So not only did we have a brothel in our back yard but I doubt any Newbury residents were aware of it's existence ( poor PR there me feels ) The point I wish to raise , even though I am going to get pilloried for it , is why such a harsh sentence ? Unless I have missed something they where obviously providing a service that was well patronised , the "girls were not minors or used against their will , so what is the crime apart from an outdated Victorian attitude to such things . I know we all leap to the moral high ground at the mere mention of such activities but by virtue of them being popular surely poses the question about them being decriminalized . If all and sundry wish to take issue with me over this posting I am quite prepared to hide behind the wall till the flack subsides , but I will expect a valid argument based on legal precedent not moral outrage .

We also mustn’t forget equal opportunities. There was nothing stopping a brothel opening up for women to use either. However, and saying all that, I didn’t know we had brothels in Newbury. Obviously a well kept secret; probably frequented by the rich and people with rough old partners. The question is; did NWN know about it and if they did would they have advertised it? Could one walk into Ann Summers and ask “Where is the nearest brothel please?” Or do they just sell batteries?

QUOTE (Strafin @ Sep 25 2009, 05:13 PM) I'd like to take issue - why do people keep posting new threads that sound like they are half way through already? What the **** are you talking about? I have been to the Newbury Today home page and there's nothing on there that ties in with this, and if there is you should have included a link. And the brothels address and telephone number In mitigation I have not a clue how to include a link in my postings and for that I am truly sorry . Any advise on this would be appreciated .

QUOTE (JeffG @ Sep 25 2009, 08:09 PM) Well, maybe the editor puts the BBcode in for you automatically. It has to be there, anyway. what editor? I just copy and paste and that is it. There is no BBcode in it other than what I've said. I also run two forums and we do it exactly that way.
