I phoned up our local school to see if they might be interested in having the Demon Barber road show at their school working with some of the pupils for a week with a show for the school and a show in the evening, If I got a grant.

Their comment was something like this "You will be lucky to get approval for one day"

So that was it. Why should I waste my time, when it was obvious they weren't interested.

Good point from Ruth.
