City league table for paid sex

[NIK]

Further to my thread about punting deserts below I would think the city rankings for paid sex go something like this.  Certainly in terms of the number of reports. Apart from the spectacular rise of Milton Keynes it has always been and probably always will be like this. I was once told it is all to do with the relative wealth of an area.

1. London. Easily first
2. Manchester
3. Milton Keynes. This may now actually have overtaken Manchester.
The rest are a long way behind but Leeds and Newcastle probably via for fourth place. Glasgow and Edinburgh have their moments.

We then move to Sheffield which has a lot of reports but they mostly tend to be for GFE bloody parlour.  Take these out and Sheffield has very few reports and hardly any for escorts.
Other big cities such as Liverpool, Birmingham and Bristol seem to be even worse. For the size of the city the escort scene in Merseyside is shameful and always has been. Whilst for the second city Birmingham is pathetic. Indeed although Birmingham is the second city in terms of population it has always felt like Manchester is actually England's second city.

With respect....
Birmingham is England's second city so fucking there!!! 

 Travel up and down the UK and actually I think Birmingham has a lot of choice compared to some places.

Maybe I'm being unfair.
I've never actually been to Birmingham apart from once inadvertently driving through it on the way back from Stratford which doesn't really count, whereas I know Manchester quite well, but there just seems to be more going on culturally in Manchester.

Do you mean 'culturally' or 'cunturally'? (reminds me of a book in my mother's bookcase - "The Cult of Elizabeth" - I was always dying to change it but never dared ...  )

I'd much rather live in Manchester than the Midlands but at least down here I know I can get on the phone any time and there are at least 3 girls I can fix up to see within an hour or so if I want to.  But when I visited Mcr a fortnight ago I researched it really well, sent PMs out etc but apart from the booking I eventually fixed up which was in effect pre-arranged by a few days I only had 1 other definitely available, assuming she would have answered her phone - one was on the blob but the others didn't reply and didn't have phone number showing.

I often wonder why Manchester and Milton Keynes have such well regarded punting scenes when Birmingham has the population of both combined.

Manchester has two high profile football clubs and a nice airport and other than that Brum has nothing to envy Manchester for.

There are 13 or 14 parlours that I know of and a couples of agencies but it can be hard to find good service consistently. 

[Curious6705]

Manchester has always seemed to me to be punting central in the North, though it's years since I punted there. Maybe crap if you don't like parlours for all I know though, as I never tried anything else up there.

Birmingham - don't wish to hurt the feelings of anyone who lives there, but I've only ever passed through or visited the NEC, been there on business. I can't imagine I would actually choose to go there rather than visiting a transport hub / exhibition centre / a business. Whereas I know the likes of Manchester and London have other stuff I'd do in between punting.

[dilettante]

...other than that Brum has nothing to envy Manchester for

- an opera company (Opera North)
- 2 professional orchestras instead of 1
- OK no ballet but Leeds has one
- (IMO) much nicer people
- fresh air in the centre of town
- moorland hillwalking for miles within striking distance

I'm going green already just thinking about it ...

Well when I was researching populations I was surprises to see that MK is now well over 200,000. Yet I believe it's still not a city. However it sure has grown!

Technically Sheffield has a larger population than Manchester, although it depends what criteria you use. I don't know if that includes Salford, Stretford, etc. Obviously Greater Manchester is much larger.

The population league tables is quite complex. One version has Wakefield, which I believe is only a town and doesn't even a league football team, in the top dozen with a population of over 300,000.

When I was a kid in the sixties I used to read my dad's RAC book and the relative size of English cities was much more straightforward back then.

1. London.
2. Birmingham.
3. Manchester.
4. Liverpool.
5. Leeds.
6. Sheffield.

It is much more complex now and Sheffield certainly now has a larger population than Liverpool which has shrunk. It is also possibly now slightly larger than Leeds. The only certainty is that Leeds is easily the largest city with just one football team!   

[dilettante]

Yet I believe it's still not a city.

I was brought up on the definition that a city has to have a cathedral.

Can't see that godless lot building one any time soon, to be honest ...

[pabulum]

Off the original topic, but Wakefield became a city, and its parish church became a cathedral, in 1888.

[Roland D Hay]

Having lived in Leeds for a while I think I can state with a degree of certainty that it's very poor for paid sex. Newcastle and Gateshead used to be pretty good, Nottingham is the punting pits and Birmingham is mediocre. I have to say that I like Coventry, always a gem or two to be found there at very reasonable cost.

Didn't realise it was a city. Is it actually a big place then?

Wakefield District had a population of just over 325,000 in the 2011 census. It is classed as a City.

Must be easily the biggest place without a football league team then.

   Am i the only one who does not give a toss about who as a football league team ?

No! 

[jimbobwood]

Wakefield are in The Evo-Stik League Northern Premier League.

The rest are a long way behind but Leeds and Newcastle probably via for fourth place. Glasgow and Edinburgh have their moments.

I am not sure if this can be true. Put it this way the rest of the country must be in pretty dire straits if this was.

As for Newcastle the Adultwork scene is pretty much dead, and always has been for all the time I have been punting. If I search AW for my region I would probably find possibly 5 genuine girls on there between 20-25. The rest all PG scams. And that has been it for every year it feels

The Agency scene seems to be the thing here, but after EscortDreams got closed down back in last June, it seems to have dried up massively too as most of the agencies are afraid to now offer incall flats so now there is hardly much choice on the agencies too. Hence why it seems we have been invaded by the Romanians as they are everywhere.

To be honest I have always thought Bristol was up there in the top 5 to be honest.

This looks like a good guide for population etc:

As I have said before Sheffield is good if you like shagging grannies, chavs and overweight women. You'll literally be in hog's heaven.

Derby seems a reasonably sized city, but a punting desert. Preston is fucking shit for paid-sex, but it has only been a city since 2000.

The largest city without a football team is Bath. As they seem to be all in for the Rugby there.

[jimbobwood]

There are two teams in Bath. Bath City and Team Bath. I know, I'm sad non-league fucker.

[dilettante]

   Am i the only one who does not give a toss about who as a football league team ?

What's one of them??

[jimbobwood]

What's one of them??

A football team above conference standard. From league 2 to the premier league.

Preston VIP has some reasonable girls.  That gives Preston one more decent parlour than Liverpool.

Crewe punches way above its weight in terms of parlours.  Must be the pound for pound parlour town champion. Was rivalled by Bury whilst thewonderlounge was still open.

[Stiltskin]

3. Milton Keynes. This may now actually have overtaken Manchester.

MK is overated. It may get a lot of reports and mentions on forums, but in terms of the number of ladies to choose from, there must be several cities that have a bigger scene.

Derby is actually quite a small city really, i can get just about anywhere within the city in 15/20 minutes (dependant on traffic obviously, and the seemingly endless road works). Whilst also being particularly poor on the punting front

Yep. In terms of land it seems smaller than the likes of Hull, but according to wiki has a higher population than Cambridge and nearly as many as Newcastle. I see it as the more people the more prossies.

It is a nightmare to drive in. Ridiculous road system.

I don’t know how true this fact is and if it has any relevance to the thread, but apparently Reading is the biggest town in England that isn’t classed as a city, with a population of around 1miliion…. I think I heard it on the one show years ago… Of course, I could be mistaken

Sorry mistaken,  Reading comes 41st on the list of cities and towns. Pop 133,500.
