I think it's more to do with people in the north east are more vocal/ say what they think & a very passionate about the things they enjoy
I think VW is right. 90% of the problems in the North East are either directly, or indirectly caused by one of the agencies.
Think of any recent soap opera in the north east. An agency will be in there in the mix somehow.
Plus the reason why punters are more vocal on problems here than other places is largely due to the agencies she works for reading what you say.
If the girl was just an independent. Punters would just say their bit and it would be end of. The problem is with agencies, the agency owner comes back to respond, and then other girls on their books comes back to support the agency owner and their fellow girl at the agency. And then girls on another agencies books comes back to that to support the punter against that other agency and get one over the other agency. The other agency owner comes back to support that girl on their books. In the mix there are punters with a liking of each of the agencies all posting in that mess too. And thus merry go round ensures.
