I have been watching some classic British comedy on You Tube and back in the late sixties and early seventies was a show called On the Buses, not surprisingly about a bus company and in particular, a driver called Stan, conductor, Jack (who collects the fares) and a long suffering, miserable Hitler lookalike, called Inspector Blake or 'Blakey', Dracula or Frankenstein! It ran on Sunday evenings, I think and was centered around the bus depot and the home of Stan, who lived with his Mother, Sister and Brother in law.
I find myself laughing every time I see it and it is like Fawlty Towers, the more you watch it, the more you laugh.
In the one episode I was watching, Stan turns to Jack and says in the finest Cockney accent that 'Blakey' has finally come out with a sensible comment.
"Blimey, they must have got his head working", says Jack and Stan replies "I did see them tighten the bolts last night". Classic!
I like the finer things in life – food, wine, clothes and haircuts! Now even though I have short hair, I am very particular as to who cuts it. My latest hairdressing master – Mansour Aalam, is the new master of the crop, producing a graduation taper (no 'block' lines for me), finely blended with a textured top, if I might say so myself. What is excellent about theses guys is that despite being in business for a short time, they have been shortlisted for a major award – good luck to you all and I am sure that you will do well.
I am also working with these guys – Mansour and Nasar Aalam and Johnny Walker (what a name), helping them with their marketing and some plain, ordinary business advice about the exciting and challenging world of business as experienced in business by Yours Truly. The salon is called Aalam and I would advise anyone to give them a try.
Have to now have to attend a meeting for my staffing business Dataworkforce and then to a meeting with a golf buggy!
