Wow. I shan't be moving to Sheffield, you poor bastards

Nor will I, the place looked a dump.

One of the WG's excuses for not turning up for a shift..."My dog's eaten my teeth."   

[smiths]

Don't the police turn a blind eye to brothels if there is no problems.  Its taking the piss out of the police and their blind eye to acknowledge their blind eye turning buy getting a tv crew in.

Yes they do if the top cops in an area decides to, only if a neighbour or others complain might they take any action, thing is that can all change overnight and especially when the police decide its worth raiding under POCA.

The commentator mentioned 300 punters a week, if they only paid £30 each that's £9k a week, an ideal target for POCA if the police choose to act.

[Falstaff]

The fact that Muppet was posing as a regular says set-up, unless in the unlikely coincidence that he actually lives nearby and this is genuinely his 'local'.

Was the Irish tourer called Laura not Laura Lee? If so was her presence there another coincidence or a deliberate set-up so she could make her usual, admittedly valid, point about most prostitution not being either high-end or low-end?

Most of the girls were a dress size too large for me TBH. A couple might have passed muster for 45 minutes in the VIP room.

Was pleased in the sense that most news items are about trafficking, and most documentaries are about escorts serving the luxury segment, and most library piccies or footage is of mini-skirted streetwalkers leaning into car windows. This piece counterbalances those tropes by highlighting the banality of most regular prostitution.

[vinnyadms]

For me the important thing was the way the place was portrayed, normally the public get a very biased view of drug addled people trafficked girls being abused by pimps and drug dealers.

They showed the WG's as normal (ish) if not very attractive who were not coerced and were there of their own free will.
They showed it was a business that paid Tax & NI.
They showed the visitors as normal people. Who gives a fuck one was Muppet, what % of viewers would have any fucking clue who he is.
The owner and her daughter were portrayed as decent people.

I think it was a reasonable portrayal of the industry. Normal people with normal lives paying for a fuck every now and again.

[Firebird]

Just got round to watching this, didn't see a single girl that I would pay to fuck, like a few of you on here a thought the girl in reception looked no bad but upon seeing that crooked fence on her front porch a went straight off her.

And another thing, what was with all the constant fucking eating. And that regular Shaun, who most of the time just popped in for a cuppa and a biscuit, the miserable cunt probably doesn't want to fork out on teabags, leckie, sugar and hob nobs.

[vw]

Have you listened to these Anti pricks they claim that this is economic coercion.

An “economic coercion” argument often invoked by anti-trafficking/prostitution activists holds that, even though many prostitutes and other sex workers appear to be making a free choice to engage in their work without “force, fraud or coercion,” they are nonetheless victimized by the sex industry and should not be viewed as freely choosing to do what they do because they have little or no other means for self-sufficiency and are therefore “economically coerced.”

What a load of bollocks

[MancSean]

Quite a few cops probably punters there in their brown shoes

And rightly so, its not against the law to be a punter, as long as they don't abuse their position of authority, We all have needs.

I doubt they get 300 punters a week, that's what over 40 a day, I doubt GFE even gets that. There's only about 5 reviews on here for City Sauna, which says it all.

[Neal69]

Yeah I watched it too.

Never been in a sauna in my life and unlikely to after seeing that.

Must say that it was 100% better than that other bollocks that was on recently with the two "high class" hookers.

It did seem to me to be a better portrayal of the paid for sex scene with its stereotypes of either drug addled street walkers or high class "escorts" jetting all over the world.

At least it showed punters and prossies as "normal" people and not some kind of weirdos.

Another one here that would not recognise the Mc Coy bloke but it does seem to be a bit of a set up if all what is said about him on here is true.

I think I will stick to the AW independents.

[Corsaire]

This sauna is licenced by Shaeffield council. It is the only one in Sheffield that is. Hence, no raid.

[mh]

Do you think many of their visitors are UKP members? I doubt they are aiming at the discerning punter. 

[DannyJames]

Fuck me. The day I start wanting to shag, let alone pay to shag, the prossies at that place is the day that I'll be asking JRC to drive me to Dignitas.

