SHARP PRACTICE EXPOSED IN PUBLIC
When fearless Scout leader Harvey agreed to be shaved to raise money for next year's World Scouting Jamboree, he had little idea quite what he was letting himself in for. Having extracted a promise from him to keep the new facial styling intact at least until the end of Summer Camp, the devious Scouts allowed him to see what they had done.
"I really never imagined it would look anything like this!" said a stunned Harvey as he looked in the mirror. With a moustache recalling a certain German dictator, and a thin, jawline beard reminiscent of the kind of rustic bumpkin who spends his days leaning over a gate and misdirecting tourists, it was the kind of look that makes passers-by walk into lampposts!

True to his word, Harvey left his new, startling appearance unaltered for the remainder of the holiday, which included a surf school and a day at a theme park. "Sometimes I would forget all about it, but then I would notice someone staring at me with their mouth open," he added, recalling how people would try to politely not notice, but totally fail.
No doubt it was with a sense of relief that he finally shaved it all off and returned to work. It must have come as another shock when someone pointed out the attached article in the Solihull Times. It will no doubt come as yet another to see it immortalised in the Internet!
