York, Hull & Grimsby
I set out for York on Thursday morning, but headed via Greater Manchester. Hayley, the cheerful and exuberant receptionist at the Georgian in Oldham, had suggested I enjoy a session with their new star, a Portuguese lass by the name of Nina. She was going to be busy from 10.30 onwards, so it was suggested I turn up at 10, which I duly did. Because of some problems with the traffic, Hayley, who was bringing Nina in, turned up at 10.15, but I always try to be flexible and so we went up to the V.I.P. suite a quarter of an hour late. Nina obliged nevertheless with a full 30 minute session and was excellent, she has a delightful body and knows how to use it to maximum effect.

I then set out for York and first popped in to the most notable establishment in the city, a discreet apartment called Suzanne's located in Fulford on the south side of the city. There I found myself recognised by Tiffany. a very attractive blonde whom I had photographed for the guidebook, when she was working, as she apparently still does, at the 133 Club in Leeds' Dewsbury Road.It turned out Tiffany was quite impressed by the corrective guide, since she is a great friend of Mistress Valeska, a equally good looking domme who also hails from Huddersfield and who now works from her own studio in Stockport.
After flogging them some books and leaving them with a certificate, I set out to visit the towns' three indie sex shops. When I had rung Blue Star Publications, an unusual outfit, but one of my longest standing outlets, a few months back, I was informed that with Paul having moved on, Jim was now making all the decisions and he was somewhat concerned about my guidebooks, being of the opinion that with all the hoo ha about trafficking, he might lose his sex shop license for stocking my books. When I remember a hardcore mailorder outfit in Bexhill not being interested in stocking my books because they were so tame, I felt gobsmacked. Blue Star Publications is the only establishment that I am aware of that specialises in vintage adult memorabilia, but had been a good regular outlet for my books almost since I started. I was luckily able to persuade Jim he had little to fear, though understanably, he was not prepared to put up my poster. I had no such problems at the other two shops and so I then headed off to Hull.
I first called in on Elliott,the man behind Hull, now renamed Humber Escorts, the local adult directory website. Unlike other areas of Britain, the Harman initiative has thankfully rather passed this city by. Adverts are still in the papers and there have been no closures. The only changes are a change of management at the new parlour Club V.I.P., a new flat opening in the Marina area and Tiffany's being about to close down, with Tiffany reverting to being a dominatrix working on her own and once the lease runs out, she will be working at her home rather than at the flat in Beverley Road. I told Elliott about recent developments elsewhere in Britain.

I then visited Jane at the Executive Suite, which is as busy and luxurious as ever, now boasting a pole dancing suite!! After popping into and leaving books at Adult Nation the indie sex shop on Beverley Road, I visited Club Ambiance, run by two mature ladies, confusingly called Lyn & Linda, whom I do not think have ever worked in the industry personally themselves, but who are a very amiable couple and have a pleasant parlour. They were interested to hear what is going on elsewhere around the country.
Having finished there I went off to my hotel and got a good night's sleep.

I had arranged to meet Nicky of the 621 Studio at the 621 at 9, but by 9.30, there was still no sign of her, so I headed off to the other sexshop I supply in the city, Simply Pleasure in Ferensway. After leaving books there I headed up the Beverley Road to see Tiffany, who filled me in on her plans. She wants to put some serious equipment into her dungeon, but putting suspension equipment in at Beverley Road, could have been dangerous, the roof might even have caved in, so when the lease runs out in September, she is going to work from home. She told me a fair bit about her past and this is a lady who believes in telling it like it is and I feel could make a very useful contribution to any new TV programme I might be doing in future. What was particualrly unusual about her was her desire to pay income tax and become a fully paid up member of society and her candid admission she had worked the streets initially to save up the money to get started.

From here I headed over to Club V.I.P. and found myself coming across an old friend whom I had not seen in years, the last time having been in Preston. More recently, Roly had been the man behind Lincs Massage a group of five or six parlours stretching from Boston to York. After a misunderstanding with the police, a number had to close down, but the odd one remains and he now has taken over and fully refurbished Club V.I.P., which must rank as the most luxurious parlour in the city. And it appears to be on the up and up, boasting a mixed selection of ladies, certainly more attractive than the selection one would find at your average Hull parlour. And he has plans for a dungeon as extensive as the one he used to run at the White House in Preston.

My next call was at Discretion, the new name for the former Xanadu located in Edgar St on the river side of Hessle Road, not far from the location of Hull's top parlour of ten years ago, Mystique. Paul has handed over the parlour to his partner Sylvia and is concentrating his efforts now on developing an escort agency, Discreet Escorts.

I next headed over to the new establishment, Kitty Kats, which is located in a luxury warehouse conversion flat in the Marina area. The flat was unusual to say the least comprising a kitchen come living area plus above it a bedroom with a bathroom off it, very suitable for one person to live in, provided he was out working all day, but not where one might expect to find a private working flat. I again came across an old acquaintance, this time, Demi, a very competent brunette in her late thirties who had entertained me at the 621 a year or so ago.
I had now seen everyone I needed to see in Hull bar Nicky of the 621, who was still not answering her phone and so I headed across the Humber Bridge to Grimsby. No one was around at Nicole's to see me though I was given the mobile number of the lady in charge, but I did find that the premises which had been Cleopatra's before it closed down, had by now reopened and was now called Romanza. Somewhat tatty and with two fierce dogs near the front door, making it advisable to enter from the rear, I again ran into a lady who recognised me, though I did not recognise her this time.
This left only The Regency in Immingham to visit, Sue at Valentines in Cleethorpes, being a somewhat mercurial character, had made it clear she did not want to see me. Christine at the Regency was also being visited by a local health worker, one of her ladies who had just called in and another lady who was surplus to requirements, besides the two ladies working there, so on entering the reception area I could not find anywhere to sit, so Christine suggested we went through to the front waiting room. She is slowly getting her act togehter but it is a most peculiarly located parlour being essentially in the middle of nowhere in an industrial area. Nevertheless it appears to be going well.
That concluded my visit to the York, Hull & Grimsby areas, but I had finished relatively early in the afternoon, so I reflected on an offer I had been made some months ago, by Joe, the boss at Europa in Chesterfield Rd., Sheffield. On ringing him, he suggested I enjoy a session with Chanel, a well built blonde in her twenties. Very energetic, she rather enjoyably showed me how energetic she could be. I had just one call left now and that was to my old friend Jo, who used to run Pussy Galore in Carwood Rd., Sheffield. I had bumped into her at Notorious Girls in Bury and before that briefly at the Wonder Lounge also in Bury. Back working herself now after an extended period of management at Pussy Galore, she has a first class body and on turning up at her place I was introduced, in between answering potential customers, to a gentleman who was taking photos of her for her website and who had done a lot of such photos for other ladies over in Greater Manchester. I was treated to a steream of info about what was going on both in Sheffield and Greater Manchester particularly since the advertising boycott by the Manchester Evening News and Sheffield Star. By now however I had well and truly shot my bolt, so I bade her and her colleague farewell and headed back home.
