Welcome to our little region WelshClipper,
IMO Brexit hasn’t had a massive impact on NI punting. Romanian gangs (allegedly) bring EE girls in through the ROI and ship them about the whole of Ireland on rotation. Easy as there is no ROI (EU) to NI (UK) boarder control. There is an Irish Sea boarder now though, so it could be tricky getting a girl from London to Belfast. It’s pretty shit trying to order stuff here from Axxxxxx.co.uk too. Thanks for that Boris you lying bastard LOL.
Lockdown I think has had the biggest impact. Also girls are unwelcome in hotels and other accommodation. Not to mention its illegal now in the whole of Ireland.
It’s been illegal for a number of years now though.
Probably a combination of COVID risk, Brexit hostilities, pent up demand and reduced supply creating a perfect storm. The move online for some is easier money too without risk or stigma.
Higher end girls like Sarah and Lilly charging £200 will inevitably have the others jealous wanting their slice of the pie raising their prices accordingly, if independent and not trafficked or controlled, less work for same or more money.
So voting with the feet won’t affect them as much as we think or hope if you know the way supply and demand graphs work. There will still be those out there willing to pay the top rates.
There are vicious circles that could keep those prices high too. Foreign independent tourers booking stays in hotels or whatnot have a fixed cost for their stay with flights which may be more expensive now too with COVID. If they can’t make their money back or make enough profit they won’t comeback and may pass that message on to others. That reduces supply further too keeping those prices high if the demand remains the same.
Personally too then I’d be suspicious of low prices as to me it may suggest a criminal gang in control and not a major concern about massive profits or service but more a revolving door. If that was the operating model it’s bound to be watched by police at some point.
Local feel a safer bet for me at present.
