Mr Bodnar is… The Long-haired Lurker from Levenshulme

After his first trip to the barber’s ended in him inadvertently getting a ‘Van Gogh’ thanks to some over-zealous scissor-work, this lad decided he’d ditch the crew cut in favour of some flowing locks. But Levenshulme is hardly San Francisco and it’s safe to say his abstinence from the scissors has created a bit of a stir on Stockport Road. Children’s eyes are averted by worried parents, tea is spat out in disbelief and war veterans are left wondering what they bothered fighting for. With the neighbourhood at their wits end, the council have had no other choice but to place a bounty on his head, or to be more specific, his hair.
