Lisa Connor, a busy mum from Sandbach, Cheshire, was travelling to Alicante with her four mum friends for a much needed holiday. To be ready to party as soon as they landed, Lisa had decided to wear hair rollers on the journey. So when they arrived at Manchester Airport and booked their lounge, Lisa was surprised when the receptionist told her she couldn’t enter with her rollers.
‘The lady in the lounge instantly asked what was under the scarf, and then she asked if it was rollers,’ Lisa said. ‘I said “I’ve got a scalp condition, thank you”. She looked at me as if to say “you’re lying” but I knew she wouldn’t be able to question a medical issue.’
Lisa and her friends had come up with a plan to hide the rollers under a silk scarf, and their plan worked. ‘Everybody in the airport knew I had rollers in,’ Lisa added. ‘Girls with rollers in are a common sight, especially if they’re coming from Liverpool. I always travel in rollers. I’ve travelled all over the world with the [Elvis] show, nearly always with rollers in. It’s never been a problem before, and I always go into lounges. But for some reason they’ve got a new rule where you’re not allowed rollers in.’
Thankfully, Lisa was able to wear her freshly curled hair straight to the bar after unpacking her suitcase in Benidorm. ‘It was all worth it. My hair was massive when I got there. It had all the volume I wanted and lasted the whole night. It was hot, but nothing that hairspray couldn’t help.’
From this story, it’s clear that Lisa and her four mum friends had a great time on their holiday. And despite the ‘jobsworth’ receptionist at Manchester Airport, Lisa was able to successfully sneak in with her hair rollers. Just goes to show, you can’t keep a good woman down - especially if she’s from the North West!
