London man complains to Trading Standards after prostitute refusal

The trading standards team at a London borough received a written complaint earlier this month from a man who was turned away by a prostitute in a brothel in the area.

According to reports, the man criticised the prostitute’s behaviour and complained that he had wasted his time travelling from a neighbouring borough in north London. He also gave his contact details on the form.

The police have taken action to close the brothel in question.

Cllr Susan Hall, leader of Harrow Council, said: “Prostitution may be the oldest profession in the world, but a complaint of this sort is a new one on us; the trading standards manual doesn’t really cover it.

“I would like the gentleman involved to visit Harrow again, but perhaps this time he could enjoy some of our more wholesome pursuits – like our wonderful open parks, leisure centres and historic churches.”
