Britain's longest serving barber says he has no plans to hang up his scissors yet - after nearly 65 YEARS of cutting hair.<br /><br />Melvin Eley, 76, is at the barber shop he joined in 1961 and still charges old-fashioned prices more than six decades later.<br /><br />He started working at the shop on Richmond Road in Stetchford, Birmingham, as a Saturday boy aged 13 and has remained there ever since.<br /><br />The great-grandad-of-six works 20 hours a week and says he’ll keep going for as long as he physically can - despite pleas from his children to retire.<br /><br />Melvin started as a teenager under the leadership of the shop's previous owner Tony East before buying out the business in 1982.<br /><br />He has gone on to trim hundreds of thousands of fringes at Melvin's Gentleman's Hairdresser, including those of footballers, politicians and musicians. <br /><br />Melvin prides himself on keeping things traditional - as well as a timewarp interior he’s kept his prices at just £8 per trim and only offers haircuts, no beard work or shaves. <br /><br />And the dad-of-four says he's had no formal training and learnt all he knew from his old boss.
