As the title suggests, quite surprised at the lack of quality people or the quality of service in and around Reading.
Started punting in 2011 and until 2016, I could say that 4 out of 5 punts were satisfying. Quality of service was normal back then but in retrospect, significantly above par compared to the SPs today.
Took a break in between and returned to this hobby last year. Since then, struggling to meet real SPs (most turn out to be scammers) and even from the 5-6 I met, the service ranged from 1-4 out of 10.
Not only AW, even Seeking has gone to the gutters. On Seeking, I would meet 1-2 people on a monthly subscription back then. Now, haven't met anyone over 3 months sub. Did lose money though to scammers who wanted me to fund their train tickets.
Is it time to move to another city? Another country probably? LOL.
Thoughts from anyone in and around Reading?
