| Hi all. I have been thinking about posting this for a while, I dont live in Chiswick anymore, but I did about a year ago.I thought I would be a good girlfriend and book myself and my boyfriend a massage. There was a good deal on in the Chinese herbal shop on Turnham Green Terrace. So I booked us in and we turned up. I got seen straight away and had a lovely massage, although it wasn't the most luxurious place, but it was cheap and took me back to holidays in bali. Nevertheless, I thought it was a nice treat. My boyfriend, on the other hand, had a totally different experience. First of all he had to wait for about 20 minutes, I feel bad enough about that. He was just about to walk out and get an ice cream, then the lady finally invited him in. Her response for the delay was that her last client had to have a shower. Mmmmm. Ok. So, anyway, the massage commenced. Half way through, the lady asked my boyfriend if he needed aything extra. YES. EXTRA? He assumed, uncomfortably that maybe she meant a head massage? No. She did not mean a head massage, and she made this quite clear. She informed him she meant EXTRAS! He of course felt very uncomfortable and declined telling her that his girlfriend was downstairs and that this was inappropriate and he did not want anything of the sort. She promply told him that she merely meant a 'head massage' and asked him to 'please not tell her boss, 'please,please, please'. For the next 30 mintues he had the massage feeling total awkwardness. So anyway, I was waiting downstairs for him, and he came down, and I beamed at him thinking to myself 'I am such a lovely girlfriend, I hope he had the most relaxing time'. So when we got out, I asked him, 'how was that my darling?'. He looked quite shell shocked and repeated the story to me, which of course I thought was a joke. No, it was not. I mean, TURNHAM GREEN TERRACE? A KNOCKING SHOP?? Yes. I have moved away now, but it has always been a source of entertainment for us. However, I do feel sorry for the owner, in posting this, but I thought the other women of Chiswick who want to treat their men might like to know this, and even worse,the women whose men say they are going for a massage...mmm. Now it is highly entertaining for us. But it is actually a serious matter, that at the time I wanted to report to some sort of authority, and most of all, I do believe this is not a matter that the management know about and are responsible for. So thoughts and fellow experiences??? |
