Well, that was one my weirdest punting experiences in 5 years on the scene but also massively positive so bare with me.
Rolled up for morning massage to find a workman in the doorway fixing the frame or the latch or something. No impact on my review as I don't really care about being seen going in/out of these places.
I was glad to see that Flower (the manageress) was back, I've seen her a couple of times and she's great at what she does. Asked for an hour and was shown into the room, then learned I was getting another woman, not to dissappointed, was going to see if Flower would do ow/owo for a few more notes but ce la vi.
The lady who *started* the massage was a little older looking in the face and a little belly bulge but from the go she asked if I wanted HE or B2B, I said B2B for £40 and off we went. Good firm massage for about 10 mins before Flower called her out of the room, there was some loud discussion which the massuese was clearly not happy with before she came back in and said Flower didn't want her dealing with me and was the massage okay?
I told her it was fine and she carried on. Anothe 10mins of good, firm massage and Flower calls her out again and comes in herself to continue my massage. I'm asked again if the massage was okay and I said yes, it was good (and it was).
Flower calls in another girl, Gin who starts rubbing my legs while Flower rubs my back and then in comes the first woman so, there I am, butt naked on the table with two women rubbing me down and Flower and this woman have some kind of argument there and then.
Given my previous experiences at Shanghai and my general easygoing nature I wasn't to perturbed by this bizarre turn of events.
Eventually lady #1 gathers her things and leaves, Flower says something to Gin and then leans down to me and says "Start now, okay?" So the clock resets and my hour with Gin starts.
Flower and the other woman continue their (now more subdued) argument outside while I throw Gin a quick smile to let her know everythings okay.
More very good massage with more than a few chuckles from both of us at the absurdity of the situation and then the question "You want b2b?".
Again, £40 agreed and she leans in for a kiss, long, deep dfk like I have never had at one of these places. Soon enough off comes her kit. Now Gin is a very attractive mature lady with a very fit body and an infectious smile, she also does not mess about with b2b, she lays full length on me and comes in for more dfk.
It was very hot and heavy and very hard to keep from pushing the line, suffice to say it was an excellent experience with much mutual pleasing for both of us.
Once the session was done (and I'd had a clear hour and a half, no question) I handed over £50 and got a smile and a kiss and then Flower meets me at the desk to say my next massage is free! (The time I'm assuming, not the extras) so yeah, bit odd but a clear 'result'.
