The career of popular Nightcliff Greek barber, mainly only known as Tony, could be over due to a drunken driver who ploughed into the back of a taxi in which he was the passenger, on his way to work, at the Nightcliff traffic lights. The affable barber had to eventually undergo a nine hour operation on his neck and has a problem with his right arm which may make it impossible for him to return to the tonsorial trade.
The man responsible for his injuries is a 64 year old unlicenced driver . Carrying on the business is his brother-in-law, Michael, who ran the barber shop for 23 years before Toni took over. Michael , in his 70s, came back to Darwin from Greece at Christmas to see family members and unexpectedly found himself running the shop during which time his wife slipped over and hurt her shoulder
Michael was booked to go back to Greece in early February . How are things in Greece? we asked him. Terrible . What about Prime Minister George Papandreou , can he handle Greece’s financial problems ? With a dismissive wave of his arms, Michael replied no , adding that he is “ an American boy”. Papandreou was born in Minnesota, and spent his early childhood in the US and Canada ,studied sociology in Massachusetts . He also continued his study of sociology in Great Britain and attended the London School of Economics . Another barber has been lined up for a year.
Michael’s injured brother- in -law experienced a series of break ins at the barber shop in recent years and was forced to cover the window with a safety grill and guard the premises at night with his blue heeler dog. A nearby cafe has been broken into nearly 40 times . Now that the Nightcliff Police Station has reverted back to the previous unsatisfactory running , without any explanation from the government, police and local member , Tony may have to resume patrolling the premises, this time with a hydra -headed beast from Greek mythology when he is back on his feet and his brother- in- law has returned to unhappy Greece.
