    Cuddle workshop...

    I've just watched the BBC London news and they had a item on a new fad coming here from the USA... 'Cuddle workshops'

    £24 to cuddle strangers for an hour

    Don't they know, AT and Blues is much cheaper?

    If you fancy giving it a try..

    http://www.meetup.com/Cuddle-Workshop/

    But be warned, they look even weirder than the average dancer!

    A few years back I encountered a bunch of people in a shopping centre with placards proclaiming 'Free Hugs!'. I would have stocked up back then if I'd have known it would be £24/hour a few years later.

    Victoria Station in Manchester had free hugs going from what looked like students on Friday evening. I was on my way to the dancing and I was still tempted

    If cuddles are that important, just stick yourself a placard on a stick and stand at your local major railway station. Unless commuters aren't your thing..

    Do you mean this thread?

    (I didn't do anything mod-related - I think it was just a case of finding it...)

    Thanks, David. I'm kinda embarrassed I couldn't find it as I started the bloody thing!! The link kjust kept referring em to the main forum home page.

    Anyway, my thanks again... Pages 1-6 are just organiational stuff... but Cruella posts on page 6 how the actual event was for her and it goes on from there...

    Just been watching some of the Free Hug videos on Youtube. I want to do this again (when my back is better). It is such a rewarding experience. Does anyone still have any of the Tshirts we made for it?

    Alas our vids on YouTube got taken down by the owners.
