THE BARBERS OF DE GRILLE

A Nightcliff barber shop , broken into several times, has moved into new premises with a strong protective grille over all windows. It is a stone’s throw from the office of the Nightcliff ALP gavel banger , Jane Aagaard , and a short distance from the Nightcliff Police Station , the one identified for years as a POLI E STATION ( letter C missing, not replaced as if a Third World country...similar to the Darwin War Memorial fiasco . )


Another nearby barber shop , also subjected to break ins, operates behind a security metal screen and reinforced door. These tonsorial artists , trying to earn an honest buck , at times must feel they are like Elmer Fudd - receiving a frequent, unwanted number one economic haircut by that crazed barber , Bugs Bunny , to the tune of Rossini’s opera , The Barber of Seville .
