Just to add my pennyworth to this 'argument'.
I don't live in the North East but I normally choose to punt there as opposed to elsewhere, the sole reason being the high quality of ladies I have seen for the past 5 years, in that particular region.
I will never seen a Romanian lady for oh so many reasons that we are all aware of in our small community on here

To a certain extent, I did see the region start to suffer when these Rom's first began to appear on the scene, but most notably when they landed at 'Diamonds' and, for me, that was the beginning of the end for what was once, my favoured agency & my main way of contacting WG's (I did not like AW at all & UKE did not exist).
Roll forward to present day and I still hold the thought the the NE region has an extremely high level of quality ladies (I'm not comparing it with everywhere else in the country - I've not been everywhere else in the country) certainly the best that I have personally encountered.
I haven't indulged much recently but when I do, I'm pretty sure it will be in the NE again
