please don't click on it if it would offend you
www.gumtree.com/p/business-services/massage-and-shave-in-sutton-surrey/1019529156
in short:
The title is - Massage and Shave
then it goes on describing her procedure ....
Shaving, on the other hand, achieves a completely smooth result and is a pleasant and soothing procedure.

I've reported it to the Gumtree.

No one is saying you are 'disturbed'

I am genuinely asking what your motivation for reporting?, because I want to know

I don't think anyone can sat you are reasonable or unreasonable, unless we know why you reporting the ad/lady...

Jengnr · 02/06/2013 15:54

I'd like to know why you would report it too.

Some poor woman is trying to get by in what must be a fucking horrible manner, the last thing she needs is other women making it more difficult for her.

You do know it's not illegal to be a prostitute right?

pinkballetflats · 02/06/2013 16:05

About time they legalised prostitution anyway, instead of heads being buried in the sand about it.

happyAvocado · 02/06/2013 16:22

it is not illegal however CPS advice is for newspapers (I guess that would include online ad companies too):

"It advises that a newspaper company can adopt a policy of refusing all advertisements for personal services"

btw thanks to ThreeDudesOnABus I know what my true self is Grin

beginning to wonder if OP is one of my neighbours... she hasnt been seen trimming her hedge with the nail clippers today, or hitting any car that dares to park (legally) outside her house with her sweeping brush..

hmmmmm

happyAvocado · 02/06/2013 16:28

squeakytoy - how observant of you, do you spy on your neighbours like that every day?

Afternoon all.

glad you reported it it really isn't a beauty salon is it and for whoever said something about women being waxed yes well woman usually are able to shave their own bits

Jengnr · 02/06/2013 16:50

Why mrsjay?

i dont see the word 'must' there.

mrsjay have you ever seen a turkish barbers? men getting their faces shaved- by other people- and paying for it. imagine that.

suckmabigtoe · 02/06/2013 17:07

*there are other barbers that do this too

IneedAsockamnesty · 02/06/2013 18:02

I'm a woman I pay someone to shave my legs and my bikini line I also pay the same person to wax my undercarriage and do some weird shit with cotton to my eyebrows. She's very professional has never surgested anything rude she also waxes and shaves men.

snooter · 02/06/2013 18:03

It reads like soliciting to me, however I'm sure English isn't her first language so might not be what was meant. Perhaps.

nkf · 02/06/2013 18:06

"Delightful hand" is a bit of a giveaway I'd say.

MrsRickyMartin · 02/06/2013 18:46

And I was thinking all prostitutes had gone out of business since most women have sex before marriage. just kidding Grin

Boomba · 02/06/2013 20:20

Gah! has OP still not explained why she reported to prostitute??

EuroShaggleton · 02/06/2013 20:29

Gosh, some people really need to be more imaginative about things to do on a sunny Sunday.

HollyBerryBush · 02/06/2013 20:33

I'm confused (yet again)

My friend is a homeworking beauty therapist. She does full ladies waxing - and she also offers BSC for the gents.

OP, Are you implying she's a hooker?

happyAvocado · 02/06/2013 20:34

Boomba I reported an ad, not a prostitute - I think that is quite a difference.
I am not sure where in my actions you are seeing me reporting her.
