I meant to say the East Street barber.

Right Answer - but clearer explanation for full points

The messy barber cuts his own hair and doesn't get chance to clean up his shop because he is so busy. The West Street barber is tidier but has no clients, he gets his hair cut by the other guy.

I'll give you that - close enough.

one detail though - the West Street barber is tidier bacause he has few clients like you say - reason being he is no good - and because the barbers cut each others hair, the messy East Street barber therefore has a bad cut .
