A couple of years ago, the 'Going rate' - in the Northwest, at any rate, - for a satisfactory hour's Full Service with an independent SP seemed to be £100. In those days, I was prepared to go up to £120 for a service which seemed to offer a bit extra. And in the case of girls who I REALLY fancied an hour with, my punting budget could occasionally be stretched to £130. But
they were very much the exception, rather than the rule.
However, £100 now seems to have become, more or less universally in the NW, £120, although there are still some SPs offering FS for £100. When I was looking at my options on AW for a punt in this region next week, I saw an AW Profile which I liked the look of but the SP wanted £140 ph.
My initial reaction was "£140?! Kinnell!"
Then, although it's above what I used, until recently, to consider a reasonable price, I realised that, from her point of view, she was still asking "only" £20 above what now seems to be the going rate. Looked at that way, she was only - only!
- asking the equivalent of what I'd have been prepared to pay a year or two ago for a service which seemed to offer a bit above and beyond what many of us punters would see as a 'standard' FS.
As it happened,, there was another SP whose service in the region whose service seems to meet all my needs for the 'new standard' price of £120 so I've booked her - Review to follow in due course.
Charges in other parts of the country may previously have been higher than our £100, so I guess what I'm asking is whether the recent increases in price for a basic FS have put girls who charge your regional going rate+ £20 out of your price range, as in my example above?