That fucking lardarse talking about breaking 3 cocks. I wonder why that is?!

And what the hell has happened to toothbrushes and toothpaste in Sheffield?

[Tony Montana]

Jeeez, watching that was the biggest challenge-wank since the shower scene of Schindlers List.

[Ali Katt]

I don't know what they hoped to acheive by making this documentary. GFE must be laughing.

[vw]

Now they qualify to go on celebrity big brother, watch this space.

[Ali Katt]

That police notice on the bedroom door, nothing like making the punter feel like  a criminal before he enters the door.

"A milf is every man's dream" - more bollocks given most men want to see women under 35. Don't believe me look at the reviews. Most men can get the old boots like Laura Lee at home.

[mh]

Jeeez, watching that was the biggest challenge-wank since the shower scene of Schindlers List.

I'll have to look that one up...! 

[raylondoner]

Just watched it and, well fuck my old boots (quaint London saying of unknown origin meaning "golly gosh"), there's grim and there's GRIM and this is off the fucking scale. 

I suggest that a recording of this is shown continuously at Calais along with the message that, if they manage to enter the UK, they will be sentenced to life in Sheffield, and may God, Allah (whoever) have mercy on your soul! 

[LoneWolf2020]

they slipped up with that george bloke when they introduced him to anna as if hes never seen her before, He was supposed to be a regular visiting 3 times a week...she worked there on a regular basis so surely they would have already been aquainted even if he hadnt punted her. FAIL 

[Chezzie John]

I didn't notice this thread last night and posted it in the Yorkshire section. I live about 13 miles away from that place and have met loads of parlour girls in the area but have never been there as I knew the girls were rough. Sheffield does have better parlours and some nice girls but it's still pretty crap for punting.
I think I'd do the redhead manager just because she's been on TV but the others are rough.
The girl who'd been working 20 years was a street girl for all but 4 years. Bugger that

[LoneWolf2020]

thats no excuse to pull a sicky, most guys got a gummy blowjob on their bucket list right?

[vw]

Booked my summer holiday to Sheffield this year now !

[Hantsolo]

Thank God Hampshire is a bloody long way from Sheffield as that was truly horrible! My commiserations to the punters of Sheffield, you have my sympathy.....

[happyend]

State of the coleslaw, custurd and haddock chowder in the jacuzzi - thought it was a one hour advert for GFE up the road!

[od13218]

And hats off to the young single guy who has no embarrassment about being a regular there. Even if I were single I'm not sure if have the balls (so to soeak!) so good on him for doing his bit to normalise the whole thing.
Doug

[Shagger69]

You'd think with 300 punters a week they'd be able to afford decent wigs FFS

I'd definitely give Sofia and the blonde thing with glasses on my love muscle

[PedroT97]

I just watched this on 4OD. F***ing priceless. It must have taken me over 2 hours. I just had to keep stopping it. I was in tears - you couldn't make it up. When I read the posts I actually thought, for example, that the post about the 'dog has eaten my teeth' was just one of you making it up for comic effect and then a very few minutes into it there it was. There are others: the 'touring girl' likened to a Tesco special offer, the Jacuzzi thing. I mean call me straight laced and I love smoked haddock but WTF in the Jacuzzi? The mince pies at Christmas and the rest. I want to go, hell, I'm over 60 and, in the last couple of years, I've done white water rafting, zip lining, a parachute jump and I did Smiler at Alton Towers before it all went wrong. If I can go there and get a stiffy I'd be impressed by myself. Did she, at the end, liken it to the chippy? It just went on and I loved it - best comedy on TV this year. Pedro.

[MurrayHewitt]

Although I'll be sticking with indies, I think good luck to these WGs. The documentary seems non judgmental and portrays it as an ordinary job for the women and a service for the men. Glad to see it.

[Westney]

I spent a few years in Sheffield during the 1970's, and lived not far from Attercliffe Road, little did I know then that the road would become the so-called 'Golden Mile' with loads of massage parlours. I found the programme to be totally 'sexless' unfortunately, and found some of it hard to believe in terms of 'playing up' to the camera, but I could be wrong as I've never visited the place!

