£60, I seem to remember, at December 2004 prices. And that, as an old beggar like me is entitled to say, was when £60 was £60!
It was what I paid for half an hour with "the best of the girls here today for a very nervous first-time customer, please" at Sandy's Parlour in Prestwich. And this nervous newbie was so satisfied with what we did in that half hour that I checked their rota and had another half hour with the same girl a few days later.
Regrettably, I can't remember the name she used; but, nearly 16 1/2 years later - and I shudder to think how many ££ lighter - she's partly responsible for getting me hooked on this incredible habit of ours!
