Transport: No bald or hairy cabbies allowed - and watch the lippy too!

A little bit of light heartedness for my last post of this session.

Nanjing Morning Post reports that taxi drivers with shaved heads, or long hair and moustaches, will be banned in China's eastern city of Nanjing.

The new rules are aimed at presenting a positive image of the city for China's largest sporting event, the National Games next month.

"Strange" haircuts are also banned and female cabbies who wear too much makeup are also targeted.