[Jabba the Slut]

Just viewed this.....dear oh dear, some desperate looking girls on show here. Luckily I punt up in the saunas in Edinburgh and after viewing this lot im never complaining again about the standard of girls.(even the Romanians)

[purple_t]

Thank God Hampshire is a bloody long way from Sheffield as that was truly horrible! My commiserations to the punters of Sheffield, you have my sympathy.....

I've lived in both. Often used to get the train to and from Sheffield, and City Sauna was always visible from the train's window as you got close to the city centre train station. Always looked a bit ropey even from the outside, after watching this I'm glad I never went there for a punt lol. It's true what they say, it's grim up north!

[Indian_V]

That's it, I'm going to have check this out on 4OD now 

V x

[ampersand]

Just watched it - not sure which was the funniest part - the shopping trip for sheets and the explanation about colour choices, the Christmas Alzheimer's raffle, or the Christmas special.  I think the special - if I was offered a special that turned out to be a free mince pie before I buried myself balls deep, I think I would hang my boots up.  Priceless!!

[od13218]

Free mince pie with a Christmas Eve fuck? Not bad if you ask me!

[Shagger69]

You would think with 300 punters a week through the door they would be able to afford some half decent wigs

[Stapler]

Free mince pie with a Christmas Eve fuck? Not bad if you ask me!

Looks like the girls ate most of the pies!


..S...

[MeganSophia]

Using George Muppet as a punter prop made me chuckle

[LoneWolf2020]

i would just take the pie

[Falstaff]

Just took a look at the website. You'd think knowing the publicity they have just got that they would make extra care to ensure accuracy at the moment?

Well there the same photo is used for two listed names on today's rota. Someone doesn't know how to spell the name Annabel. One lady is described as a size 12 but is clearly a size 18+, which gives one very little confidence in the other size descriptions, minimum 8, where photos are not available. None of the girls for whom shots are available could be classed as slim. Perhaps they should rebrand as a BBW specialist place

It's all very amateurish, and I doubt that they are even aware of sites like us, never mind monitoring for impact post-broadcast.

As to the POCA thing. I guess if they are licensed they are safe pro tem, but after this they may lose their licence and, if they try to continue, could then be vulnerable to a raid.

[Jimmyredcab]

I could only watch the first 10 minutes, what complete utter dogs -------------- if all pro$$ies were like that I would have given up punting 20 years ago.

There was someone on the documentary that said (paraphrased) "we write honest descriptions, we wouldn't advertise a 40 year old as 22". No, but a dress 16 as a 12 seems de rigueur.

When the documentary started I thought Anna was a bad drag act, until I saw the big tits. I also notice since the documentary went you most of the women have left.

Why were all the men wearing flat caps? Talk about enforcing old stereotypes.

The whole documentary was amateurish in the way it was put together. Not to mention Laura Lee just happened to be there. Does that silly bint ever miss a publicity opportunity? George Muppet was comedy though, he obviously didn't want to see any of them.

Because it's oop North .

What a load of bollocks

By that definition a large % of the population are being 'economically coerced', I would love a career change but with 30 tears experience in my field, no-one will offer the same salary for me to do something different

Any license wont allow the offering of sexual services though of course which is why the owner made a point of saying what the WGs do is up to them, in reality that's not the case as she is running a brothel and could get done at any time, all the police have to do is send an officer in posing as a punter to get the required proof, it couldn't be easier. I hear this place has been in operation for years so the local police haven't been that bothered so far but hearing that they get 300 punters a week whether true or not could have the POCA team rubbing their hands, then again it might not.

[carefree]

It was like a brothel version of Phoenix Nights, it was fucking hilarious

However, I'd have happily smashed the younger blonde with glasses

She is the only one I would've gone for... maybe that blonde MILF-ish dominatrix one at a push

Not sure about her face, deffo a cut above the rest. People say the owner's daughter's fit, the body looked OK if not nice, but not trying to sound like a snob, but she was as common as dogshit.
