I won't accept bookings from anyone I can't speak to, bar a few disabled clients who's carers have made arrangements with me - and they've communicated with a digital device.

Someone used translation software to send me to an email, I could tell it wasn't written as English he answered honestly when I asked. I declined the booking.

I had an Italian client recently who took literally 20 minutes to find me (it's a 2 minute walk from the car park). When he eventually arrived, he was Italian. So annoyed because I speak Italian and couldn't have translated the directions ffs

I don’t think it has anything to do with intellect. If I went to Germany off of the back of school lesson languages and tried to take directions in German I’d struggle. But it’s why I don’t see anyone without decent English; I don’t discriminate on any other basis, age, ethnic background, whatever, but when their English is poor I’m often dealing with this stuff. I think if I were a bloke with the horn in a foreign country I’d preference going to shop front brothels if they were available. Much easier than booking an indie.

You get a lot of these on visa (I can't speak English but I find you on this sex site) street.  Are you doing sex? And blue job?

If they get there. They always get the door number wrong. There will be problems with price they will quote the lowest price they saw on the site. Their voice will get louder and louder so by the time they leave the whole street will know you are a prostitute.

Just not worth the trouble.

I’ve only seen one client who didn’t have a good grasp on English and vowed it would be my last

If they can’t read and understand my profile then I will not meet them

I've just put something about not seeing clients from other countries on my profile too many issues. I dint mind black English or Asian people. But I've found the foreign ones including white not great

Surely if English fluency is the reason it would be better to say this, though. Or are you including punters from Canada, Australia/NZ and the US as well as the many from other countries who speak better English than some of the native Brits I've met?

It's so frustrating when an enquirer only has a few words, this is one reason I insist on a phone call by the time the appointment is to be confirmed.

Even the callers who can say shag and postcode or address, but without enough to understand anything else. Some call back repeatedly.

A very long time ago I did accept a booking made by the friend of someone without much English, the friend was polite, plausible, and the actual guy absolutely fine. Something not experienced since.

I put the phone down when they don't understand 'hello'. As I don't give out the street address I don't think they'd survive the direction process of 2nd right at Superdrug, 3rd left at Pret etc.

One word many English mother-tongue speakers don't seem to understand is Macdonalds. They understand all the fancy Japanese food joints but keep asking wot? wot?  I pronounce it normally then slow it down, then break it down into syllables. If all else fails I say 'Macdonalds, the burger restaurant, have you heard of it?'

It's  like they reached their tolerance for directions and ears have closed up shop.

I get these french, Swedish and other west europeans who speak perfect English but have never made it to an appointment. I don't really bother with them now.

Roman soldiers used to use small tiles depicting sex acts to tell foreign prostitutes what they wanted. Maybe they should make a return  :angel:

So I have nothing against foreign clients but I’m meant to be having a booking now and the client doesn’t understand English very well, he’s been in the apartment block for 15-20 mins and he cannot find the door number, neither can he even understand what i’m saying. I’m on the verge of just cancelling the whole booking. I’ve had other clients find where I am perfectly fine. And I’m definitely not going walk about the apartment block to go and find him.

This isn’t the first time this has happened, when it’s been very difficult trying to explain directions to someone that doesn’t speak perfect English. It gets sooooo frustrating.  :FF :FF :FF
Postcodes are a help in this regard, a code that they can just stick into sat nav instead of needing to be able to read a map and street sign. I think this is why I have few problems with those who speak little English. If they don't speak a word of English however I don't bother because in the past I've gone to the effort of copy pasting google translate and they didn't show up anyway so I wasted all that time and effort

I accept them but if they don’t find my door I take the next one in and put my buzzer on silent. To me honest sometimes the ones who speak little English find my door quicker than those who speak perfect English. Just because somebody can’t speak English does not necessarily equal thick.
I'm glad I got all the Cynthia Payne books before the prices rocked to sky high.

If the postcode does lead to the address, most couriers struggle at all my addresses.

At a block of flats there were several doors and different key pads, other types of property needed description.

I won't give out the postcode to English or non English speakers because finding me is part of the screening...Most are pedestrians one minute away from me so don't need sat nav.

I'm listening to how they respond to instructions, do they get OTT nervous angry, childish, patronising?

eg If they start moaning 'this is a long walk' (yeah right, one minute is an Olympic challenge) or 'why don't you just give me the bloody postcode' or 'Don't tell me anything, I'll find it with Google', it show's me they want to impose on my procedures, won't be a nice client, I bump him. Letting a moaner in doesn't mean they stop moaning...it never works well if I let them in.
