Vanity, Vanity

Bad news on Del I'm afraid.

Yes, we've all had a snigger at Del behind his back over the years. Yes, he should admit he's losing - or, frankly, near lost - his hair. Yes, it's the most implausible comb-over haircut we've ever seen. One that had Shredded Wheat suing for patent infringement. Yes, we've all wanted to tell him that - but never dared. But it's still a shame it had to end like this.

They came back from the Snorbens Abbey pilgrimage. Del was sitting up by the driver, chatting at the front of the coach. The door opened, the wind blew in and Del's hairstyle was blown from its "arrangement" on his head and flicked back across the aisle of the coach.

Normally everyone would have just pretended nothing had happened, and allowed Del to retain his dignity. But on this occasion it's hit Burton in the eye. There's no covering the whole messy business up any more. And Del has an appointment with Mr Shears in the morning.
