Throw the Jew down the well!

Guests are required to wear robe and footwear in all public areas. Bathing costumes are to be worn at all times in all areas.

Borat Sagdiyev is Kazakhstani television's top media personality and the creator of "Borat's Guide To Britain". He is happy to model - on behalf of the management of York Hall Spa London - the recommended attire for mixed sessions at the Spa. Sadly, in this photograph he has chosen to ignore the rule that footwear MUST be worn in all public areas! This, of course, includes the showers and plunge pool. For this misdemeanor he will be severely punished.

Treatments will only be provided by GLL trained therapists, or qualified third parties who are in possession of an appropriate license and insurance.

Schmeissing was a part of the traditional culture of York Hall baths and took place in open spaces. Schmeissing ("striking") was originally performed in Yiddish communities in eastern Europe with birch twigs or eucalyptus leaves. The abrasive raffia brush used in York Hall (until refurbishment) was a traditional East End Jewish practice. Our model, Borat Sagdiyev, has set a fine example in his treatment of the Jews, releasing such songs as Throw the Jew down the well! and even attending the Holocaust Denial Conference.

We, the management of York Hall Spa London, are happy to be banning (and thus contributing towards the destruction of) the Jewish practice of Schmeissing and are thus proud of our association with Borat Sagdiyev.
