External Link/Members OnlyComms: Really good. It was a last minute decision on my part, rang to ask if she'd see me in three hours or so. Answered the phone quickly and seemed keen to get the booking in so all set up without any hassle. Was reassuringly keen on the phone.
£250 for 90 minutes.
Premises: Modern maisonette between Gloucester Place and Baker Street. It's in a triangle between Baker Street, Marble Arch and Edgware Road tube stations. I drove so I don't know how long it would take to walk from each but I'd guess ten minutes or so. The flat was immaculate. We went straight down the stairs to her room.
Journey: Had a bit of a nightmare (traffic and a mis-calculation on my part) so I was 20 minutes late. She was fine with that (I kept her informed of my progress - or lack of it) but I was curious to see how she would deal with it at the other end of the booking. Technically, she could have counted the booking to have started at the agreed time and if I wasn't there hard luck. She said nothing about it except I noticed she ended the booking ten minutes after the due end time - in other words she split the time missed 50/50 which I thought was quite cute.
Tanya: There's been a lot of speculation about her gender history but I have no doubt she's all female. Her stated age is 35 and, even if she hasn't knocked a few years off in the time honoured fashion, she is in astonishingly good shape. She's a very attractive woman, with a toned body, everything in proportion and her pictures really don't do her justice. Really.
She did everything I asked: CIM for the first round, followed by pro-bone and CG for round two. It was all done with willing and at no stage did she try to avoid anything I asked her to do.
But...she was really detached from the whole process. I got the feeling she was really only going through with all this because it was her job. At my age, I need a bit of encouragement. The best experience for me is when the girl puts on a show that she really likes being with me...it's all an illusion of course but it helps me to get off. This was never the case with Tanya who reminded me of an air stewardess who smiles enthusiastically at you and as soon as she turns away her face drops and she's just thinking of landing, getting rid of the passengers and going home.
So her lack of illusion (if I can put it that way) does not compromise the positive rating because, after all, the job was done, but it does mean I would not return. Certainly not at those rates.
