How Macca passed the Old Grey Thatch Test . . .

At LAST! Paul McCartney has stopped dyeing his hair. the former Beatle has put away his jumbo bottle of Midnight Aubergine Rinse to embrace nature instead — and it suits him so much better.

Gone is that bloodless look that his unnatural dark locks gave him. In their place comes a cheeky grey-and-brown ombre look, a moptop to be proud of at last.

For years, McCartney was said to have coloured it himself after falling out with his hairdresser over the price. Macca discovered the frightening hidden costs of girl grooming, and he doesn’t even have to wax his leggies.

Perhaps he will celebrate with a trip to the new travelodge in liverpool, which has been dedicated to the city’s most-loved scousers.

the hotel, situated at the John lennon Airport, boasts a Cilla Black floor, a sir Paul McCartney floor and a steven Gerrard Meeting Room. so far, so dull, when you consider they could have had the Derek Hatton suite (down the corridor on the far left), the Wayne Rooney Romper Room for OAPs, and the Jim Royle television lounge, where no one can find the remote control and Dairylea on toast is served as a snack.
