Short back and sides

Sir, – The fashion for the younger generation hairstyle seems to be “short back and sides”, as exhibited by almost every participant in the minor football All-Ireland final, with minimal barbering skills required. In contrast my compliments to the Croke Park pitch staff for the unique pattern which was mown on the precious sward on this wonderful occasion. – Yours, etc,

JERRY HAYES,

Rathfarnham,

Dublin 16.
