While the remaining posed for snaps and paid, Carey refused to have his picture taken and left.
“They all came in just before we shut, Adam told The Sun.
“We cut their hair and had a great laugh.
“But we don’t accept cards and Alex said he had no cash on him.
“Well, there’s a Tesco cash machine literally round the corner he could have run to.
“He could have nipped back to their hotel and been no more than five minutes but instead he said he would transfer it.
“Maybe he forgot. I’m giving him the benefit of the doubt but if it’s not paid by Monday, I won’t be happy.”
Adam, in the meantime, stated he was unaware of the stumping saga till former England skipper Sir Alastair Cook referred to as in for a trim.
He stated: “Cooky told me all about what happened and laughed when I told him Carey had done a runner.
“He’s starting to get quite the reputation.”
