Easy, Allan? How about letting Anthony have a shot at you first?
At least I don't have to worry about coiffeurs, I have a solar powered sex panel and go to the same barber as kojak.

I'm rapidly heading that way myself OG. It's the stress of moderating y'know!

Allan, I don't know about neighbours, because I'm staying at the Taxiarchis this year. The Makrakis was a bit far away from Jean's for my liking late at night (plus I prefer Chori� anyway). And as somebody who worked in the safety-conscious chemical industry I had drilled into me "always hold on to the hand-rail when going up or down stairs" (seemed a bit overcautious when I was in my 20s but now that I'm getting older and less steady it seems more like self-evident common sense). There's no handrail at all on the top third of the stairs down from Makrakis which made it seem particularly risky: a long flight of straight stairs broken only by short landings where you would most probably bounce before rolling on to the next flight and emerging on to the harbour road under the wheels of a passing car. Not so much as !

(I did make this comment to Laskarina on my holiday feed back form - it will be interesting to see whether anything has happened - though I doubt it!)

Hi Anthony

I think you may be confusing me with someone else. I was your your upstairs-but-one neighbour for the last week of your holiday in May/June this year (most years in fact) and will be at Frank's for a week from Sept 20th.

Not long now!

Apologies Allan - I've placed you now.

Two refugees from Laskarina who can't get their preferred accomodation in the George in September!

Refugees who can't afford George twice a year in our case!
