Are you sure that she mentioned retiring? I didn't see it in your post. Maybe working in North Shields made her realise she'd had enough of escorting
She has said this abour retiring before ever working in North Shields.
North Shields is the best place in England, never mind just Newcastle
I get the feeling anyone who works there will get invigorated like Spinach does to Popeye.
Whereas Gateshead is like Jack Torrance at the end of the Shining running through the maze and just giving up and dying from the sheer frustration of it all.
I am saying that hoping girls move there. But you have to see the irony of it all. Totally fit girl moves to North Shields, something I had been begging for years to happen. And then she bloody refuses to ever see me when she does.
