I'm supposed to be going into central London on Friday for incall appointments, and Nottingham for a weekend tour...I'm not sure if I should go ahead! Travelling to destinations might be difficult, plus it might be unsafe...Girls, how are the riots affecting you?

I suppose playing it by ear is the best thing...I hate making 50/50 plans but I guess at times like this, what can ya do?

It's a long shot, but there's rain forecast for London from tomorrow onwards - if it's anything like last Thursday that'll settle down at least some of it. I left on Saturday evening before it all started but a friend who lives near the Angel tells me it's not as bad there at least as some of the news reports suggest. I don't know how central you mean though.

As far as Nottingham goes I haven't got a clue, but provided you're in a city centre hotel I wouldn't worry too much - the stuff in other cities seems to have been pretty aimless and petered out quickly. As Anika says, if you're worried just cancel  .

It's pretty quiet out there - during the daytime today, at least. I think non-rioters are mostly staying home, which might include a lot of potential clients?

I would honestly call someone mad if they went roaming London at night this week looking for a shag, since they're more likely to get a brick chucked at their head at the moment.

Twitter is definitely the best place for news. Check out Twitter.com/Riotcleanup and this moderately terrifying map of incidents.

There is a lot of effort being made to sort things out, but it may take a little time.

But, I just like to avoid crazies to the best of my urban-living ability.

I should have this printed and laminated cos it's my motto! With work, particularly, I think it does well to err on the side of super-caution.

Heard on the news tonight of some rioting in Nottingham already,  I think it'll be ok by the weekend so I'll go there as planned. I'll be giving London a miss this week though.

I only work one day per week doing incalls which is Friday and I'm city centre based and finish between 5 and 6pm so no problem there 

The violent disorder affecting Liverpool the last 2 nights has been 5 - 10 minutes away from where I live so pretty scary stuff
