Edgbaston in Birmingham maybe one of the city's most affluent suburbs but it has been plagued with the problem of prostitution for many a year, although over the last decade its image has been 'cleaned up' to an extent.
A friend of mine was walking her dog in the area one evening this week when she encountered a pimp. Hailing from north of the border she's not the type of girl who keeps her thoughts to herself. Words were exchanged then the pimp retracted his arm as if he was going to hit her. Whether or not he would have, we'll never know as she hit him first.
He didn't retaliate but cursed her and branded her a 'psycho' saying she had broken his jaw. Not sure if this was true or not.
Anyway, she got home and decided to inform the Police because she was worried she might be in trouble over it. What did the Policewoman say to my friend?
"You did the right thing!"
