Ive seen them in westfield whereby they said you can have a holiday for £99 but I must attend a meeting. No thanks as that is where they lock you in a room and you can't leave until you b*y a timeshare (thats what I heard)

We were just heading for Pizza Express when my sister spotted a special offer for a short session at a nearby hair salon, and only seconds later, as it seemed, we were both sitting in the shop window, feet immersed in tanks and in full view of many very curious passers-by. Has anyone else tried this? It tickled like mad at first but you get used to it. I'd certainly do it again if I was sure about the welfare of the fish.
They have one at Stansted Airport, after security, in front of Boots. Its 12 pounds for 10 minutes so wasnt interested.

I went to the Taste of Spain festival last year on Regent St, it was quite fun, but I was absolutely hopeless on the pitstop challenge. I am sure Lewis Hamilton wouldn't have been pleased, as I took agesss to change a tyre

Found a newly-opened fish foot spa in my local mall (which I usually avoid): £15 for 30 minutes, which is a very good price so I'll be heading there soon.

You should check out the deals with wahanda and KGB as they seem to do discount deals for the fish thing.

They have fish foot spa in the UK too? I saw it once travelling in Asia and thought how weird, having some fishes nibble at your feet! :blink:

As for the fish feet spa, it was quite possibly the strangest experience ive ever had in my life, I honestly can't describe the feeling, you have to experience it for yourself!
The customer service however was something to be desired, think it was a new girl, she wa virtually non existent, which explained why the appointments for 45 minutes behind schedule, and when it came to having my own appointment, wed pa*d for half an hour, and she told us to leave after 20. I will be complaining about that!.
