Okay – I just made a fab cup of cappuccino and am all relaxed after a hard day at it – that is, cleaning out the garden shed… It is September soon which means for the phobic among us – spider season! Best, I thought, get on with the shed work now while those little blighters are still busy playing with flies in the garden and not looking for a cozy place to rest their eight legs…
I have been pondering this post all day today while lugging about garden rakes (I have 4 – why?) and finding long lost tennis balls and 2 old toilet seats…
I had a request yesterday for a meeting with a young man who I am sure is completely on the level so, should he be reading this, no dis-respect intended to you Sir.
His request threw up some questions to which the answers were – no.
No matter what way you word it, look at it, how nicely you ask or how lovely you sound – no.
Let’s call the young man X for the sake of his privacy and again state I am sure he intended no ill. I have not spoken to him to clarify or explain the situation as my day has been spent, as said, in the shed…
For a long while now X has been trying to get hold of me, literally and figuratively! Every time he would ask me to make the hour + long journey to him, I have been otherwise engaged or just could not spare the time to do the hour + journey, spend an hour with X and then do the hour + journey home again.
I have a few clients I see from far shores (well, okay, from at most 50 miles away from home - come on that’s far shores for a gal from a small Welsh Town!) and enjoy seeing them and the drive to and from them. I live in a nice part of the world, at this time of the year it is a pleasure to drive through small villages and spot pure black sheep and fantastic looking scarecrows in fields… I will make the effort for a nice client and mostly I have nice clients so make the effort.
When X rang me and requested Thursday and I was free Thursday! What a result! At last, after many weeks of effort, we have lift-off…
Not.
You see the thing is this: I do not mind a drive to see you but I need to know I am safe. X could not meet me at his home for reasons obvious and needing no explanation so we arrange to meet elsewhere. The problem is elsewhere is a house in a very small village where any strange car parked up in the drive would sound alarm bells for neighbours doing their neighbourhood watch duties – and naturally so, I applaud a neighbourhood where one looks out for the other. It’s a dying tradition.
Anyway, to cut a long story short – I am asked to meet in a car park, leave my car in the car park, get into clients car and he will take me to the house in question.
In a word? No.
You see, we working girls, escorts, call us what you will, are not as thick as we are cabbage looking. A lot of the time we get calls asking for meetings where it’s all a big old practical joke. The caller gets a bit of a thrill asking to meet up then leaving us sat in a car park waiting – trust me, in my early days I was burned by this once. Once. It never happened twice. In a rush to get out and get to the booking I regretted to take the hotel reservation number of the chap I was going to meet therefore I failed to ring the hotel to check he was indeed there. Result? I am sat in car park calling the young man and he is not picking up – all a big joke – let’s get the escort to arrive and then watch her sit in the car and not know what to do – yes, very funny, ha, ha. I fall for it once, shame on you – I fall for it twice, shame on me. It’s never happened twice.
So, I am going to take an hour + drive to sit in a car park and be the butt of a practical joke? No I am not and that aside, the most important part of this post – the safety aspect.
Never, ever get into a car with a man you do not know. Do not leave the safety of your car behind. Do not do it. No amount of money is worth the risk.
I might have taken the address of the house we were to meet in, but really, if harm was intended (which again, I am sure it was not but I have to air on side of caution) what are the odds that address would be correct?
I have a system in place, as do mostly all other WG’s where we inform another WG where we are going. That is why we ask for your details when you call and ask for an outcall – your real details. Anything that does not match up on the electoral register and in phonebooks – we don’t go out of our house.
The deal is if we fail to ring our fellow WG after the booking, they call the police and trust me, the police do come and not in an hours time either as they tend to do if your car has been smashed to bits – they arrive and promptly. They can arrive as promptly as they like but if the address is wrong, what is the use in that? They can send 50 police men, a swat team, the bloody SAS and it would do no good if the address given to me, the one I gave to my fellow WG – in this case Alex from Heathrow – (lovely Alex, blond, smilie, full of sunshine and laughs a bit like Twiggy - go look her up, nice legs, works out a lot!) If I am not at that address, it’s of no use to me if half of bloody Swansea turn up to rescue the damsel in distress – I am not there, I am elsewhere and in a heap load of shit – pardon the French…
It is our safety net, our insurance, why we ask you for details – not to store them away to use one day to have some wicked revenge upon a poor sod who booked us – we ask for our personal safety.
I apologise to the young man in question for using him in such a brash manner on my blog but it’s actually an important entry and as guys that call me are generally thinking with what’s between their legs (come on, admit it…) not with their brains, sometimes you ask me for things and I refuse and you wonder why or you think I am being a bitch – I really am not – I am looking out for myself and ensuring I am here tomorrow to do another days pleasure at Lloyd Towers and not gracing the slab down the local mortuary.
Okay – onto other matters…. I have the great pleasure of being invited back to visit sock man tomorrow night (see last blog entry!) Now, sock man, well, I did not mention in last post that he had very big, uh, socks!
Us girls know what big feet mean, right? I mean, I only just managed to stop myself from gasping ‘that is not coming near me, Sir…’ and fleeing out of the door screaming in sheer alarm when he got all ready for action last time!
So I have been on the look out for very big condoms all week. Not really had much luck but I did get an envious look from the lady behind the counter in the chemist when I leaned in close and whispered ‘Do you have condoms in bigger sizes? It’s just the normal ones? Far too small, it almost cut off all blood circulation, I have to locate bigger condoms and fast…’ I think jealousy or was it hatred I saw in her eyes? Not sure, anyhow, she couldn’t assist me so I left with a new nail varnish, it’s a nice shade of pink.
I will try Boots tomorrow but am not sure I will win out on this one so my lovely guy with the ticklish sides, hysterical laugh and good taste in music (you do have good taste, there is nothing the matter with Son of a Preacher Man!) might have to take another deep breath as I tell him to quit complaining, it’s for his own good! (do not anybody ever complain to me again that their impressive manhood failed to get a mention on my blog – as this goes to prove – I will do it…)
So, that’s the coffee drunk, the house has taken on its quiet, 1am feeling and I am about ready for bed. If I do not go now, I will begin to eat all the Jelly Babies I have stashed away in a secret place and that can not be good for me – not at this time in the night anyhow… Although, now I have mentioned them, a few can’t hurt, right?
