... Boots actually sells three of these 'gradualist' products, namely 'Grecian 2000', 'Formula 16' and 'Restoria'. These products differ from 'Just for Men' in that they promise a gradual, controllable way to remove the grey. They also promise to restore your hair to its natural colour. They all ... Read review

'I grow old, I grow old, I shall wear the bottoms of my trousers rolled'
You may be familiar with these lines, taken from T.S.Eliot's famous poem entitled 'The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock'. To be honest, I have never quite understood the second line about rolled trousers. But as every line of Eliot is supposed to have some deep symbolic significance, presumably it has something to do with conveying the idea of adapting to change as one grows ... ...apt word to rhyme with 'old' - 'cold'?; 'fold'? - even literary geniuses presumably have their off days.
