Whats your view on the Asian bait and switch joints, for which there seems to be at least one in every town?
Should the be reported and shut down on AW, or is this just a fact of life for this type of establishment and should we enjoy the lottery it presents us with when we turn up?
Personally having visited many of these establishments over the past 5 years, I have had some right old boilers, but I've also found (albeit few and far between) some genuine diamonds. I don't go visiting these places with any expectation that the girl I'll see is the one in the picture - especially if she's pretty. Don't get me wrong, it has happened but it's very rare.
As I understand it having spoken to a LOT of these women now, these joints employ (mostly) Chinese women who are predominately in the UK (illegally I am guessing although not under duress, at least that's what they've told me). The women seem to work in a particular place for a week and then move on. They are mostly here to earn money for their families back home, so many have kids and many are not particularly young.
I guess given the transient nature of their employment and the fact they are not keen to be identified, to expect an up to date AW profile with a genuine photo is unrealistic, is it not?
When I first started going to these places I was really concerned about trafficking and girls being forced to work, especially with the newspaper stories you hear of 20 girls discovered prisoner in some flat somewhere. But while there have been some miserable "madams" (and the male equivalent whatever that is) running these places, I've also met some nice ones and if I've been back even got to talk to some of them, normally while I'm waiting for another punter to finish up. Seems many are ex WGs who did this before and now employ other girls on a weekly turn around. Quite how they manage to rent a flat / house with no ID I don't know but there must be some private landlords with lower standards I guess.
I think I've made it particularly clear which side of the fence I'm on with this. Don't get me wrong I would like to have the genuine girl in the photo, but it's just not realistic for this type of place, so I accept it for what it is and enjoy the diamonds when I find them.
