I phoned them but couldn't work under their pricing. Pity, as I might have considered touring there.

I've had the same thought. However, I wouldn't allow them to photograph me for their profile and I'd work under a different name.

I'm watching this with my mum right now on channel 4 catch up. She suggested we watch it together and now she's telling me that her cousin was a 'working girl'  ;D

Perhaps she knows what I'm doing? I'm not sure but in any case her attitude towards the brothel is surprisingly fabulous!

So, what she done said was that happy hoes ain’t hating and hating hoes ain’t happy.

Did they say how much the women can charge for the actual service when they get in the room? If you could set your own prices it might work out ok. I'd never thought of touring in brothels before, it's something to think about. I like the camaraderie :)

What is the pricing, exactly?

I'm pretty sure the prices are fairly standard parlour rates for that part of the world, or they were when I looked at their website. The idea the owner had had was to try renting a room out touring ladies if they didn't want to use a hotel, and the way I was told it was that you could take the parlour clients at parlour rate if you wanted (or not), and/or advertise as normal to get your own too (presumably at what ever rate you usually charged).

I didn't think it would work, not just because of the two-tier rates but because punters booking an independent lady for an incall won't be happy about being directed to the local sauna (if they wanted to go to a parlour they would have done so) but that was the plan :).

There was a parlour elsewhere that did that - or was it the same one. They advertised on here. I thought it was Grimsby or someplace like that.

I thought the documentary was exceptionally good as it wasn't remotely sensationalised.

The girls looked well grim however.  Only the blonde lady looked good.

As for the punters well I won't even go there!  I am so relieved mine don't look that horrid. :)

Just watched this on channel 4 online, very funny, I really enjoyed it for it's mundane-ness.

As for sharing it with your daughter, as a lone parent, it's rather hard not to isn't it?  When you are together 24/7 and absolutely reliant on each other, I think honesty is the only way.  Although my daughter was 12 when I told her.  I think you have to address the 'if' anything happened to me, she would be an absolute wreck knowing I had kept something from her, because our relationship is so close.

At least it's one documentary that showed sex workers/punters without glamourising the job.  Oh for the glamour of that jacuzzi though!

The programme. Lovely down to earth folk!

They wouldn't discuss pricing at all and told me I would have to visit them to discuss the 'extras.'  ???

One thing they did clarify was that girls had to advertise at THE PARLOUR's rates so even with extras I've done the math and it doesn't add up to our indie hourly rates.

I can understand why they didn't discuss pricing as their 'entertainment license' is for massage only and 'extras' would be technically breaking the law I assume PLUS I could have been a reporter or some other nosey bod riding on the back of the documentary.

I loved the camaraderie but just couldn't afford to work for those prices. Pity  :-[

I actually thought the ladies looked nice and I don't give a feck what my clients look like lol.

I'm glad I got all the Cynthia Payne books before the prices rocked to sky high.

I don't watch these documentaries as when my work day is over I don't want to be reminded of anything to do with work. Also no matter how hard they try they will never capture exactly what it's like to be in this business day in day out.

From what I've heard from other girls they normally complain it's all sensationalised and not 'true-to-life' well it can't ever be because the people they interview will always play up to the cameras in some way.
