Pruni what sort of "acquaintance"... one that rung you up on a special rate chat line by any chance??
and why SURREY precisely...
can't help you though tbh it does sound like a good business opportunity

lol!!
Its funny I was thinking about this the other day..I was struggle balancing the books and thought how many mums turn to prostitution...Wondered could i post
'are you a prostitute'
on mumsnet?!!!

Sorry, if you don't live in Surrey i just can't tell you.

I had to pass atest to live here

I have a friend who lives in an area where prostitution is commonplace - street corner stuff. Not in Surrey though.

She's lived there for many years and has seen the area change over that time. Many years ago apparently there used to be lots of 'awayday' mums who would come and turn a few tricks during school hours but now she says it is much more seedy than that and most of the prostitutes are part of a world of drugs, sex and violence, controlled by pimps, addicted to drugs.

High-class 'escorts' and 'masseuses' feature fairly regularly in women's mags telling how they make money - legit and all declared to Inland Revenue. Not sure I've ever noticed one being a mum though altho often they say they are in steady relationships.

Was talking to a colleague the other evening. Her husband used to be an officer in the army, but is now retired. Apparently part of her job as a senior officer's wife was to mentor the younger army wives. According to her, prostitution was quite common amongst the younger wives, to earn some extra money. Not sure how her mentoring role operated in these circumstances, but she said it was very common and quite open.

wow, freckle, the first message I read on mumsnet for a few days was yours - I learn something new every time here!

There is a Mummy at the school gates who arrives rushing every day,she would get there faster if she would just remove those ridiculous high heels, mind you her skirt is quite tight, so she probably couldn't run too fast anyway.

Still she is very generous and always supports the PTA (in cash). When we know she is going to be at a function, we always seem to get extra help from the Dads (funny that).

My BF's DH swears blind he only pulled over to ask her if she was going to the PTA firework display,says he was only being friendly, he reckons that the police got it all out of context.

I live in Surrey, do you think she might be a prostitute ???? {innocent emoticon}

BTW I am only joking.

Pruni, from the title I thought you were looking for it ;)

pruni it just doesnt happen in surrey
it happpens everywhere

I have heard rumours of two people that live around the corner from me that do this kinda work.

I also knew a money lender who paid 2 girls £500 between them to do a porn video for him, he offered me £500 also but I told him where to shove it.I thought he was winding me up but wasnt until there was showings of the two girls video that it was actually true

OMG

Freckle's post reminded me: Australian friend tells me that it was common in big Aussie military town for women to display OMO boxes (brand of laundry powder) in their windows when their DH was away - an advert. OMO = On My Own

There's a mum at school whose number plate is OMO. I wonder?

Well theres a new suggestion for the Work from Home questions

People who were adults during the 40s and 50s remember OMO washing powder too - apparently the story was wives used to put OMO in the window to single it was OK for their fancy man to pop round. In this country it stood for "Old Man Out".

But I think your acquaintance was just having a quite nasty male fantasy along the lines of a porn video. Bored housewives must be gagging for it with anyone who offers, mustn't they, in some men's minds. It's the old 'washing machine repair man pops round' porn video story line.

Didn't mean he is nasty, just that kind of male fantasy when applied to real people.

girls this man was always a dirty minded joker but had a heart of gold iykwim
I reallly thought he was joking but obviously not.

This sounds like Maisie Gibbons in Desperate Housewives, has he been watching it and getting confused do you think?

Very funny!

A friend of mine works with a guy who visits prostitutes at 'saunas'. He is married .

Anyway, he actually posts reviews on a website! I have looked , I am far too curious and it is totally bizarre and pathetic.

Reviews of WGs (can u guess?) from all over the UK.

I can assure you that kind of thing doesn't happen in Surrey
Having lived here all my life and never heard such a thing

Actually there is a massage place A few miles away and I am sure it's a brothel!!!! They advertise for staff and I am tempted to apply just to satisfy my curiosity

OOOOER Essbee do you work there???

My ex boyfriend was in the Navy.He told me the same thing about the box of washing powder in the window.I thought he was making it up!

The OMO thing sounds like an urban legend to me. That being said, I can't find any cites for it, either way, anywhere.

I'm in Surrey & blissfully unaware..
although..
a colleague just moved into a flat in a major town here & was disturbed on his 1st night by a mad yelling for a woman, turned out it used to be a brothel. bit disconcerting.
