In 1890 according to the National Archives currency converter, 2d would equate to 50p now! I pay £5 for my haircut and I think that's cheap!  :)

Yes, but look at the hairstyles!
MarkyP - where do you go?  It might be worth travelling.  Of course, I don't get pensioners discount yet!  ;D

Full version of my avatar attached.
Apologies because I know some of you have seen it before.
Not my oldest photo, but one of my favourites.  4 gens of Robert Forrests from my gg grandad to my uncle Bobby.

MODIFIED - Young Bobby was born in 1911 so this is a recent photo by standards on this thread.

Joboy.  Brilliant thread!  Sorry I threw a spanner in the works at the beginning. :(

Dave ...... I didn't actually notice the hairstyles ..... but wonder if that was the style back then ;D

Glad you put the photo up ..... I haven't seen it and it is great ..... haven't seen many photos of generations with men taken.   What a keepsake :D
