Don't remind me! My daughter had waist length hair, I was enjoying a Sunday roast when I detected a persistent tickle in my throat. I decided to investigate the problem with a probing finger and thumb. Eventually I pinched hold of the offending strand, I slowly started to draw it out, I knew I was in for a long haul, I could feel it dragging deep in my stomach.

Three feet of hair festooned with particles of roast potato, lamb and peas.
