I suppose I first picked up Tigana after I had been reading the last few books of the wheel of time series by Robert Jordan. The ending books were for me such a bitter disappointment, especially from an author who had such a good start, so I determined to read something new, and lo and behold I found this man, GuyGavrielKay. Now one of the things that first attracted me to this author was the single credit that stood out a mile, he had actually worked with Christopher Tolkien on, the Silmarillion.

Toni & Guy

In 1963 Toni & Guy first salon opened in Clapham London. From there on in, there was no stopping them, nearly every big town has one. If I am correct they also have or are expanding abroad.

They have a uniform of Black and White. Black bottoms with a White top, they do have their own logo t-shirts in which some staff do wear.
The salons I have visited ?
Chichester in West Sussex, owned by a man called Jeff.

I was very pleased when my husband received this as a christmas present and he even let me read it first! I think he later regretted letting me do so as I was laughing so much I was making the bed shake.
We are taught a lot about Peters upbringing in Bolton and are introduced to all his close family. We are treated to some very comical stories from his time at school which was run by nuns. Peter always entertained his family and friends with impressions and took his first comic role as the lion in the Wizard of Oz.
We learn all about his varietly of part time jobs which he had whilst attending college studying drama which he first thought would be easy but later found out otherwise, some of which were packing toilet ...
