Massage solution

From Mr Nicholas Lunt Sir: I am a non-executive director of a high- ly successful chain of 'specialist massage' parlours here in Brussels. One of my main non-executive tasks is scouting out new ser- vices to satisfy our clients' desire for origi- nal and exotic forms of massage relief. As you will know, Brussels is home, and regu- lar host, to an unusually large number of diplomats and politicians — hence our company's success and our constant need to introduce new 'offerings'.

A recent letter from Mr A.A. Gill described your regular, and nearly always enjoyed, columnist Taki as a 'smelly dago lesbian' (Letters, 31 July). I have never met Taki but, if Mr Gill's description is correct, I would very much like to do so in the hope that I could offer him star billing (probably temporary, given his many other worldwide commitments) in one of our establishments. He would be enormously popular with some of our more elderly clients.
