I'm enjoying the terribly coy use of language here: escorts and working girls.


Is it wrong that I really want this to get lounged and see LadyD get on her soapbox? She's great on this issue, and it's one that I'm still undecided on, so I follow the cut and thrust of incisive debate with great interest (and not a small amount of glee).


Is it really more likely to make punters try to hit on children though? That's another thing entirely, no?

From memory someone said their daughter had been approached on their way to or from school.


It's depressing that you only have to scratch the surface and the latent misogyny and sexism is right there waiting to seep. It has come out in a number of threads recently, with the usual names attached.

Robert Poste's Child, you're quite correct about the misogyny that sometimes abounds on here, but I have to say that it's actually a lot better than many other places. The ratio of intelligent to rabid is pretty good.


As for a child being approached on their way to/from school, of course, this is only opinion on my part, but I wouldn't imagine it had anything to do with prostitutes working at 10pm. I recall many such an approach from my own childhood, none of which was spent in a place (or a time) when prostitutes were working. I think it's just a sad fact of life for women, and something that needs to change #everydaysexism


And Loz, as for forced - this is generally recognised to mean by dire financial need and mouths to feed, addiction, the threat of violence. There are doubtless other reasons, that you could educate yourself about if you chose to.

The link between hookers/punters and kids getting hassled on their way to school just seems incredibly far fetched to me.


Ignoring the possibility that the OP was just a hilarious wind-up... tbh I have no strong feelings either way on prostitution as long as nobody's coerced into anything. But surely in the age of the internet this kind of stuff can remain behind closed doors and nobody else need be any the wiser.

    • What does the area with the blue dotted lines and the crossed out water drop mean? No water in this area? So many leaks in the area.
    • You can get a card at the till, though, to get the discount. You don't have to carry it with you (or load it onto your phone), you can just get a different card each time. Not sure what happens if they notice 🤣
    • Yes..that may be the case but membership STARTING at £115 a month is still unafforable for many. Council gyms also have a large range of equipment and I had a  PT at Dulwich leisure centre when I was in Full Time employment who was incredible and even kept in contact during lockdown giving me a program I could do at home and checking in weekly at no charge or personal gain for herself. I dont doubt that Fit For may be a good gym (Its been in situ long enough so must be doing something right) However the cost of membership means it is affordable for the few not the many. If I could afford that kind of fee I would rather get a train to Canary Wharf and go to Virgin active where theres a pool and incredible classes and facilities 
    • This sounds great 👍
