Yeah, old rip outs of the newspaper, she looks exactly like this one. Oi you, that is miss world, yeah ok a little like it so. You met up and looked nothing like it. Same as today really...

would agree,but you knew the other punters.meet a punter friend from those days had a couple of pints and laughted for the night.hence my reason for this thread.

Tell me more yarns from yesteryear old timers. What was the parking like for the ass and cart? How many shilling were you set back for the hour? Did the british crack down on prostitution in Ireland?

Yeah, some times they laughed at you and sometimes with you. Depending on what kind of mission they had sent you on. Life in the rearview mirror always looks better as meatloaf sings about, but I do think not having everything served on a plate made us wanting things more, or perhaps it is just me looking back at old times in a different light, not sure. Ah well, this thread brought me back, thanks for that, was a great time, I hope we both can agree.

I would say at that time street prostitution and brothels were more popular, isn't it?
I mean, I cannot see many escorts coming down in the street and opening the door and just looking around to see who the punter might be ...

There was many more escorts living in the same city, simply because public transport was really really bad. Lets not forget this was the time when there was no ryanair or similar, flights was very expensive etc. So you were very much limited to who was there at the time. Don't think there was much more brothels at that time in Denmark, can't speak of over here.

Oh, totally forgot. Lets not forget that almost every street corner had a phonebox in those days, so you would be directed to a phonebox to call from, which would be in view from the escorts apartment/house.
