Reopening

Massage shops are still not allowed to open

Is that statement in regards to now, or in regards to the 4th July?

I ask, as yesterday my Boxing club posted on Facebook they were expecting to get the green light to open again on the 4th and I was looking forward to that. But if what you've posted there ^ is in relation to after the 4th then it seems we are still in for a long wait?

4th July mate.and even then it's only outdoor gyms that are allowed to open. have a look here they list most of them.  External Link/Members Only

There's a better list of those who have to stay closed here.  External Link/Members Only

Thanks for this, at least one good thing is it confirms Hotels can re-open from the 4th though.

Unless I'm being incredibly slow then any escorts or agencies working even post July 4th are breaking the law. There must be a tipping point at which the police start to act?

Anyone fancy explaining why they've received a fixed penalty notice.

As they are in their own house?

I wonder if reviews will include covid specific details like availability of hand gel. The truth is, if people insist on punting, this information is useful. Better to get them to a Covid safe environment than not.

Lots of agencies open but no adverts on uke. It's still very grey. I feel like we're moving from illegal/blacklist/criticise to a grey area where if people must do it, let's share information to keep it safe for everyone.

Do you blame them?

There should be a place for them to advertise where they don't get set upon by people who don't even live anywhere near the north east (Hint, entrepreneurial person watch Field of Dreams where Ray Liotta says If you Build It, they will come).

^^ that's al I am saying incase DM comes and kills me.

Wonder how track and trace will work. Will a hotel insist on contact details for visitors to guests? It's not inconceivable.

Maybe, and if so, awkward if you take an escort there for an outcall.

If she turns up with white hand gel in her hands might be worth giving a miss.

To be honest I don't think the police will be that interested, they have no right of entry and lockdown rules are easing all the time with pubs and hotels etc open.

I was thinking about the number of visitors that she would have!  Expect reception to be on the ball of wandering visitors.

You're quite right.  Even if you bend the provisions about "different households" meeting, social distancing is still required anyway. 

If the police were going to do anything, I think they would have acted long before now though.  Some idiots have been working throughout, or returned weeks ago.

I think the lack of advertising or discussion tells its own story. 

If they genuinely thought they were doing the right thing, why fear criticism?

Would you be prepared to post that conundrum question to Offtopic so we can discuss it more fully within the rules?

That would just attract outsiders.   

To be honest, I'm sick of tiptoeing around.   The subject matter for this website is currently banned.  If we can't discuss why, or other issues relating to the most pertinent topic that affects us all right now, I'll just not post. 

[AnthG]

The outsiders on this forum are all cool though; Nik, King Nuts, Cactus, Marmalade etc.

However, the place to discuss advertising, or not, on UKE is over there not here.   

[FLYING BLUE]

Well I did admit it, it's a bit unfair shaming me for lurking when I've openly admitted it, and wasn't trying to start anything at all.

Indeed you did and I made a comment about it - it's called a joke & has nought to do with "shaming"
Join in as opposed to lurking & you'll be just fine

Out of curiosity more than anything else, I fired off a few texts to some of my regulars, asking if they had an idea of when they were reopening ( all Indies/ massage spas). Only one replied, saying she started working again on Monday 15th.  I'm not giving names here to avoid problems with regard to breaking lockdown rules, but  at least one is already back.

don't need to be a genius to work out which one is back ,

Things have changed from being legislation to being guidelines.
From a lawyer on twitter...
Possibly the most significant announcement from PM today, that legislation is being replaced with guidance. The compulsory becomes the consensual.

Bet you're wrong.

[datwabbit]

If you do decide to punt, please wear a mask and keep 2m apart when you're around others. Applies to both escorts and punters.

That way at least, my risk is reduced from your insistence to have sex.

If you are keeping your distance and wearing a mask Dw (as am I) then you won't be coming into contact with said punters or escorts

Fair enough. Me too. I was thinking about those not taking risks but also not keeping 2m apart. Protect them from punters
