Reading in the 'I' paper today that thieves robbed a hair making shop in New Delhi of £15,000 worth of wigs and hair after tying up the staff. I said to my wife that they probably did it because they were too poor to pay.

Mind you the current French for a wig is a Perruque, not to be confused with a similar thing that can sit on ones shoulder.... a Perroquet...(Parrot)

Thank you. I will take that as a compliment. I have always loved playing with words.
