Have you got a beard? A simple yes or no will suffice - pictures not needed.

... and to start the ball rolling, yes

So, atm, it appears that 75% of respondents have a beard. Maybe the
beardless are too busy shaving to post a reply ;-)

No.

The most recent guy we hired at work was clean-shaven. But now he has a 
rather impressive dad-beard. He's only young, bless him...

Kind of.  Shaved the 'beard' portion the other [uncertain time unit] but

About to go to bed - one of those ridiculous breakfast meetings tomorrow.

We are at 75% beards, which is way over the rest of the population. At a
guess, two of our respondents would grow one if they could be certain of
having a little bit more than bum-fluff.

Which all goes to prove absolutely bugger all.

The beard (as well as the hair) has not changed much since...

See you in Khyberspace!

'Cause they couldn't grow a beard and therefore felt out of place? ;-)

I would like to answer no, but the inherent laziness that comes from 
working from home means that 6 days out of 7 I usually do sport some 
sort of facial hair.

Currently, no.

When I do, it's close cropped.

My hair simply will not grow that long.

It probably used to when I was younger, but I will never know, because I was too
scared to buck the social norms.
