Some parlours seemed to have gone since covI'd struck.
Cosmopolitan  Manchester, Georgian  Oldham and Incalls38 +Honey Middleton.
Does seem  likely  that they will  re-open?

Probably when it is safer to do so.
Greater Manchester is under tighter lockdown than most other parts of UK

Had enough of Crewe brothels now.

According to their website and Twitter they'll re-open when they consider it safe to do so.

Salon 24 would be no great loss if it does end up closing imo, it's old & tired & the management & staff (in the main) don't give a shit about customer satisfaction, much better options out there.

Too true KK, I gave up on Salon 24 years ago.

Of the parlours that have reopened, quite a few girls that used to be on their rotas have not returned, and some have disappeared from the websites altogether. This is a shame. Hopefully these girls haven't retired altogether. This applies also to some AW WGs.

There are still some decent WGs working but overall the reopenings have been a little underwhelming.

Unfortunately I can see some more parlours closing if we have a bad winter. Let's face it, there's no vaccine anytime soon, and the more things get back to normal, the more people will catch covid. Sad times.

Offline elephantdung

Regarding Salon 24, their Twitter feed says they will not be reopening. I think it's a shame because it further reduces the amount of choice in the city centre and also because I had a few good punts there. To be fair, I had a couple of rubbish punts too but I'd say it was about 60-40% in favour of good punts. That's about consistent with other places in my experience. Also, Salon 24 was a bit off the beaten track with a relatively private entrance.

Anyone know where the Salon 24 girls went, specifically Habiba, Sarah, Holly and Eve?

Looks like Covid is going to reset the punting scene just as its resetting society and jobs in general. I suspect once we start getting back to normal the parlour void will be filled by new ones opening.

I disagree, sadly. Many good parlours have closed over the last 10 years and have not been replaced. I see no reason why new parlours will appear after covid. WGs seem to prefer the AW route (where they don't have to answer to parlour owners and can also potentially make more money), and people are put off from starting parlours as they are not strictly legal.

Parlours are a dying industry. Hope I'm wrong.

CV has killed many other hospitality jobs. Sadly many of these people are working in hospitatlity as they don't have academic skills otherwise in general they'd be earning the big bucks in IT, law, construction etc.
Sex work is slightly different but massage+ parlours still need a reasonable footfall to pay their rents etc.

I imagine over the next months the scene is going to get flooded with new sex workers and it will be even hard to discriminate between genuine and scam and service will fall downwards. Maybe prices will fall. I think prices of established providers will rise. Last week a provider mentioned a £20 cleaning fee to be added to any in-call.

I hope things can go back to before but doubt it will be like this time last year for a long time. Although I'm getting quite good at flirting with housewives wearing a mask.

Was that to cover her laundry bills? :D Or did you not ask and just moved onto the next name on your list?

I think you will find the night places in manchester will be closed to after the covid lock down I mean who goes piccadiily or cosmo before 10
Now the pubs close at 10 so been open will get the authorities noses up & may take action

One or two of the othere may be gone I mean a few listed are just basically for lock in

The Georgian in Oldham is for sale but what are you buying I think a lot of staff have already walked

I think Parlours have been struggling for a few years. The influx of thai "massage" places has not helped. I have not been to a parlour for 8 years finding the relief i am looking for in the thai and chinese places. With the proliferation of these shops (and i find they are fairly busy) it must have had an effect.

Are you getting FS in these places?

Offline sinbad52

Most of the Thai places do not offer FS  but nevertheless are still taking business away from traditional parlours.
Like it or not they seem to have thrived.

Thank you

A clever response after you took some time to think about it. A pity you didn't put as much thought into your previous post.

Given the drop in Indi SP's on AW over the last 7 months you would have thought / hoped that parlours would be using it as an opportunity to cash in but they are their own worst enemies and their business sense is plain crap  :dash:

I'm really eluding to the lack of self promotion / marketing on their websites and the lack of accuracy / keeping them updated.
Looking at the parlours that I check to see whose working i'd comment as follows -

GFE actually do a good job of keeping the information / rota up to date in a similar way to how SS used to and the place seems to actually be run as a serious business.

LMB's rota is all over the place, if I click on the "On today" link and then the link for whatever day it is they normally show a difference in the girls working  :dash:
God knows when they update the rota, is it daily or weekly for the next week  :unknown: If I look at Thursday girls later on this afternoon (so they would have hopefully updated for the week) i'm not actually sure if the girls worked last Thurs or are due to work this Thurs, they only need to put the actual date on the website so Thurs 8th instead of just Thurs.
Same applies to girls working hours, I know one of the good things for the girls at LMB is they can pick their hours but i've called to see a girl who is showing as working 2 days that week only to be told she isn't working at all (basically the website hasn't been updated to take the girl off and it's already half way through the week)

Preston VIP do state the actual date so Mon 5th etc which is good, just checked and this weeks rota is already up but seems to be hit and miss week to week how quickly it's done.
My main gripe with VIP is the lack of pictures for new girls, sorry but I just ain't punting a girl if she doesn't have any pics up

50 shades, where the fuck to start with this one, prime location of National prominence due to the old Sandys connection but the place is dead, punted an ex SS and 50 shades girl recently at GFE and she said she switched parlours as 50 shades is too quiet and doesn't have the footfall anymore.
Again they don't state the actual date and it can even be Monday afternoon but the rota for the week hasn't been updated FFS  :dash:
One of the main issues at this place is the fact they have been caught out using fake / other girls pictures, I just don't trust any of the pics so i'm unlikely to take a chance, they've effectively pushed the self destruct button

I write as somebody who hasn't punted in a Parlour since about 2012. And that particular punt was only because at the time, it - LMB - employed a lass who I liked the look of and who kept flirting with advertising on AW but ultimately preferred the security of working in a Parlour.

At this length of time I can't remember her name; but the point I wanted to make was that whatever else was going on around Sandy's when it closed, the one thing you could say in its favour was that it had a brilliant, consistently reliable, website.

You really would have thought that the other Parlours around Bury and Manchester would have learned a lesson in how to attract custom in this technological era.  :unknown:  :rolleyes:

Offline Rack Admirer

50 Shades is a real mystery. Maybe it is still in the shade (or shadow) of Sandys and can't emerge? Perhaps some WGs are wary of working there in case the place is raided again, and the owners are similarly reluctant to spend much in case plod come careering through the door at some point?

I have punted there once since the lockdown (a girl I reviewed at a different parlour some years back). It was a reasonable sesh but the place seemed very quiet. There appeared to be little in the way of covid protection going on, but it was getting on for 2 months ago when I went. All those great times in there and now it's quite a depressing place.

Offline TomTank

I get the impression that 50 Shades is a bit old school, in the sense that parlours before the internet didn't have to worry too much about customer service and feedback.

Plenty of decent ones out there though - Sheridans, Roses, and Baileys all within shooting distance.
