I already have - I bought supermarket grapeseed oil to use for massage - 500ml for £1.19 instead of 500ml for £6.50 for the massage version - works fine as far as I can tell.... AND the supermarket oil is in a glass bottle rather than plastic - but I do decant it into a more suitable container before I use it.....

I would have thought that culinary oil would have been subject to stricter controls - but I might be wrong....

I gather from a friend of mine who is a masseur (or, strictly speaking, a programmer who is also qualified as a masseur... Odd one that lass) that the thing you're looking for in grapeseed oil is that it is cold pressed, which not all of the cooking grade grapeseed oils are. Personally, I don't for a minute believe that it makes any difference, nor would I let her anywhere near me with any oil at all, cold pressed or not. When she was training you couldn't go anywhere near her without her waving a towel at you and smiling. Didn't see me for dust.

There is a good reason why we should all avoid comely women wishing to massage us, for the life of me I can't think of it.

Eww. It's the oil and the handling that I don't like. Something about massage that I find strangely uninteresting.

You probably secretly suspect that they're going to sprinkle you with herbs and pop you in the Aga for a slow roast (badly phrased, that). The idea of a massage from a stranger, especially a paid one, I do find slightly alarming and sinister.

According to what I have read grapeseed oil cannot be cold pressed......

So I guess I'm not going to be adding you guys on to my client list.....
