Bannatyne is going off on one this morning

Daily Star story about his spas offering leg and underarm waxing for girls of 13 to 16yo.

Funny that he only RTs those who agree with him.

"Mumsnet co-founder Justine Roberts said: ?You?d hope there?d be a longer period of grace for girls to be girls and not obsess about being hairless.?

What do you think?

LOL SpringHeeledJack, although I do like to be spa'd and shouty

JustineMumsnet is just getting on a train, but thought you'd be interested to see the full quote she gave the Star - obviously they 'forgot' to include the bit about pre-teens, not teens:

"It's a great shame - and a growing problem - that pre-teens are wasting time and money or more likely their parents' hard-earned cash removing their perfectly normal body hair. You'd hope that there would be a longer period of grace for girls to just be girls and not obsess about being hairless."

We're just asking them to include it now...
