This has been an interesting thread. I have already answered FB's question about escort most fondly remembered as have quite a few others.
The thread, however, has set me off thinking with nostalgia about the 'golden years' (2014 - 2017???) in general and about the overall vibe and vitality, even excitement that there was in the NE punting world at the time which I recall with a great deal of pleasure.
With the ELKS (Eva, LilyD, Keeva, and Savannah) in the lead, there were so many super companions to choose from, quite a few of whom have already been named on this thread. Availability, including late evening and weekends, was good. You could look online at 8pm and find upwards of 20 available for incall to 11pm or later from Diamonds, Amour, Dollybirds, Pink Ladies, Premium, Allure and later Bonds before looking at independents so it would be rare not to get sorted. Everyone's tastes are different but there were few bad ones amongst them and they were soon named and shamed on UKP. £50 for 30 mins was the norm and I don't recall any stupid pricing.
UKP and UKE were on fire. There was much banter, entertainment, discussion, and information. Shenanighans at the big house in Hebburn, comings and goings at Diamonds Towers on the Quayside etc etc were discussed and reviewed. You could go to bed at night and wake up to dozens of overnight posts. Moderation must have been a nightmare! Anth G was in his heyday with his dogged determination, wide knowledge and IT skills alerting us to fake profiles and dodgy profiles. Although it eventually ended in tears, there was a lot of useful contact with SPs on UKE at the time.
This thread is for fond recall of past times and not the place to talk about how the bubble burst. Some things do however remain the same. We still get periodic recommendations from Professor Yaffle, UKP members keep reviewing and helping eachother and good SPs, some from the 'glory years' and some newer, are there at reasonable prices in decent numbers even if we have to look a bit harder.
