  I’m not whingeing, just curious why this particular fellow was chosen

But he has never been on the telly despite you advertising same every week?

I always thought it was a placeholder image before someone logs in.

I only just passed by there. This one is actually super legit! Best of the lights around the city this year. In another universe the column has some light feature on it year round. ..but there’s probably no salt or sugar in that universe so maybe we’re not doing so bad in this one.

Excellent! Well done to the artist. And congratulations, Marco!

Never mind the mockers. It was a lady who did hair who kept my Mum up with the news of the town. And one of the reasons my Mum went to her was she figured out how to make her hair look wonderful. She had incredibly light, fly-away hair (which my daughter, her grand-daughter, inherited. Apparently that is my fault) and getting it to stay in anything for a week was not easy.

Since March I have asked my niece for a number, and about the best I can say is so far I have not been bald.

‘Hair artist’ may be bandied as an insult, but having seen what this lady could do with my Mum’s hair I would have to say that there are many hair artists out there. Marco, I know, does it differently. But he could not do it if he did not understand his medium.

Please keep it up
