so why are they hairdressers cars... are you stereotyping?

Yep I am stereotyping (does that mean typing with both hands?) honestly though most hairdressers drive hairdressers cars hence the good grounds for a stereotypical response

I nearly brought a hairdressers car last January.

Paradise Purple Griff owned by you've guessed it a Female Hairdresser.

A couple of people i showed the pictures to said it looked like i'd be driving my wife's car.

I should have brought it, It looked suberb and sold at a dealer a month later for £5k more than i could have brought it for

I drive a hairdressers car and I'm not a hairdresser.

That's knackered your stereotyping.

But if you 'cut your own barnet' - doesnt that make you a hairdresser ?

Good point millie But I don't follow the stereotype so I guess the answer is no. I agree though stereotyping is fun....

Aha young Mats there is an assumption that those being stereotyped actually have a chice to opt in or out.

I suspect there are few who think "I feel like being stereotyped today, but not tomorrow" ergo you're a hairdresser whether you like it or not.

As WC Fields said (may be wrong source but who gives)

WCF - "Madam - would you go to bed with me for a million pounds"
Madam - "Maybe"
WCF - "Would you go to bed with me for a pound ?"
Madam - "Certainly not, what do you think I am ?"
WCF - "Madam, we have already established that, we are now merely negotiating the price"

But making an assumption makes an ass out of you and me

Going along with the assumption surely I have the right to opt out. In this case I exercise the right and opt out.

I'll get me coat.

Your profile shows a T350 - is this a hairdressers car then?
