All the places i used to work at are still open now lol i had my set day but some times i'd go an do a day at a 'here today gone tomorrow flat' i call them that cause thats litrally how they were lol

I enjoyed my parlour days they were a learning curve. My fave was like you said having a cuppa made for you some one else taking your bookings we'd order in bulk from the cafe and the lady would bring hot sarnies round  .

I found the 2 i worked in in Birmingham the most enjoyable and laid back still intouch with a couple girls from there we're all indi now, the major one i worked at in manchester was bitchy and stressful. The money was excellent there and really nice places inside (2 branches they have)

So theres a few parlours still around not sure how busy the birmingham ones are any more some of my old regs have found me as an indi and don't punt in parlours any more they use AW.
