The Open University. (I assume?)
Ben hasn't had his hair cut for over three weeks. Need to get that rectified on Monday. Far too many greys making themselves known.
I only get my hair cut about once a year. Ben must get it done about... 17 times a year?
I have to have mine maybe once a month.

Yep, it's The Open University. All the undergraduate teaching is done via distance learning, but the campus in MK is home to all the research staff, and students doing PhDs.

I bet you're held in wonderment and awe by the locals.
I used to sell door to door in MK, many years ago. "Hello love, we're coming round with the first aid kits again. You had one last time, didn't you? You didn't? You have to have one in the house, it's a new law, you know."

You bastard!

Of course. On a weekly basis we're paraded around the town in an open-top bus.

I take the scissors to the edges about twice a year. Don't trust hairdressers - spawn of Satan.

Finally, an explanation why the local football team are called the MK Dons. 
Back of the net George.

Probably something like that. It's probably been slightly more in the past too. I wish I could leave it for 6 weeks or so, but it would be such a mess due to it's thickness and intense straightness. I remember going 3 months without getting it cut when I was 16 and I must have looked a f**king idiot. Of course, at the time, I thought I looked cool.
