I grew a moustache in the sixth form as a bet... won fifty pounds, altogether... then I grew a beard because I was fed up of shaving... that was when I was twenty five... at 32 I had a beard that I could fork and plait and tuck in my belt, and a ponytail down to my bum... then I had it all shaved off for charity... I still have a beard, but now i keep it short... i much prefer it to being clean shaven...
