Self-explanatory to Britishers in the 1990's, this description of unruly hair will puzzle the rest of us, so:
1. Terry Waite served as the Anglican Church's international diplomacy negotiator. In 1987, he was himself taken hostage in Lebanon and held mostly in solitary confinement until his release in 1991. He's a well-known public speaker now.
2. "Allotment" in Britain is an urban rented garden patch.
Hence, Terry Waite's allotment would be untended and weed-choked.
I haven't determined if Waite actually was an allotment holder at the time of his confinement.

Get the Terry Waite's allotment mug.The William Allitt School is the definition of hell. You will find that grass is growing on the rooftops and that the roofs are leaking due to excess water being on the roof but no drainage systems. On most days you will find that they lock the girls’ and boys’ bathrooms so you have to piss yourself. They exclude only one person if been in a fight when it takes two to tango. The headteacher does nothing at all apart from sit in her office all day. All in all Never come to allitt, its a shithole!!
