The shearing

From time to time I notice the shearing of the verges of our green and pleasant borough, most recently at reference 1. Yesterday, I got fed up with all the hair in my eyes and decided that it was my turn.

Gave up on trying to find something like a 'Which' review on home hair clippers. John Lewis, a shop one can take on trust, was largely sold out. While Amazon offered a huge choice, with prices varying from £10 to £200. Never heard of any of them and we ended up opting for something vaguely mid-range, a little over £30 from an outfit called Wahl - whom I now know to have started up in Illinois and to be the people who 'invented the world’s first electromagnetic hair clipper in 1919' - whatever one of those is. They look to be serious people in the clipping business and they also do animals. 

It turned up around 24 hours later with the package saying made in the Peoples' Republic in small letters and with the results snapped above. Certainly a lot more comfortable, if a little less symmetrical. BH is still thinking about whether she wants me to have a go at her, by way of return.
