WG Putting Prices Up

[king tarzan]

I did not want to start a new thread so wanted to ask this question here.

In light of the current situation...has anybody noticed if WGs have started to drop their prices yet?

Does anyone think within the next 6 months the prices will drop to £120 for an hour in London or other major cities?

Or will it still stay at the current highs of £150+.

I have checked around a little but not seen much change...maybe it's too soon  .

owner what the prices would be tomorrow????

After the PM's broadcast they shouldn't be working and punters shouldn't be punting. It's no longer social distancing it's lock down, not even visiting your own family if they don't live with you.

Any with any sense just simply won’t be working at all .

Problem is how do the European girls pay the rent, food and bills. 
Some are up shit creek without a paddle .

Escorts will not stop working, the only thing that will stop is outcalls. The punter will assume more of the risk of being stopped, questioned, and fined. Prices won't change, customers won't just disappear, especially somewhere like London.

1641 ‘available today’ green lights currently.....

1641 ‘available today’ green lights currently.....

WGs have to pay for those in advance - and I bet AW doesn't give refunds if the WG changes her mind about her availability.

There are bound to be some WGs desperate for cash who are still working, but the numbers will be a lot lower than the total of green lights.

i have read its a 30 quid fine, so depending on how deperate someone is 30 quid is nothing

[Davidj]

So for the next 3 weeks none of us should be punting, so I guess when restrictions are relaxed there will be a rush. I’m assuming the more popular and successful girls will put up prices to recoup lost earnings

[casio]

_At_least_ the next 3 weeks.... could easily be longer if things are not looking up in a couple weeks....

The lock-down period contains Easter Sunday currently, which will be bad enough. Perhaps they will review it before then and lift it, but Easter weekend rush could make infections way worse so maybe not.. Basically, fuck knows.

Indeed.  It would need something like a truly universal & generous basic income to give all of them the choice to stop working.

[peter purves]

Honestly this is a good thing. Rip off prices just puts me off punting.  It helps me save loads of ££££. Now I spend my money on nice things like suits, holidays and eating out. And I still got lots of cash saved. When I really need it I just watch porn.

Its a horrible feeling when a prostitute takes your hard earned cash and delivers fk all.

I'm afraid it's not going to be 3 weeks, more like 13 !!
Maybe the expected "rush back" also won't happen. This situation will change views and people's actions.
I guess nobody knows what will happen.

Why will that day be any different from all the others?

If you search a particular keyword in aw it shows some WG with special rates , some provide restricted services.

in other news New York has banned Rimming...

I wish they'd ban New York.  Just hoping they will find Trump properties infected and shut them down.

No.  The "Available Today" green light can only be paid for on the day itself.  If the green light is showing, the girl in question – or the girl's Romanian pimp, as applicable – has decided to advertise the fact that she is working on that day.

Actually, it can be paid on the day or in advance.

True enough - I was brought up in an religious adherent family but once I was able to think for myself saw it was ludicrous.

But on a secular level, I just meant how will we tell a bank holiday from any other day when we're all stuck at home on the sofa every day...

[Vice Admiral]

Obviously I bow to your superior knowledge!

But surely a girl can't have a long-running "season ticket", so that the green light never disappears?

In other words, don't you have to specify either on the day itself or on the previous day (but no earlier) that you want the green light showing on a given day?

Or am I wrong again!

You can pay up to two weeks in advance.

I stand very corrected!

[Payyourwaymate]

Thanks for the responses, it seems my question was too soon...silly me  . In a couple months maybe the picture will be clearer, if it's safer by then. I wonder if the amount of WGs camming will go up to make up for not physically seeing punters? I would imagine so.  .

hope not.. want the hotties to earn very good money fucking, not teasing!!

[blend57]

As with any business it depends on the the cash position. If they have enough in savings then the WG can self isolate as with everyone else. If not then the WGs can apply for benefits like any other self employed person or carry on working. Those with webcam business will probably make do with that. Otherwise it will be down to how many punters are willing to risk a punt during the lock down. If supply is greater than demand then prices should fall. If demand is greater than supply prices could actually rise.

There are tricks that businesses can do to get through situations like these. Hotels offer big discounts for future bookings if the punter pays upfront with no refunds in the event of cancellation. Works for hotels but unlikely to work with WGs (I wonder why.....  ).

[Clitheroelad]

Providing they were registered as self employed. Then they only get 80% of their decalred income. Lets hope they declared all their income eh ?

But even if you've paid in advance for the status, surely you can switch it off on particular days if you're not actually then available (not get a refund on it necessarily)?

[Rochelle]

You can switch it off, but sometimes they don't because they've already paid for it, so they leave it for the exposure.

[luv2kiss54]

I think the 80% only applies to PAYE not self employed workers.

[GingerNuts]

Shooting themselves in the foot. It looks like they're working and don't give a toss about the situation.

[jesse4585]

I think the 80% only applies to PAYE not self employed workers.

True.   The UK gov has said they'll help firms pay 80% of the salary of PAYE workers   (with a limit of about 2.5k / month, taking effect from April, etc.)

