HAVER SHAVER
Posted at 4:34 pm on 9/1/98
Earlier this year - April to be precise - Mike Haver, lighting guru and Lego engineer was in the throws of turmoil. As a young man who's golden locks had carved a niche in the Madhatters psyche, Haver was about to realise his worst nightmare. This is a harrowing account of one man's battle to keep his hair on... and failing miserably.

The Haver haircut! After 14 years of long hair, enough was enough for our Mike - asked why it had to go he replied, "It got tangled when I was on the motorbike*. It was never out of the ponytail and with career moves etc.. imminent I thought it was about time for the snip".

Mike, never being one to miss an opportunity to, "Do something for charity mate", had the perfect excuse with Comic Relief. Along with two other victims for work he had the haircut. Dr Meg was by his side for the whole time in case of any sudden turns, but surviving the new folically challenged Haver had made a hair razing £432.

*Mike has now sold his motorbike to pay for some double glazing.
