Actually I see a few escorts in London who charge that and that was only a very small sampling on RM. I see Viktorrom is going to be in London starting tomorrow and he charges in that range. He also claims to be 6 feet tall, which I really doubt. I've seen him in porn flics by Lucas with an escort I've been with who is 6'1" and towers over him.

I just looked him up. Not a bad body, nothing spectacular but totally disfigured by those hideous tattoos. £300 is preposterous.

I just saw Gabriel Crosse's ad and he also charges #300. I imagine that is the going rate for true pornstars, which he and Viktorrom are. You pay for the celebrity and bragging rights. Lol

I’ve admired Gabriel’s add and watched his videos for years. He’s cute.

300 may be a lot, but I think he (Gabe) is worth every penny. That's me; others may feel differently. Honestly, I think he is better for a longer session than a quick fuck.

I'm shocked by the lack of masks on the tubes so I've been using a lot of cabs/Ubers.  Overall it's frightening how few people are wearing masks.

Different rules. Masks not required in England if you are vaccinated . I believe the rules are different in Scotland and Wales.

You're still supposed to wear them on trains, tubes and buses though but not everybody does. It's a rule brought in by Transport for London but it's not law so very little anyone can do.

yes there are lots of cases in London, I caught covid a few weeks ago, luckily it was quite mild. At certain hours the public transport is packed so is a vector for transmission.

I'm probably still going in a week but I'll curtail hiring and tube travel to what's necessary. 

Delta just emailed me that the UK requires a test within 2 days of arrival from US????

That is true.

When you open the list of (covid test lol) providers, most are about 1 pound. Seems you could meet the requirement to get in with a paid test. Would be wonderful if they gave them at the airport.

It does scare me that Delta's answer to "what if you test positive" is "You don't fly". hoo-boy would i hate to be in that situation. And many people have long-term symptomless covid and don't know it.

I avoided all Tube travel for this reason back in August. Not exactly thrilled the people I know and care about over there are so lax when it comes to the virus. It's so strange to me how so many people take their sexual and regular health so seriously but when it comes to Covid, it's in the rearview mirror even as thousands die daily.

I guess it's a question of balancing a normal life with precautions. I have all three shots and wear masks in stores. I'm wondering now about my trip to London, not so much for the surge there (which is declining a bit) as the risk of getting stranded with a positive test. My Kaiser covers me worldwide but still.....

You have to have the COVID test within 48 hours of arrival and you can get it at Heathrow.  We used ExpressTest which has test sites at Terminal 3 and Terminal 5 for international arrivals.  The PCR runs £70, but the other tests are cheaper.  You must schedule in advance.  There are several places where you can pick up the test at home kit.  Those are on the UK.gov website.  Much cheaper - free at many sites - and accepted by the UK gov, but not for flying back to the US.  New rules go into effect 08 Nov but that piece is not expected to change yet.

And remember, it can be on or before day 2 so you can do it on arrival at the airport. A bit more expensive but it gets it out of the way and you don't have to interrupt your trip to go get tested or mess around at home with home tests.

Would be interesting if someone could recommend a testing place at the airport for Day 2 that they have tried. . I hate US flag carriers with a passion ( so Delta, United , American ugh….) and living in New York we have choices of the worlds best to anywhere   - so very often its BA ( Terminal 5) for me. 

I was just there in September and had to do a very expensive PCR test at this place in Notting Hill that charged me £90 for it.  Cutting into my hiring budget !

The at home tests are fine - I use it to come back to the US, but I suspect most people here are not the most tech savvy - I work in tech.

ExpressTest.  https://www.expresstest.co.uk/

They are at terminal 3 and 5.  We were through the process in 20 minutes and on our way.  The Terminal 3 site is steps away from where you exit the Tube at the T2/3 stop (above ground).  I know at least one person who took the tube back out to Heathrow for the day 2 test on day 2, then back to the city.  Given the price of the express train from Paddington, he'd have done better to visit one of the clinics in the city or pick up a home test at one of the distribution sites.

The at home test I bought for pre return trip was simple to do, but I did need to have someone watch me do it over the phone. I guess they figure a known negative person could take the test for someone else. The day 2 test I had to mail back (postage was included) so there wasn't any tech involved. It cost me a couple hundred dollars for all three but I received an extra test for each of the pre flight testing so I got 5 for the price. I let my sister used one when she thought she was exposed and I still have one left for the future.

This is just so much hassle. I'm staying in my country until all this passes.
