According to the ‘news’ and as mentioned by A K Haart, many barbers, nail bars an’ such have been raided on suspicion of doing naughty stuff. This reminded
me of something I spotted a little bit after a goodly while ago. Possibly a comment on Going Postal - where else?
This fellow went along to a local place he’d been using for a couple of years and found it closed and shuttered. He bobbed into the shop next door and enquired as to wot
had happened. The shop owner replies, “You mean the Turkish barbers? He’s been arrested on suspicion of money laundering and selling contraband alcohol and tobacco and also selling drugs.”
The fellow
stood back in surprise, “Damn. Just goes to show you’ve really no idea wot goes on in the background of some of these places, eh? I’ve been using that place pretty regularly for about two years now and, until
you mentioned it, had absolutely no idea he was a barber...”

Ha ha - thanks for the link and the joke. All locals probably know which shops are dodgy and which ones actually have customers, even the local police.
A K Haart,
You're more than welcome. Keep up the great work my friend.
We do need something to make us smile a while in these dark daze do we not?
Do you know Mackenzie Phillips‘ background, Foggy? She was an abused child of one of the Mamas and Papas singing group.
James,
No, I didn't know that.
