    What sort of fish are they, sole ?

    Very over worked ones, at a guess.

  • Group on has this on offer in various cities for about £6 for a 20 minute session and it includes a free foot massage.

    Also the fish don't have teeth so they don't bite but nibble according to Appy Feet

    I've just been given a voucher for a fish pedicure for xmas - I'm both really looking forward to it and absolutely terrified :eek:

    I hate feet - even my own - and hate people touching my feet. But I'm quite looking forward to trying it - even if it's just to say after that I've had it done.

    My treatment includes a glass of bubby and a foot massage (*shudder*) and i'm going in January. :D

    Wow quite a mixed reaction!
    I found THIS place that I'm going to go for. The bloke I'm thinking for has had the usual massage and treatments, so this would be something that he would never think of to buy himself.

    The one in Kensington is not too far from me so I think I will fund a session for the GF as a treat.

    honestly people will pay for anything these days. divorce would be on the cards if either of us inflicted this on the other.:D i'd much rather have a french pedicure or even a trip to a chiropodist.

  • We passed one the other day, popped in to check the prices. £10 for 15 mins. It was called Happy Feet or something to the effect.

    You wash your feet before you start in a special place at the back, then join the rest of the people at the tank.


    Not really my thing..

    If I was gagging to have my toes sucked a gang of fish wouldn't come high on my list.

    The thought of a fish ever being near my foot makes me _pale_
    I would probably kick it :rotfl:

    Edit: Also, where are all these companys suddenly getting all of these fish from?

    The RSPCA should get involved as well as the HPA.
