Coming very much to the same conclusion. I punted in Edinburgh pretty extensively from around 2010-2014, and picked it up again the last year. The difference for me very noticeable. Whereas previously I felt spoilt for choice - I could decide on the spur of the moment one morning to have a bit of fun, and there would be at least 3-4 good options for a hot 20-30something with good service levels and enthusiasm, and likely also someone outstanding in there. Now I’m lucky if there’s one half decent option who wouldn’t have made plan C before. I have to plan way in advance how, and even then it’s patchy. Where are the girls like Kasia/Katie, Tanya, Tiffany, April, the wee Swedish redhead who worked in Tollcross or any of the lot that used to work with Lanya? Last decent punt I had was Charlie (of disgusting bathroom fame), but she’s hardly ever about.
Have started looking further afield including Newcastle, and will just have to do this less often and factor in travel. Not really something I can do easily anymore.
