Mature escort

Just after people's opinions on how they'd feel living opposite a very busy adult escort. Living in a quiet cul de sac but our house is the only one that would directly be able to see what's going on (worked it out when off on maternity leave before baby was here, lots of time on my hands!)

I just wouldn’t want this going on in my immediate environment and in plain sight

Unless she’s servicing them on the front lawn it’s hardly plain sight

The lady has men around and they pay and have sex.
Your partner comes home, pays (shopping etc) and you (presumably) have sex.
The difference being??

Vashna · 15/07/2018 21:56

People in my street complain if your bins aren’t straight or your porch lights broken or you have your door painted an “unauthorised” shade of black.

Yet on MN, we’re all meant to be fine about a prostitute working over the road from our children.

This is a very odd thread.

Vashna · 15/07/2018 21:56

What are you on about 5432?

Nicknacky · 15/07/2018 21:57

No one has to be fine with it. But there is a massive difference between that and vandalism.

What’s the harm to your children?

OftenHangry · 15/07/2018 22:00

@jazzyfizzles just tell her if she could make sure they are not using your visitors spavce. Or even better! Offer to let it to her 😉

Vashna · 15/07/2018 22:01

Nicky, well the OP could go for the option of taking a photo of him and sticking it on his windscreen, etc. This is not vandalism. No doubt people will be up in arms that this is an infringement of the poor man’s human rights, or something like that?

Vashna · 15/07/2018 22:03

“What’s the harm to your children?”

Well I have two teens and a ten year old and they’re not stupid are they?

PortiaCastis · 15/07/2018 22:03

How petty and small minded to whinge about a bin being straight, by God do folk really have time for that shite

JacquesHammer · 15/07/2018 22:03

My 11 year old wouldn’t have a clue what the neighbours were up to. It’s all a bit dramatic this “won’t someone think of the children” malarkey

Nicknacky · 15/07/2018 22:04

vashna It could end up being harassment of the householder. Just leave her alone.

Seriously, why bring problems to your door?!

SpiritedLondon · 15/07/2018 22:04

I am guessing you meant EBay

No I meant Etsy - but it’s a moot point. I don’t go around challenging self employed people about their tax situation. I bet there are a whole load of cleaners paid cash in hand by mumsnetters and no ones querying whether they’re paying their bloody taxes

JacquesHammer · 15/07/2018 22:04

Just to add in general. We’ve actually had a discussion about prostitution following her reading a book where it was mentioned.

So no, they’re not stupid at all.

KittyHawke80 · 15/07/2018 22:05

This thread has taken a disturbing turn. Francine - you’ve seriously never heard of Etsy?

OftenHangry · 15/07/2018 22:06

Blackmail is illegal under Theft Act. And "don't come here or else I post your pic" very well amount sto that. So yet again. You are just throwing around ideas which could lead to criminal record. Nice one.

@SpiritedLondon 👏

54321go · 15/07/2018 22:06

The woman 'over the road' has sex with a number of men, the OP does this with one , the activities are the same. Only a slightly different viewpoint.

FrancinePefko42 · 15/07/2018 22:07

There’s people like you, the bitterest caped crusaders of tax evasion.

Not bitter. Just wanting everyone to play by the rules.

I’m far more concerned about big businesses paying their legitimate taxes rather than the small fry.

Me too. Both should be achievable.

Vashna · 15/07/2018 22:07

Portia - they are in a committee. Anything in your front garden has to be agreed eg. sculptures.

ButchyRestingFace · 15/07/2018 22:10

the police would do nothing as she is not doing anything illegal and OP's life is not disrupted by the lady working

Has soliciting been decriminalised then?

PortiaCastis · 15/07/2018 22:10

What a sad sad life

JacquesHammer · 15/07/2018 22:15

Has soliciting been decriminalised then?

The offence is soliciting in a public place

FrancinePefko42 · 15/07/2018 22:15

@Vashna

So you would slap me
No I would not because that would be criminal assault.I am advocating playing by the rules. My comment was on response to your "logic" Hmm from up thread "it won't kill them". That doesn't make it okay.

but it’s all “live and let live” as far as punters go? Yes. As long as she is not under any kind of duress or being exploited and paying her taxes.
