Yul Brynners of Kent 1957

For over 25 men in the village of Adisham , Kent , a walk down the village street means running a gauntlet of guffaws and ribald laughter - for the men are completely bald - from choice . Each had a '' Yul Brynner '' and had his hair shaved off . It all started one night in the Moor's Head , the local pub where the men foregather . Bob Bailey , a husky 34-year-old miner , said idly to his friend , Cyril Theobald , I wouldn't mind having a Yul Brynner haircut , you know ...'' '' Bet you ten fags you daren't , '' said Cyril . '' You ' re on , '' said Bob . There and then , the local amateur barber , 59-year old Llewellyn Jones , was called into action , and in less time than it used to take bob to comb his locks , he hadn't any . Trade in the Moor's Head has increased since the baldies of Kent because baldies . Coach- loads of visitors have started arriving from nearby seaside resorts to inspect the phenomenon . 1957
