Neck-cracking barbers
-
I understand that in some parts of the world (e.g., India), it is common for barbers to crack the customer's neck after a haircut. Has anyone on the forum had this experience?

No but i would welcome it to the UK.

There are some real amusing anecdotes re neck-cracking barbers - including several from Vietnam where American GIs were startled (to put it mildly 8O ) by their barber suddenly twisting their neck around to crack it. That would have been funny … in hindsight.
I've come across blogs/reports of barbers in the following countries doing the neck-crack procedure:
Malaysia
Singapore
Indonesia
Vietnam
Philippines
India
TurkeyI wonder which country it was that the practice started and how it spread from place to place...

sounds like an indian thing, so probably started there.
