If my fringe is this long during lockdown...what on earth does Claudia Winkleman's look like?

One of the things I’m looking forward to when we’re out of lockdown is having my hair cut.

My fringe is now so long that I’ve started to resemble Claudia Winkleman, which makes me wonder how long must Claudia’s fringe be now?

It could be dangerous. She perhaps needs to think about clipping it to one side or her vision could be seriously impaired.

My hair’s not dyed, so that doesn’t need sorting, but I appreciate I’m perhaps in a minority here.

I do know that some people have asked their significant others to assist with home dyeing.

I’m not saying that this could lead to a spike in divorce figures, but I fear that’s a real possibility.

I haven’t been trusted to trim either my husband or daughter’s hair.

This is fair enough, and I don’t really want that responsibility.

I couldn’t live with the blame and the shame if neither of them could leave home for essential purposes.

We discussed the purchase of hair clippers before husband started resembling a Yeti, but decided against it.

There were multiple reasons, but briefly they became as difficult to purchase locally as loo rolls, soap and flour.

This hampered any hope of obtaining them as I’m still in my ‘mentioning no-names large internet company who sell everything from A to Z’ shopping boycott.

Again, I’m probably in a minority, but I just think they are now too powerful and dominant, and I worry about smaller businesses surviving, particularly after this coronavirus lockdown.

I’m also trying to buy British.

I’ve attempted this before, but other than food shopping, it became ludicrously difficult.

Genuinely, I’m trying to buy things made either in this country, or from trusted EU, US or Commonwealth companies when buying from the UK is impossible.

I was hoping that hairdressers would be one of the first businesses allowed to open before the nation’s locks get seriously out of control, however it seems that this might not be until July now.

But if someone could look at re-opening dentists fully before our nation’s teeth head back to the Dark Ages, that would be great.
