Whilst checking the stock for tomorrow's trading, a rather irate gentleman [I believe him to be an Imam] approached me and complained that he had just suffered an assault by a man who approached him and tugged at his beard !, it would appear that there have been many reports of incidents of a similar nature taking place in and around the Larnaka region.

Whereas [on the one hand] I am quite pleased to receive confirmation that my beards are so realistic that they can be mistaken for genuine, I am a little worried that the practise of tugging at the beards of strangers could result in some retaliatory actions [by the persons offended] and could escalate into confrontational violence on the streets.

Please be advised that I cannot accept any responsibility should any of you good folks [who may be wearing my product] suffer the same probing investigation, I would much prefer all wearers to wait until the disguise becomes an advantageous asset and would warn that, in this hot weather, it might be wiser to avoid wearing them until it cools down a little.

I hope the elderly chap [and his blonde bird] turn up in the morning, I am sure he would look quite dapper in a wig, beard and baggy trousers, not too sure about his glasses and sandals with white socks, I might be able to sell him a pair of "Carpet Slippers" and black socks, they would look far more fetching I think. 8)

Another good response today, 11 Ladies made various purchases [although I suspect some of them were more interested in fashion than disguise] and I hope their new apparel proves to be of use to them in the days to come.

No need to reveal total sales but I would like to mention one amusing moment when a large Scottish gentleman approached and made an enquiry, he was about 6' 6" tall and had strikingly ginger hair, he asked if I could supply him with both wig and beard in his colour, I told him that such an idea would be impractical but suggested he should consider a "Grey" combination., he agreed with me and left a deposit [fully refundable if I cannot oblige] and I laughed to myself at the thought of the big Scotsman sporting his wig and beard as he strode along in his "Kilt", not much of a disguise, I'll have to convince him to "Tak his Trews". :lol:
