going to see a PD is a luxuary, just like lots of other things. either you find the money or you cut back, like in many other aspects of life.

Space travels in my blood. And there ain't nothing I can do about it.
I know I'm being used, that's okay cause I like the abuse.
I can resist everything except temptation.

Yes, but not to see a PD. Essentials have to be met first.

PS If VAT had not increased then income tax would have had to rise.

I think the recession needs to be kept in perspective - unemployment is 7.8% compared to 5% 5 years ago, and the increase in VAT rate, which isn't yet in effect, is 2.5%.

Those are important figures if you're unlucky enough to lose your job, but the vast majority of people who had enough disposable income to visit a pro-domme a year ago will stay be able to do so today, won't they?

I think those figures don't tell the whole story. Many people have less secure employment, fewer hours, poorer pay rises, heavier workload / expectations as employers take advantage of the market conditions, less overtime and so on. Many self-employed, small businesses etc have far less business. And many people have lost employment but are not on benefits. I personally have a third of the gross pay that I had 2 years ago, supplemented by bits of casual earnings.
