i thought prostitution was already illegal?  :shock:

No, Soliciting and Kerb Crawling are offences I think, but the actual act we call prostitution isn't.  In fact, weren't Brothels of 2 people and a receptionist legalised recently.  To be fair, if people want to pay to have sex with some of the hags who hang around County Road then I don't think we should worry about the legal implications, they have far more to worry about in their life.

 You're au fait with the "hags"of Manchester Road then Rob?  Personally I wouldn't know  :--

I lived on Manchester Road in the 80's.

There were a couple of working girls at that time who were very attractive.

I was never tempted though...............................

I've lived in 3 different addressess off Manchester Rd and the quality is at times very suspect I can tell you.  There must be a need for fatties in jeans and a big bomber jacket is all I will say.

When I lived in a flat on Aylesbury St, now demolished, they used to user our doorway to shelter in the rain so we struck up some conversations with them.  Seemed their rates would reduce the later in the night.

Cheers Rob, that's handy to know
