A Very English Attitude
12 February 2010
Avram Grant, Manager of beleagured Portsmouth FC seeks help with his stress levels my visiting a massage parlour on a regular basis. Nothing wrong with that you think? Sadly, we English have a very old fashioned view when it comes to "Massage Parlours" As the Sun puts it, it is actually a vice den! There doesn't appear to be any evidence to support this theory but if massage is involved it must be dodgy. We regularly get call asking if we have "girls" who do the massage. If we say its a male masseur they put the phone down.
So despite years of trying to prove the efficacy of Massage and trying to present a professional image all of that work can be undermined by the Sun and their assumption that all massage is vice! Good luck to you Avram. Your club may get relegated but at least you may feel invigorated and slightly more relaxed.
