I'm in a similar boat as the OP (ABC instead of BBC though, can't read a lick) and when looking for Canto help, I've used Cantodict quite a bit. They give you the Jyutping (and Pinyin) and you can se ...
Heh, nice to know I'm not the only illiterate Asian guy out there! Yep, I found Cantodict though it's a bit tricky for me as I need to figure out exactly which tone is which by comparison with stuff I 100% know how to say. I spoke Cantonese mostly as a kid to my grandparents, so it's hard to do this kind of thing when you basically have the vocabulary of a somewhat retarded 5 year old 
I'll give the walkup thing a try when I'm there end of June / early July, it should be interesting...! I'm gonna try calling in advance with my fairly crappy Canto, I could make myself understood when I visited Beijing with my even crappier Mandarin, so I'm sure I can work something out. Or I'll just crash and burn, but who knows? At least I'll have something funny to post on here 
*edit* For anyone else who doesn't read Chinese that well, one option I noticed is that if you click the 'Chinese' option when looking at a girl's page, sometimes Special Services are listed in more detail... Just use the 'Translate page' option in Chrome. Google Translate comes up with some funny translations but you can see the terms listed above like 'Toxic Drill' or 'Mouth Explode'
