Just wanted to post my experience of little Clippers today as it was not a pleasant one. I took my 3 year old girl to have a haircut. We regularly go but have not been for a while and the lady that usually does it was not around so had someone else. It was obvious right from the word go that she didn't want to chat, which is fine, people have unsociable days and it is not a problem at all. However, she was very rude to me, and to my little girl who was behaving very well at the time with constant sighing and tuting if her instructions were not being followed immediately.

When you are in the business of cutting children's hair you have to expect certain things and be quie quick about it anyway. She was constantly scolding her and telling her she is bound to get a wonky haircut and when I said that she is lucky that she is sitting still at all, she told me that this is not good enough.

When I suggested to take a bit more off she got so annoyed and once finished (took an extra 3 minutes!!) and I told my daughter to say thank you she didn't merit us with a response, just walked to the till, said the price was ?15 (not bad for 10 minute service!) and didn't even said bye although we did.

As there are plenty of places for a children's haircuts in ED I would definitely not go there again. In fact my friend said GM do them for ?10 and they are very nice about it so will be going there instead.

Yes I would definitely recommend GM for kids. So sorry about your experience but we've found the same at LCs. I took my two to GMs yesterday and because it was their third time getting a cut they got a 'lucky dip' of a painting on canvas set for eldest (aged 6) and colouring in book and pencils for younger (aged 3). They have a loyalty card thing so every third time there they get a gift. That along with getting a proper hair wash in the 'zen' room (not in Saturdays sadly) and a lolly each time - and yesterday strawberries and cream also!


I reckon we'll keep going there :)

We had a great experience at Little Clipper today, the lady was really lovely to our (toddler) daughter, we were all made to feel very welcome & she did a brilliant haircut! When we asked her to take a bit more hair off, she was most accommodating.


We came away with a keep sake of our daughters first haircut too, an envelope containing her locks, with her name, date & 'first haircut' written on the front!


Also, as the haircut didn't take that long, we were only charged 50% of the advertised price.


All in all a great experience and would definitely recommend to others....

      How late is your Christmas Card

      By Pugwash · Posted

      For some strange reason, hubby likes to spend 'big' on family cards birthday and Christmas. I think it may have stemmed from his mother- she equated money with status and was a bit of a snob!  She was also quite eccentric - we asked for a suitcase one year and got a set of 4. One year she gave hubby the equivalent of a hearing aid - it was a device to hear bird song. Nobody we know send expensive cards. We have a twice yearly set of cards from the Foot and Mouth Painting Artists and have done for the last 30 plus years. I think they are around £12 for set of 10  - cannot remember what we paid this winter but they are fantastic value and beautiful paintings.  One of the best places around to buy cards is the Fair Trade Centre at Christ Church Barry Road. Fantastic selection with a starting price of £1.30.

      DVLA Licence Renewal

      By Pugwash · Posted

      I had to renew my licence - took photocopy of my current licence and also my renewal application and posted everything off. Within 10 days received my new licence. My old licence was due to run out in January so I submitted the renewal early December.

      Any interest in a Barter scheme?

      By Pugwash · Posted

      I cannot remember who ran/organised the original ED LETS. They had meetings at the ED Community Centre every so often. I think there were about 20 - 25 people involved.

      Decision 2 April - Proposed Development - The Sidings, Railway Rise, SE22

      By ianr · Posted

      That looks consistent with what I saw when I checked a few weeks ago, after someone raised a fresh thread asking about the progress.  I was about to post here asking if anyone could help with what seemed a bit of  a  mystery.  The planning register didn't show the application as decided.  I couldn't find any minutes of the committee meeting that James reported on last year, or any mention in any other minutes of the application.  The meeting was itself  flagged in the meetings schedule as MOVED (presumably to another date).   Incidentally, I remember one of the atttached planning documents being a report on the financial prospects then pertaining.  As far as I understood and remember it seemed to show the construction for sale of the buildings a ? poor prospect for the investment.  I'm no expert though.
