A Fairly Accurate Accounting

There have been several threads where we discussed fees without ever quoting any stastistics. Just what we thought was going on. I hve just finished a bit over a half hour tabulating the fees listed on the new reviews from the last week. (No, you get a life. "The unexamined life isn't worth living." - Frederick G. Bonfils, founder of the Houston Post) After I ignored all non USA currencies, figured that one quote for $400 must actually have been for two hours, and averaged together the two numbers when any one review mentioned a range for one person, I came up with 97 entries. Of which I somehow lost about six. So this isn't absolutely accurate, but is within a nice margin of error. The range was 80 - 300. The median was 170. The average was 175. Taking California as a whole, the highest numbers were fairly evenly divided between NYC and CA. Of the seven overnight prices listed, the range was 400 - 1600. The median was 750. The average was 760. There was only one weekend rate sited, which was an incredible 150.

Although I haven't been as systematic in my accounting, I think that it is fair to say that London compares VERY favourably with most major US cities in this regard, particularly NY. Prices seem to range from 70 to 100 pounds (about $100 to $150). Average about $125. And most London escorts seem to do in-calls (I'm not sure that's true of most NY escorts), which makes it even more affordable for those of us who would rather not pay for a hotel.

I would not be surprised if the same applied to the entire coutry of England. I would like to point out, though, that my sample was taken from the entire USA. I am wondering what would happen to the numbers if we singled out the coasts. We'd probably find some numbers more in line with England's.
