“If they want to make a living, they have to stand in the window but there are many, many men coming. From England, Scotland, Ireland. Drunk, screaming, trying to make pictures.”

Aw; so sad… Not! Their choice to ho themselves…
The hos themselves can’t resist smartphones:
So they really oughta be more understanding. š
