Occasionally I go for something a bit different with my hair style and clothes; so I recently decided to be bit more radical than normal and opt for a mohican style haircut. I got the usual funny remarks about mid life crisis (maybe true in my case!), BA Baracas, I ain't gettin' on no plane!, Jake from the Tweenies and all that kind of stuff.
No problem, kinda funny and well I guess it goes with the territory really.
That sad and unfortunate fact however, is that the older and more conservative folk seem to have a problem with this. They don't care for all that and seem to have some preconceived notion that you are thug about to go out and you are about to rob someone or break the law. You can see it in their eyes, the sideways looks and whispering. If they can, they'll make life difficult for you and in their way let you know that you're not welcome.
