Mind you, just a thought, upper class children in this country 
generally DO have the pudding basin special! Or at least probably a 
very expensive haircut that just LOOKS like it was done around the 
pudding basin.  It's that kind of bland interchangeable pageboyish 
type thing.

Where I come from, and where kids are badder, rougher and harder, 
the favoured haircut is the No. 1.  (usually done together with 
first body piercing in our pikier families along with first tatoo 
of "Mum" <g>)

For those of you that don't know, it's similar to what newly 
inducted soldiers get.  ie very short indeed.

To be perfectly honest, longish pageboyish, pudding basin hair is as 
much a class signifier in this country as accent is.
