In some workplaces, the mullet never went away - the boss in basic instructions

I hope so. Business at the front. Party at the back.

Mmmmmmmm

Quoting Hannah Montana?

Who may well have been quoting who ever made that up in the 80s?

The answer is it has already has but in what, to me, seemed to be a limited region of the country.

Once or twice a year we visit Bluewater in north Kent. Well, during the visit around Xmas 2009, I was wondering what looked odd but horribly familiar about many of the youngster. Then it finally clicked, they were sporting mullets. I pointed this out to the wife and then we sat down and spent a good half an hour counting mullets while trying to keep a straight face.

I had a mullet once and I came from Kent.

You wore that in the 80's? But wouldn't that mean you were like 5 year old or something??

Nah, I'm nearly 40. Though I do look a lot younger (you can see I'm in denial at the big four oh approaching). A few weeks ago I made the mistake of going on a date with a 26 year old guy. Every time I realised there was too much of gap between us and made a comment he'd look at me and say "you don't look that old". I think it was meant to be a compliment. There was no second date.

I'm still nervous at interviews despite my age... getting hypnotised next week to try and relax to see if that helps.

They came back (in a less extreme version) a few years back. Still looked tulip.

You should go for a walk down the reeperbahn on a Sat night if it's freaks you're after.

They make you look like a super freak.

At that time I used to have a bubble perm and wear sheepskin mitts and Ellesse tops and Farah golf trousers with a pink ski jacket. Along with glossy pink lipstick. I looked awful.

I had that look too in the 80's.

Some women seem to have been sporting that look for a while (La Roux with her quiffs, does that count as a mullet?). The women around shoreditch seem to have been doing it for years. I can't think of any men.

I bet it comes back. Remember the eighties casual look? Men with mullets that were long at the back with the long bit permed? Lovely. At that time I used to have a bubble perm and wear sheepskin mitts and Ellesse tops and Farah golf trousers with a pink ski jacket. Along with glossy pink lipstick. I looked awful.

It feels like the eighties.

Inflation on it's way, strikes, booming stock market, bankers making a killing.
