wtf no we do not look down on punters at all, fed up with us brits being bashed
I find the (highlighted) a little odd.....
Many months ago, during a meeting (with an excellent non-EE, Non-Brit), I was asked whether I looked at punting fora. Being intrigued I spent a day trawling.
1st Stop UKP - came away thinking ' I am not some misogynistic Neanderthal, let me get an alternative view'
2nd Stop SAAFE - In my entire career, I have never seen such a huge chasm in client/customer relations. A site (dominated by Brits) who spend their entire time deriding/sneering at..... the very people they made their living from
Left very depressed and thinking "If I am to be viewed as only a dick-with-dollars, then I will view them purely as only Cum-Buckets'
That would go against the way I have treated anyone and I would not be happy with myself..
The penny then dropped (as per some of Fairfields comments) as to why, what in essence is a simple business transaction, seemed so difficult to conclude, with Brits.
- having to trawl though pages of drivel in AW profiles
- having to study the variety of rules & regulations
- as someone who mostly has very odd working hours and has to rely on email, why does my polite, concise email get read and not responded to?
- once I have eventually arranged a meeting, my ONLY demand is punctuality, is it only ever with a Brit, that I get the "give me 5 min babe" txt (even when I only ever punt 1st-in-theque, to avoid this)
- as (and I am sure I am not alone) have no desire to get my £2+/min in FreneticFucking, some sort of conversation is essential, but if the chat involves anything more than the weather or Jeremy Kyle, I am going to get the label of 'boundary pusher/prier'. I have had fascinating chats with a whole host of non-Brits as I try and learn something outside of the 'little island'
- cost (within reason) is not my deciding criteria, but why is that I should be paying a 20% premium for someone who thinks their USP is 'being British'. Where I live, we have a whole host of Brits who deign to grace us with their presence and come touring, and of course I understand increased costs, and your right to choose your rate, but anyone who starts pushing the £200/hr mark (by being Brit), just leaves me thinking "just how many orifices does she have?"
Whilst this is not meant to be comparison ('cos BraveSirJim will leap in) I give this as a real life example:
WG A - Brit, been in the business years, excellent service, good fun&chat £150/hr
WG B - Romanian, been at it for 2+ years, excellent service. good fun&chat (great English as 2nd language) £100/hr
Visited both on many occasions, but finally dumped (A) for a very simple reason:
I HATE EROTOWEAR - flippantly say (I never demand) you have a choice "dress code is either Burqa & Bridget Jones knickers or only killer heels and a smile"
Despite these hints, (A) still insists on 'doing it her way' and I never return, thinking "FFS, it is not like I was asking to shit in her ear" (B) happily obliges(or cheekily winds me up)
Of course their are exceptions (I did check my AW when-i-am-out-of-town HL and yours is up there, for potentially blowing all the above preconceptions into the weeds. I think I stuffed it now though
)
but I stand by my '
Brits not hated, just a long way down the list' statement - cannot be arsed with the hassle and am happy so far with the (in the last 5 years) selection
Rom, Pole, Czech, Hungarian, Serbian, American, South African, Brazilian, Spanish, French.....
