Hi All, just thought I'd up date you all on how it went. Very nice experience, but to be honest at £29 per session it's a bit too expensive to have on a regular basis. I asked how often you would have it done and was advised 'as often as you like'. A nice little earner for them I think.

How is disease kept in check? I pity whoever goes after me, my feet ming! Thank God thinks like aids can't be transferred by fish, bet a number of infections can though.

Can there possibly be enough demand to support two such ventures in a town such as Stafford?

Hopefully there isn't...

Are you suggesting such ventures should be scaled back?

Yes, they should be reeled in.

There's lots of ways to make money, but IMO bathing people's feet in fish tanks shouldn't be one of them.

My wife did the fish feet thing in Stafford a few weeks ago. A little shop opposite the police station in the colonnade. It wasn't anything like £29. I think it was £12. Although she could have been fibbing about the cost!

When I read this I couldn't imagine how my fish survived in my bedroom! Particularly when someone Barfed in them, at my particulalry riotous 17th Birthday Bash! :barf: Bog standad goldfish from the fair, must be made of firmer stuff! The goldfish weren't the only thing vomited on! Things were smashed, my mum had here jewelry box filtched, complete with contents, the gatecrashers from The Penny (Big Boy's!) created mayhem, before departing when they had drunk the last of the boose! :pint: A truly memorable occaision, at least it might have been, if I was so paraletic! having spent some of the evening half naked! ............. FROM THE WAIST DOWN!

Mater and Pater said to me the next morning while I was attempting to scrub the carpets, "You won't have a house party again!" and understandibly couldn't speak to me again for days! So that was the last house party I would ever have, very understandably. I must confess, I was a trifle purturbed, when Seedling Major, said he wanted to commemorate his coming of age, 18, with a house party! Telling him, that IMO you should celebrate that milestone when you are 21! We gave him permission to go ahead, and credit to him and his mates; no damage, and they were well behaved, even the lad who did Barf, managed to get to the loo, and remained there, moaning down the 'white telephone', till his parents picked him up, they having been contacted by his responsible and concerned mates!

(Seed's concern for his piscatorial friends, might carry a bit more weight, if he was not a former, menaser of inhabitants of aqua, a fookin' Angler! :( Ed )