In some other countries the gov is paying about 80% of declared income to the self employed, but this has not yet been confirmned by UK, fingers crossed they'll do something soon. If not there's going to be riots.

Ideally there needs to be something even more generous, to help out those in the grey economy who paid little or nothing.

Anyhow, getting back on topic,  I'd agree no one really knows what's going to happen with prices.  My guess would be supply will recover more quickly then demand,  and that if anything prices could on average drop a little once it become safer to punt.  But there's bound to be exceptions...

[GingerNuts]

They put little or nothing in so they should get little or nothing out.

Time will tell. When the time comes it'll depend on how the supply and demand balance pans out.

[winkywanky]

Hmmm, I wonder whether AW are being socially responsible in these difficult times?

Like putting a banner at the top of their website alerting people to the dangers of Covid-19, or perhaps setting up a hardship fund for WGs?

Like fuck will they.

When things get really tough here (we ain't seen nothing yet) I wonder whether the govt will take some kind of action on AW and brothels which are still working?

Of course brothels are already technically illegal, they would easily be dealt with because the blind eye could simply be uncovered.

Indeed mh....  Theres no such thing as a free lunch. At some stage we will have to account for this, the same as we did the costs from WW2. That debt was finally paid off in the Maggie Thatcher years.

[Home Alone]

Very true, MrM. Earlier today, I heard a pundit on Radio 4 reckoning that, even with currently very low rates of interest for the government's borrowing and/or 'quantitative easing' - the Bank of England printing many more notes than they planned to - we, our children and our grandchildren will be paying this bill well into the current century.

[jesse4585]

"No such thing as a free lunch"  is blatantly false.  Many are happy to give without expecting anything back.  (though admittedly most like to give only to those they see as deserving).

And if you check the records, WW1 debt was paid off by Cameron, and  WW2 debt was paid off in the Tony Blair years.
It's nice to be reminded of WW2 though - afterwards, even though the public saw Churchil as a war hero, they elected Labour to sort out the mess, and with a Landslide victory similar to Tony Blairs.  Like you some of you are suggesting, Socialism is once more in the ascendance,  and even some Tory MPs are helping to crush those debating against Q.E and sensible levels of borrowing.   

No one knows how things are going to play out, but there's some reason to think we'll have a kinder world once we get to other side. With relevance to punting, probably with less tolerance for trafficking, and hopefully with Decrim to make it easier for lasses to safely work.  As with others, the true colours of the Brits are being revealed in Extremis.

I'm not referring to the fact that yesterday I gave a food parcel to two disabled neighbours of mine.  And Jesse you know I'm not referring to that.
My comment is on what mh says. When things go drastically wrong we look to the government to bail us out. Laker Airways went to the Governmment for a bail out and it was declined- went to the wall. Ferranti did the same. This is somewhat different though as this affect every person in the UK. We are in it together.

You are right no one knows how this is going to play out but there is going to be a massive debt that may take generations to pay back "ergo no free lunch", you took it out of context.

I agree with you "but there's some reason to think we'll have a kinder world once we get to other side". in what you say here. I too feel this is a chance for community to develop strong ties by supporting one another with in our own communities. I am already seeing it in mine. Also the request for 250,000 nhs supports has seriously impressed my. I think this morning it was 170,000 volunteers so far.
We will only get through all this by helping one another and yes Jesse, I too think we will have a kinder world once we get to the other side.

Fair play Mr Matrix, I agree that *some* types of government bail outs can make things worse.  Even some of us in the Labour party know there is much to be said for leaving the markets alone as much as possible.   As I understand it, with Q.E.  the debt doesn't have to paid back as such.  It does with conventional government borrowing. So yes if they do too much bond issuing & not enough monetary creation,  there could be a debt that could take generations to pay off...

I could be wrong about Q.E., its many years since I worked in investment banks... But very glad we agree about the main thing, here's to that posible kinder world

Sorry, this has disgusted me.  The government continues to let millions of self-employed and other non-permanent workers swing and has the gall to ask for 250000 unpaid volunteers too.   So who's going to volunteer?  Those with the wherewithal to give their labour for free because they don't have expenses or dependents to attend to.  What's wrong with offering paid positions at living wage rates to enable some of those struggling to maintain their necessary incomes?  How about all the paid delivery drivers who will now see even more of their work destroyed?  Taxi services?  This government bungling that destroys people's livelihoods is fouling the wound and sticking a knife in by replacing them with unpaid labour (or the labour of those on PAYE whose companies qualify for 80% pay support).

BTW, so will they be testing all these volunteers who will be infection risks in a logistical process directed at the vulnerable?  Where will these people be in the queue for testing that also includes all public (and private) sector workers who have to cross the social distancing boundary already?

I think that the danger with QE (printing/creating money) is that if you create too much "new" money you have more money chasing the same amount of goods and services and prices go up. Prices going up = inflation. Too much money created equals too much inflation which in extreme circumstances leads to economic disaster (and then social disaster).

Price is irrelevant for at least the next 3months.

I hope its not 3 months - I'm not sure whether the public will continue to go along with it for that long - and the price tag attached to it will be horrendous.  But luckily Mr Trump thinks it will all be OK by Easter!!!
