Bollocks do they, that's what 99% of them would like to get.
I pay mine £600 a month, which compared to some of the guys is a lot, and for that we bang minimum three times a month and normally its an overnight.
If you add in the hotel cost (I don't, as I'd be staying anyway) maybe dinner (again, not really for me as I'd eat or be out with friends anyway) and possibly some gifts (I admit I've bought things, mainly underwear and toys, but they are for my benefit really) then it might stray up towards a grand or more, but that number as an "average" is pure bollocks.
They may have looked on the site and taken a page of two of adverts and seen the "high, substantial, moderate etc"
wants and then just totted this up and divided by the number of girls.
Although, knowing the Daily Fail they are probably not even that sophisticated, they just made a number up.
The article reads like an advert for SA, they are quite clever at getting press coverage like this and time it normally around the months students go back to uni.
Interesting Portsmouth came out top, last time I was on the site most of the girls from the South Coast were either scams, mingers or hookers....
